Fun during the first 3 hours

Quite fun during the first two or three hours, then becoming dull and samey to the point of desperation, with an awfully tedious final boss to boot. I do not find the enemies particularly appealing, and knowing that they kept a lot of them pretty much the same in the following chapters makes me less willing to engage with them. Also, I do not know why you'd buy it here when a remastered version exists elsewhere. Sure I found it more fun than Quake 4, but the game's idea of fun is to throw waves of bullet-spongy enemies at the player, and it doesn't help that the weapons lack any element of realism like reloading, and generally feel not particularly satisfying to use. Sure Doom I & II do the same, but they do it much better and have 100% better, more varied and interesting levels to explore. I'd recommend it, but only if found at a very steep discount.

Serious-ly Brutal

Serious Sam: The First Encounter is the first game of the Serious Sam series. In this one, Sam travels alone to Ancient Egypt to stop an alien invasion. I dub these kind of games as "one man army" games, because you play as one character with many weapons against hundreds, if not thousands of enemies, with several boss fights in between. More games like this are Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, Doom, Quake, and many others. If you like those kind of games, you'd most likely enjoy the Serious Sam franchise. As usual with one man army games, shooting and killing enemies play a major part in the gameplay. You'll have a great variety of weapons, and you are free to use them according to your play style or enemy type. However, these kind of games usually lack story content. You may have fun blowing up enemies, but don't expect a memorable story from these games.

Hilarious!

I have played the demo version of this game, and loved it to pieces. It was so quirky, so unique. It gave me a whole new dimension when it comes to FPS. Now, to purchase the full game is a dream, and makes it much easier for me. Even so, the game is still as hilarious as ever. Whether it would be Sam's quirky remarks to certain enemies to the game, through to his uncompromising view that everything can be settled by the barrel of his gun/minigun/rocket launcher/grenade launcher etc. (well, the thing is, even the weapons are pretty much extreme! For example, a rocket launcher that doesn't hurt you?) If you are looking for something fresh, funny (in a very strange way) and just plain silly, well, this just might be the game for you.

Good Game

Serious Sam has very nice arid scenery (at various parts of the game, I felt a desire for the location to be real so that I could be there in person, minus the monsters of course) and some decently clever level design, both indoor and outdoors (but for me, the outdoors was what really shone). Given the length of the game, they could have added a few more monster types, but the monster types that are there all have a lot of flavor and are different enough from each other that each type will require its own tactic and weapon of choice to face. The guns are not revolutionary (except for the cannon which is hilarious and pretty terrific to use), but for the most part are different enough that you'll want to use different guns in different situation. The only exceptions to that are the grenade launcher which is mostly inferior to the missile launcher (yes, the grenade bounces off walls, but you won't use it as much as you'd think when facing hordes of randomly spawning enemies) and the laser rifle which is mostly inferior to the improved machine gun. The multiplayer includes the ability to play though the game in coop mode which is nice (I managed to make it work with the GOG version over a LAN, though it kept complaining about a lack of CD in the early game which was annoying) as many shooters regrettably don't have that. The game will keep your adrenaline pumping as it will send you wave after wave of monsters, especially in the later game, but while I found this was a good rush for the first couple of times, it became a bit tedious in the second half of the game (especially in the arena-style enclosed spaces, that was kinda boring). While the scale is immense at times (sometimes, I'd find myself shooting what must have been over 100 enemies at a time and more kept coming), quality would have beaten quantity hands down here. More situations where there are fewer, more cunning foes with an interesting scenery that can be used strategically would have been better (and there are such instances in the game, just not as many as I would have hoped). Also, the randomly spawning enemies are a mixed blessing. It will definitely keep you on your toes, but often, they will ambush you by spawning behind or around you in places you have already cleared and unless you have completed the game a couple of times, it will seem pretty random (especially when rocket launching monsters will spawn right behind you) so you'll feel the urge to save often. So overall: great atmosphere and flavor, great adrenaline rush, but not as many interesting shootout situations as I would have liked to see. Still a good game despite its shortcomings.

Killer Fun

Classic FPS, its a simple shooter, nothing more. The arcade style gameplay is very enjoyable and satisfying, blasting monsters with the shotgun is so much fun. There are many hidden secrets you can find by exploring the map One minor annoyance is NETRISCA. It gives you info on mobs but if you ignore it, it flashes its icon. A thing to note - The game by default is not in widescreen mode. You can follow this article to resolve this : https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Serious_Sam:_The_First_Encounter#Widescreen_resolution
