![]() ![]() Wait too long, and they will take a serious chunk of your health with them. Take out the kamikaze bomb-holding rushers too early, and you miss out on the chance for their death explosion to wipe out a decent pool of lesser minions, saving you ammo. ![]() Much like in DOOM, you’ll need to carefully plan out which enemies to take out in which order. Each still managed to feel distinctive, however and was still useful against particular enemies. Weapons have an absurdly long range, relative to other first person shooters, and so it is an extremely versatile weapon. It is easy to feel overwhelmed, and it can take a couple of tries to get through, as knowing where health and ammo pickups are on the map helps you to plan out how to survive.Īt your disposal is a decent array of weapons, and thankfully the shotgun is everything that you need it to be. Not much else has changed though – the focus is still on finding open arenas absolutely chock-a-block filled with various types of aliens and cycling through your weapons, back-strafing and circling around to keep them away. The game starts with a new alien invasion, centering on Europe this time, and Sam is there to look for the Holy Grail with a gun-toting Russian priest. Much as Kingdom Hearts 3 felt as if it were ripped straight out of the early 2000s, Serious Sam 4 will make you nostalgic for the games of their respective era while giving you new insights into some of the issues that you might have glossed over at the time. Unlike some of my favourite recent releases, like Ion Fury, this isn’t an homage to past Serious Sam games as it is a direct sequel, for good and for worse. It is not just the tone of the game, the somewhat janky menus – at least on PC – the weirdly floaty, erratic feeling of the camera and controls, but the combination of all the above that gives it a very familiar flair.īut I’m not sure this isn’t unintentional. I don’t think I’ll be the first to say that Serious Sam 4 feels like it has been discovered, as if in a time capsule, from a decade ago, except with better graphics. ![]()
