![]() ![]() Serious Sam 4 has a couple of modes to choose from. These serve to extend the playtime a little as well as giving you some cool extras, and being that most of them are typically quick, easy, and not too far off the story beats, they don’t feel like worthless add-ons for the sake of being worthless add-ons. You can, however, get extra goodies and upgrades by taking on optional side missions. This is deliberate – the game drops new weapons of destruction as you progress, and it helps feed that action-reward cycle. Armed with just a pistol, I definitely felt a bit weak to begin with. Things start a little slow, though, and the first hour was a bit of a slog. And that’s what Serious Sam 4 does brilliantly. Sure, there is a story and a cast worth watching in the cut-scenes, but nobody is analysing Sam’s character arc here, right? It’s all about piling through large arenas, firing rocket launchers at 30ft lizard monsters, and trying not to get unalived by the suicidal nutjobs with bombs for hands. Serious Sam 4 doesn’t let its story get in the way of its chaotic gameplay. My hands were number after an hour, and it felt good. ![]() Serious Sam 4 takes the titular hero on an action-packed romp through 15 missions that won’t blow your socks off for story content, but they’ll have your controller shaking uncontrollably due to the constant barrage of mental alien baddies. Some jokes stick the landing, others had me wincing from the cringe. It’s still a fast-paced, mental stop-and-you-die shooter, and the humour is still hit and miss. But from what little I’ve played of them, Serious Sam 4 definitely feels like a modern extension of the franchise, but without bagging itself down by reinventing itself for modern audiences. I had a brief play of the originals back in the day, but I was just a kid when Sam was gracing the covers of gaming magazines – remember them? Yes, I know there’s the Serious Sam Collection that’s on consoles now, but I’ve not had the time to really go through them. To be honest, I’m not all that familiar with Serious Sam.
