Pros

Impactful arsenal.
Decimating hordes of foes can be satisfying.
Ample secrets hidden throughout levels.
Mindless fun.
Co-op.
Arenas full of bad guys.
Decent multiplayer.

Cons

Action feels more like cleanup than combat.
Campaign starts off slowly.
Sam's macho quips are rarely amusing.
Not very long.
Priced a little high.

A few levels into Serious Sam 3: BFE, I admit that I wasn’t really feeling it yet. I’d acquired a decent arsenal and had splattered some modestly sized herds of enemies, but the old Serious Sam magic just hadn’t shown up yet. It was...

Serious Sam 3 is a classical first-person shooter, much like the first two games of the series, or even something like Painkiller. You are a man who can carry a large number of guns, and you are presented with a series of bad guys you need to kill...

Over the past few years, the FPS has become an increasingly constrained and controlled experience, to the point where it is now little more than an epic game of follow-the-leader, a point-and-click adventure in which every puzzle involves combining...

In an age where first-person shooters have become first-person thinkers, a game that takes us back to the raw, gory roots of the genre and reminds us why we went all gaga over the concept in the first place is bound to succeed. And it does succeed,...

The big joke about Serious Sam is that he’s not serious at all. Well, he’s serious about kicking ass, because he (meaning you) can literally take on a thousand enemies single-handed and come out with only a few scratches. He’s not...
