being the direct sequel expansion to the first encounter, this game changes things up mainly for the better. there's some weapons that deal with some problems you could have trouble with in the first campaign, there's some new enemies that were pretty cool, and the three new level themes are unique. the main gripe i have with this game through is how long the levels are, since they usually take about 30-45 minutes to beat. if you don't mind that though, i'd say this is another good game to kill some time playing

This game was a huge part of my childhood—pure nostalgia! The levels are top-tier, and the graphics still hold up surprisingly well. I’d seriously recommend it to everyone. The music from the last level is so good that I still listen to it to this day. The charging lumberjack and the change-up from the first encounter really add excitement to the second encounter. Worth every penny!

This is the second half of Serious Sam 1. Compared to the First Encounter, this has more environments, more enemy types, more weapons, more gimmicks and new powerups. Once you know how to use the new weapons, this game becomes much easier than the first one. You could say it is more fair/balanced. There is an HD version of this game which looks better but lacks a few gravity gimmick rooms, and the sounds are changed.
