Gameplay wise it's bigger and better than the First Encounter. A couple new weapons, more locaitons, more enemies, more of everything. Story wise (for weirdos like me who care about that) it's pretty bad. It's a non-canon comedy filler art that starts because of some inside joke by the developers and ends by returning to the same state of events as before, right after putting all continuety in the trash. But it takes a very special person to care about the Serious Sam story, and gameplay is still just better than the First Encounter.

Playability / Enjoyability 7/10 Graphics / Sound 5/10 Wokeness / ESG Score 0/10 Story / Writing 2/10 Replayability 2/10 A game you can enjoy without thinking too much, or at all. Shoot seemingly endless amounts of enemies while traversing ancient civilizations. What is there not to like. Posted 21 September.

The definitive Serious Sam experience. Just about everything in this game is perfect. If I had complaints, it would be directed at specific sections where the game takes control away from you, such as in a room where you're being pulled towards the nearest wall 24/7, and a tall room where you and every enemy constantly bounces on water. Yes, water. Beyond those sections, this game completely eclipses The First Encounter in every way, whether it be more weapons, enemy types, or generally better arenas and environments. I enjoy the first half of The First Encounter, but with that being said, the first half of this game is far better, and it stays good. Second half of The First Encounter is average to frustrating, on top of the environments not changing much aesthetically. This game ranges from Aztec, to creepy horror town, to christmasy snowy village. I love the environmental variety here. The first game is just ancient Egypt, which is a nice setting, but it's just that setting. Much better here.

Serious Sam has always had fun arenas to mow down hordes of unique enemies, though some of the areas do overstay their welcome I cant deny the arsenal of weapons were always a blast to use.
