![]() In addition to this, Sam now has a few extra weapons too – many of which really come in handy. But, for a game from 2002, this landscape is astonishing! This probably looks more impressive in-game than it does in this screenshot. You don’t search for keys and you don’t solve that many puzzles. Unlike many other FPS games at the time, the gameplay in the old “Serious Sam” games revolves almost entirely around constant intense combat with large hordes of monsters. If you’ve never played a “Serious Sam” game before, I should probably explain what made this series so unique ( and why it spawned several imitators, like the “Painkiller” games and a whole sub-genre of “Doom” WADs). In other words, it’s probably “fiendishly difficult” by modern standards. This game is also slightly more challenging than the first “Serious Sam” game was.

I should also point out that I’ll be reviewing the classic 2002 version of this game, rather than the modern HD re-release (which probably wouldn’t run on my computer).Īlthough the game is listed as “DRM-Free” on GOG, it might occasionally ask you to put a disc (it doesn’t matter which disc it is) into your DVD drive before it lets you play. I bought a digital download of this game from GOG when it was on sale, back in December. Quite honestly, I’m surprised that it’s taken me this long to review this game – given that I reviewed the previous game in the series last year. ![]() Well, since I’m making my way through the final level of this game at the time of writing, I thought that I’d take a look at “Serious Sam: The Second Encounter” today. ![]()
