"It’s hard to believe that the Serious Sam series has been around for nearly twenty years at this point and even harder to believe that the last time the series saw a new mainline game released for it happened to be nine years ago. Sam Stone has been kept fairly prominent in our minds through the years as Croteam and Devolver Digital have been teasing the release of Serious Sam 4 for some time and now that it has arrived on PC, does this fast paced shooter retain the same style fans hope for?'
"Nearly ten years after the first release of Serious Sam 3, Croteam and Devolver Digital finally released Serious Sam 4 on PC in 2020. One year later, an Xbox Series S|X version suddenly launched on Xbox Game Pass alongside PlayStation 5. While it’s great that console gamers can now enjoy the latest installment in one of my all-time favorite FPS series, major technical issues add plenty of unwelcome frustration to the console experience," says Co-Optimus.

HPP: "Are you tired of carefully preserving ammo, cowering behind cover and taking measured shots? Serious Sam is back to save the day as he runs around like an Olympic sprinter, throwing highly explosive C4 around like rice at a wedding. The Serious Sam series is known for a less than entirely serious take on the FPS genre, showing an affinity for classic genre staples of wanton destruction seasoned with a goofily fun narrative."
