Serious carnage for Serious people.

Serious Sam 4 is well worth playing with smooth gameplay and lots of enemies to blast into gibs. It's sort of a combination of Serious Sam 3's more 'real' locales (but no bombed-out Middle Eastern cities) and TFE/TSE's colorful carnage. All the classic weapons and enemies return with a facelift and a surprising amount of detail. Audio is generally very good with meaty weapons fire and distinct sound cues for each type of enemy; if you have quality surround sound speakers or headphones you can enjoy the thundering bass of the minigun and Werebull hooves, among other things. There is a story told through radio messages and cutscenes throughout the game, but thankfully the latter mainly occur between missions and fights (and they can be skipped if you wish). Croteam gives lots of options for the game, including the ability to disable quest markers and other popups modern games enjoy shoving in your face. Video settings have a variety of options and some presets, so those with weaker PCs can tweak them to find the right setup. There's a benchmark option where you can test your settings before starting a campaign, which is quite helpful for seeing how it performs. Pros: - Good variety in levels, from urban streets to wide open countryside. - Weapons are very satisfying (except for the knife, which they could have left out). - Combat is very smooth and responsive with mouse and keyboard. - Most fights are quite fun and have good pacing. - Some secrets are fun to figure out and have multiple ways to achieve them (sometimes in ways Croteam may not have expected). Cons: - Some levels are absolutely gargantuan, but exploring outside the intended play area is usually a waste of time and can be a little glitchy. - Ammo is too plentiful in most areas while Armor is surprisingly uncommon. - Certain boss battles are tedious due to the annoying gimmicks involved. Serious Sam 4 is a solid entry in the series with a few flaws. If you enjoy other games in the series, dig in!

WTF has happened to you, Serious Sam...

TL;DR It's better than SS2, but worse than any other game in the series. On it's own it stands as a very average shooter at it's best, if you ignore all the story and characters. I'm giving it a below average score because of all the focus on pointless things. Not so TL;DR Take Serious Sam, get rid of beautiful environments and replace them with boring modern ones, then jam a bunch of obnoxious characters and a story into it, top with occasional stutter on a modern hardware and that's SS4. Croteam has forgotten what made SS so great. Back in a day the game WAS cool, because it focused on the gameplay and visual level-design. Now the game TRIES to be cool first and treats gameplay and design as a secondary concern. It honestly feels like the game tries to insist that it is in fact cool, but if you've ever known a person who always acts like they are cool - you know how uncool it actualy comes across. Instead of putting you in a classic environment, you get ruined modern cities. Instead of being alone, fighting hordes of aliens, you are accompanied by a bunch of bad characters. You'd think the game would try to ridicule the idea of having several protagonist-like one-liner-spitting bro-dudes, but no - it does it's best to insist that all of those characters are incredibly cool and you should like them. They are not. And don't even get me started on the story - for the love of fuck - who would ever think to try and put CUTSCENES with DIALOGUE into a fucking Serious Sam game?! The focus was put in the wrong direction and it shows. Shooting is just fine, but everything else, from boring levels to terrible characters and a forced story makes me not want to play this damn game. Serious Sam should be about you, being alone and fighting hordes of aliens across great environments and this ain't it. This feels like a bad EDF game with doped-up graphics. Please play SS 1st Encounter and 2nd Encounter, leave Serious Sam 4 to rot in hell. What a waste of time and money...

Serious Sam 4

Game play is fun but the cut scenes and characters are annoying.

Serious Sam the modern way

This game feels like the good old Serious Sam games, but according to the modern graphic standards. The shootouts where pretty challenging (playing in 'hard' mode), with lots of enemies in large open spaces, and made me feel like the good old Serious Sam game I used to play long time ago. At 'hard' difficulty mode the balance between being quite challenging and becoming frustratingly difficult really works for me. There is even some kind of story added to the game that doesn't add that much, but also isn't a big distraction from what Serious Sam is about; shooting at a huge amount of monsters. At my PC it runs like a charm, without any lag or stuttering.

It's Serious after the fixes

I played this after a while, knowing it was a technical disaster on launch. Major bugs have been fixed. Some glitches like texture popping, lighting flashing, and monsters getting stuck are still there. The game is really different from what it was advertised: Open world? No, just very large maps just like in the previous titles. But larger open fields for fights. Legion system? No, just in the last battle. Vehicles? There's a system for it but it's just some vehicle sections. Perk tree? Yeah, they can give you extra firepower and they are fun, it's not an RPG and it's not trying to be. Instead you get: The carnage: there are tides of enemies, more than i could think on previous titles. Many levels have above 1000 enemies, and the last one had only 1800? Trust me, it felt like there were 5000. Soundtrack: awesome as ever Enemy variety: better than 3 and 1, worse than 2. Weapon variety: more than ever. With alt-fires and dual wielding. Graphics: A step down from 3 but allows for huge maps Animations: Clunky and crappy as ever Story: it's generic and spoonfed but who cares, it's enough. Humour: Not too serious, makes you laugh sometimes. Mechanics and design choices: Reloading is bad but dual wielding is fun. Sprinting is fine. The fake jumps you make do not let you avoid projectiles like in previous titles. Maps: HUGE but they don't seem to have the same level of care like the previous titles. Fun: Very fun. And I was prepared for disappointment. This is a Serious Sam game and it's good. I have no serious issues on it as a fan, and bugs didn't plague my experience. I missed these games so much... Main issue is that the marketing team of Croteam made a horrible work, giving light on the worst and most insignificant aspects. I mean: French "open world" map doesn't make sense and it's there because it's in the trailer. It's clear that the marketing team does not know its audience.
