Hell, the first good guy to die on this game is the only African-American member of the team. It also does a good job of acknowledging what it is: an action franchise with stereotypical characters, cliche elements, and incorporates all the tropes in the book: Cheesy one-liners (which is almost a plot element in the game), relentless military officials, often-cringy dialogue, the hot woman on the team has slept with the male protagonist, and so on and so forth. With all of that said, I have extremely mixed emotions when it comes to this game.įirst of all, the game is very funny. Players are just supposed to pick this game up and bask upon its absurdities, all the while being entertained by the fun gunplay combat. Contrary to the main character’s nickname, this game (or the franchise for that matter) is in no way trying to be a serious game with a deep narrative, political undertones, or groundbreaking gameplay. Those who are familiar with the franchise know that this is a game you should not take too seriously. This game does this shamelessly, and oftentimes, way too excessively, but we’ll get to that in a second. Its ability to spawn so many models in one drawing is a feat not that many developers will attempt, for all the good and bad reasons. You play as the man himself, Sam “Serious” Stone, as he travels to different places of the world in search of the Holy Grail, as an effort to stop an alien occupation from completely overtaking the Earth.Īt face value, Serious Sam 4 has the qualities of an amusing game. It is the fourth main entry to the franchise and a prequel to its predecessor, Serious Sam 3. Serious Sam 4 is an action first-person shooter game made by Croteam.
