This 2005 release is a fun based run-and-gun game that's decently enjoyable because it's highly unserious. You can expect it to be seriously silly in terms of references and jokes which include puns and sometimes obliviously dry humor, in a somewhat of an attempt to sound badass. This however works in the favor of the game atmosphere in addition to the graphics, making it look like a children's game even if the monsters would easily make one cry. Trust me, I played this since its first release and it still feels unique and I keep coming back to it. This is why: Some guns are cute (the parrot, the cannon), some are ugly (rocket launcher, the yellow...THING), but the shotguns are so satisfying to shoot. These guns feel unique yet simple, contrary to the common shotguns you see in games, but they also shoot and reload in a satisfying manner. Remember that tick you had with reloading constantly? Forget it, the game does it for you. There are easter eggs to find...but not all of them are easy to find and it rewards exploring the environment, which is so well made...except for that swamp. I go through that level while sipping on a depresso and a few memory pills because I get lost. The story is focused on being comedic with the plot being like a side-dish. It feels like it's meant to add context to why you run and shoot ugly primitives left and right. But it has the effect of a fun meme compilation video on Youtube. The OST has some great tracks, not all of them seem to fit the vibe of the game tho, but some will stay in your head for years. Maybe because they're great or maybe because if you sing with a sword at a violin you get better music. There's a new setting to x1000 the enemies, making it a chaotic mess or even combine weapons. Who doesn't want to shoot with a shotgun in 1 hand and a rocket launcher on the other without breaking both arms? Is the game long? Depends. Can finish it in a couple of (5) hours depending if you rush it or not. Some encounters made sure you play more than intended, it can get slightly boring. It also has quite some bugs, it might even crash when you minimize the window, yet nothing that would compromise the gameplay entirely. But do be cautious if you start the Serious Sam franchise from this one...as the rest will not feel the same and vice-versa. So I recommend this game if you're looking for a chill, no-brain run-and-gun comedic adventure with an option to challenge yourself.

This game is STUPID. Fun, but STUPID, like, braindead dumb. The best character model for Sam though they should've kept that design

Serious Sam 2, the 2005 release by Croteam, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of chaotic, over-the-top first-person shooters. This sequel to the wildly popular Serious Sam series harnesses the essence of old-school arcade shooters, offering players an action-packed experience filled with humor, distinctive visuals, and relentless waves of enemies. **Gameplay: Pure Adrenaline Rush** At its core, Serious Sam 2 maintains the franchise's signature gameplay mechanics: players are thrown into expansive arenas, tasked with battling hordes of enemies using an impressive arsenal of weapons. From classic shotguns and rocket launchers to more inventive and destructive options, the game keeps players constantly engaged, encouraging strategic weapon and movement choices to survive the onslaught. What sets Serious Sam 2 apart from more conventional shooters is its sheer scale and intensity. The game design embraces excess, with battles featuring dozens, if not hundreds, of foes simultaneously on screen, all vying to overwhelm the player. This relentless action is both thrilling and challenging, demanding quick reflexes and tactical thinking. **Visuals and Humor** Serious Sam 2 presents a vivid, colorful world that contrasts with the grim, dark environments typical of many shooters. Its cartoonish art style and exaggerated character designs add a layer of charm and humor, heightening the game's overall light-hearted tone. This artistic choice not only distinguishes it visually but also complements the game's comedic writing and absurdist narrative. The game doesn’t shy away from embracing its silliness, often breaking the fourth wall and delivering witty one-liners that accentuate its whimsical narrative. From interacting with quirky NPCs to tackling bizarre objectives, the humor is omnipresent, enhancing the overall enjoyment without detracting from the action. **Multiplayer Mayhem** One of the standout features of Serious Sam 2 is its multiplayer mode, allowing players to team up and tackle the campaign cooperatively. This mode amplifies the chaos and fun, as coordinating with friends to manage the enemy onslaught becomes a rewarding experience. The game also offers competitive modes that let players test their skills against each other in fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled matches. **Conclusion** Serious Sam 2 is a nostalgic gem that captures the spirit of arcade shooters with gusto. Its combination of relentless action, distinctive art style, and infectious humor makes it a standout title within the genre. While some modern players might find its lack of narrative depth and simplistic mechanics less appealing, those looking for an unapologetically fun and engaging shooter will find Serious Sam 2 a thoroughly satisfying experience. Whether returning to it for a trip down memory lane or discovering it for the first time, the game's explosive mayhem and jovial charm promise a joyride unlike any other.

Aug. 2024

Serious Sam 2 is an undying classic that still packs a punch, even after all these years. This Quake-like shooter delivers non-stop action, pitting you against hordes of enemies in vast, colorful environments that keep the adrenaline flowing. What makes Serious Sam 2 stand out is its sheer chaos and old-school charm—elements that haven’t lost their appeal. The game’s coop mode, which still works flawlessly, adds another layer of fun, letting you share the mayhem with friends. Whether you’re revisiting it for nostalgia or experiencing it for the first time, Serious Sam 2 remains as enjoyable as ever, proving that some classics never die.
