Nostalgia won`t be enough here.
Somewhere between Doom, Duke Nukem, and Quake lies Serious Sam. The underdog for almost 20 years, Serious Sam built a cult following by promising fast-paced, arena-style combat with an arsenal of weapons and a badass protagonist spewing one-liners with every headshot. A budget title in comparison to its contemporaries, Serious Sam often skipped out on the production value, doubling down on its gameplay gimmick — more enemies on screen and bigger, badder guns to kill them with.
Serious Sam 4 marks the return of Sam `Serious` Stone and his alien killing antics and promises the same chaotic arcade-style shooter fans are used to, but does it deliver? Unfortunately, Sam is unable to circle strafe his way around dated gameplay, poor pacing, and an unbelievably bad presentation.
