I recently started my first Serious Sam game and I am super excited! I’ve been craving a bulletstormy mindless shooter, and I thought that that was what Serious Sam goes for. So I started it up last night and went with normal. Almost immediately I found myself having to conserve ammo, aim carefully, and watch my health. I died after the first group of enemies. I reloaded, moved more carefully, and made a decent dent in the level before dieing several more times.
I started googling and found out I was entirely wrong about Sam, its a game meant to challenge and force you to think about enemy spawns and weapon choice. It is not at all the game I was expecting but it is a ton of fun and I reccomend it to anyone looking for a fun challenging shooter!
I still have PTSD from all those kamikaze bombers. Those “aaaaaa” when a horde of them running down the hill with no end in sight forever etched in my head.
It was the skeletons throwing the bolas for me. Terrified little me to the point that I’d just run and hide from those bastards. Some places they’d come in a giant group, from all directions, just after a wave of those charging bulls and my stress levels would spike and I’d need to pause and go pee lol
Play it multiplayer. It’s the bullet stormy mindless shooter you wanted, and its a blast.
If you want a less serious experience, the multiplayer is usually much more run and gun, die and respawn with little penalty.
Seems like you would love DOOM Eternal, but first play DOOM 2016 if you want to follow the lore. But most doom players don’t really care about that. Still the game’s soundtrack is awesome. I recommend you play both if not already.
