Selected Articles
- "It’s a blast. I die in it. A lot. But just enough to where I feel challenged to push myself forward. I love that they are bringing back the old school hippie blood mode settings as an option, too. That kind of silliness was one of the things that always made me smile about the old school Sam games."
- John Dick, Interview Here - "I'm a 52 year old guy and been playing games since Atari 2600 back in 1977 and this game is awesome. I love most games but its very rare that i get addictive to one like this one. It's funny, entertaining, brutal, just everything in one. The only time i can really buy games is when there on special and im sure glad i got this one, good work. It just goes to show, you don't have to have a 100gb game for it to be good, in fact i have some 100gb games and this one is 100x better at a fraction of the size."
- Mancubus, Steam Reviews - "Serious Sam is temporarily shifting perspectives as it takes a trip into series antagonist Mental's twisted mind."
- Fraser Brown, PC Gamer - "
Shooting feels fantastic, the music is amazing and the writing made me laugh several times.
The simple aesthetic makes it easy to follow the action and it's adorable.
I would put this game above Enter The Gungeon and at the level of Nuclear Throne.
"
