AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Boom.
Loved that game. It was weird and funny and different.
It really has stood the test of time. It's a great shooter
I always thought this was the weakest one. I loved TFE and TSE.
Agreed, though it is still fun, it just isn't as good as the first two.
It's front loaded with boring, slow gameplay, but when it ramps up, it's great. The final level is top shelf stuff.
Better than 3 and 4, in my opinion.
That doesn't say much honestly. Three was a repurposed generic military shooter, four showed potential but fell short (maybe they fixed it since then).
I still play this game.
The only one you need installed now is Classics: Revolution. That's all of 1 and 2 wrapped up. But ... there's no update pending. Last one was 2020.
I guess I'll download the monolithic SS2 and see what's new.
... EDIT ... Oh ya, my bad, the weird numbering. First Encounter, Second Edition ... That's all SS1. This article is about the not-so-great followup.
This game was a fever dream. Played through it in coop with a friend. Given the fact that this game is not what Serious Sam typically is associated with, it really is nice that it received an update like this after all these years. TSE is still my favourite (love the jungle/Aztec themed levels).
