#SERIOUS SAM 2 WALKTHROUGH SERIES#

Most enemies just run at you and shoot, but a few have distinctive behaviors to counter and can combine to be especially lethal. However, this menagerie doesnвЂ™t make any sense as a collection of enemies in a single game, ensuring that the Serious SamвЂ™s universe never feels like a plausible place. ThereвЂ™s certainly some spectacle to seeing a swarm of a hundred enemies bearing down on you, and it gets chaotic quickly. ItвЂ™s a hodgepodge of dozens of different types, ranging from the most basic zombies and the iconic/obnoxious screaming headless kamikaze bombers to laser-packing alien soldiers, flaming mummies, galloping horned skeletons, weird little one-eyed beasts, scorpion-men with miniguns, charging werebulls, giant four-armed lizard-men, telekinetic witch queens, numerous direct Doom and Quake demon ripoffs, actual nosferatu-style vampires, and many, many more. вЂњI will give Serious Sam 4 this much, though: the sheer variety of monsters you fight is insane in more ways than one. Every once in a while a decent gag lands, but just as often the script will inexplicably turn completely serious with no punchlines to it and it feels bizarrely out of place. I love a good pun more than most, and this wore thin pretty quickly.

We get a series of stiffly animated cutscenes in which Sam Stone and his military buddies fight to overthrow an alien overlord in Europe byвЂ¦ finding the Holy Grail, because why not? SamвЂ™s voice sounds like heвЂ™s gargling liquid Duke Nukem as he and his allies rattle off an endless barrage of barely funny one-liners, constantly workshopping their comedy out loud. ItвЂ™s just kind of strafing to the side.For whatever reason, thereвЂ™s a story that attempts to justify all the weird carnage youвЂ™ll cause, and itвЂ™s just as much of a jumble as the battles. It layers on a few new ideas like dual wielding and a skill tree, at least, but while Doom has reinvented itself for modern times, Serious Sam seems to revel in neither moving forward nor backward. Sure, 2011вЂ™s Serious Sam 3 felt like a goofy throwback to a simpler time, but in 2020 Serious Sam 4вЂ™s brand of non-stop run-and-gun shooting feels downright archaic. Serious Sam, I think you have a problem and need an intervention. And like all drugs, it can be dangerous to become reliant on it.
