The formula of Serious Sam is basically in this order: encounter enemies, find a new weapon, fight new enemies, then a boss, and repeat. Enemy variety eventually starts to get stale. Things start to all blend in from the first level unto the last.
You’re oftentimes traveling through derelict streets of a foreign country or ruins. One of the ongoing weaker aspects of Serious Sam is that the game gets rather repetitive after a while. “Hey, didn’t I kick your ass two rooms back?” The name of the game is to simply gear up with the most powerful weapons and mow down hordes of wacky enemies, delivering hilarious dialogue along the way. In some cases, you’ll have enough firepower to take on literal gods! While coming at you in droves, you’ll have more than enough firepower to deal with the threats as they come. Sam is pitted against hordes and hordes of enemies of Mental’s army, consisting of wacky and wild anomalies that serve as nightmare fuel or feel like references to other absurd enemies from other video games. The premise sounds badass on paper, but it is much more whimsical and hilarious in ways that remind us of the old days.
He bears the task of quelling the armies of Mental, a dark deity of sorts. You assume control of Sam “Serious” Stone, a man probably in his mid-30s, who is basically humanity’s last hope.
Serious Sam 4 is a first-person shooter that has the heart and the gusto of what makes the franchise so great. This is definitely an extremely polarizing title, to say the least. The game is a beautifully unoptimized mess that is somehow fun, humorous, and in some cases, painful to bear. However, given the hours I sunk into the game, I now understand why there is no last-gen port. In a time where getting your hands on a new gaming console is as difficult as snagging the latest drop for a limited-run pair of sneakers, this will hurt the early sales of Serious Sam 4.
