OMG Reviews and Stories
Review – Serious Sam 4
The Serious Sam games are first-person shooters that don’t require players to think too methodically but more so require players to be constantly on the move, usually backwards while strafing, using quick reflexes to avoid and destroy the thousands of enemies thrown in Sam’s face. Each title is relentless, with each new game adding more enemies to slaughter, with Serious Sam 4 easily throwing tens of thousands of fodder throughout its 10 hour campaign.
The Serious Sam franchise is now 20 years old, first appearing on PC in 2001 and console in 2002. Throughout the years Sam has starred in 14 titles and spin-offs, with his long-time developers Croteam, along with Digital Devolver releasing a 10-year-old sequel to Sam’s last numerical outing with Serious Sam 4. Released only on PC and Google Stadia last year, it has now comes to consoles, dropping on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
