It does have some flaws but it's still a pretty good Serious Sam experience. It's pretty fun and very replayable.

If you player Serious Sam 1 & 2 back in the days, it is probably a good idea to pick this one up whenever it is on rebate. However, I can't say that the game is very good, not in 2024 at least. 1- It gets repetitive quickly. Les than 25 different enemy types, counting bosses, and with the DLCs. No power-up or skill tree. Just a secondary function with some weapons, that's it. It's as simple as it gets, really. 2- Level design is... barely average overall. There are secrets rooms but you probably won't bother finding everything. 3- Some of the fights are tedious a bit. I regret playing this on a harder difficulty setting. My recommendation is to play normal difficulty and zip through. It's not worth putting much efforts. There isn't much of a story anyways. The humour makes it more tolerable or it would just be boring. But for 10$ including DLCs... I really can't complain. It's not a bad game, it just feels dated by modern standards.

Do I recommend Serious Sam 3? Does a bear ♥♥♥♥ in the woods with a rocket launcher and minigun? No. But Serious Sam does. Sam 3 takes the SS formula and adds things like more enemies and more graphics and stuff. Also the workshop and mod scene are A+. If you don't own this you better not be on my Steam friends list.
