    Великолепная игра, именно такая, какой она и должна быть, за вычетом багов. Сэм ровно такой же, каким был двадцать лет назад - мясной, немного аляповатый, с глупыми сортирными шутками и тоннами пафоса. Эта игра делалась не для всех, и зайдёт далеко не всем.

Почти наверняка современному зумеру эта игра покажется неинтересной, поскольку тут нет супер графона, нет "Глубокого проработанного сюжета" и прочего, что любит молодое поколение. Зато здесь есть здоровый прямоходящий, мать его, робот! В общем, если Вы фанат первой части, думаю, четвёртая должна Вам понравиться. Если же нет, ну... Эта игра не для всех. Ещё кое что, ставлю десятку игре не потому, что она действительно "О господи, это ШЕДЕВР 10 ИЗ 10", а потому, что в скором времени наверняка налетит множество зумеров, которые попробуют занизить рейтинг игры. Объективная оценка для ценителей Сэма - 7-8 баллов. Для остальных... Да хрен его знает.… Expand

    Unfortunately, it's lacks the awesome enemy corridors from previous iterations, which is what I was looking forward to the most, but it kind of makes up for it by creating even more enemy variety than before, and mixing it up nicely to make the battles slightly different each time. Still, I miss the days of standing at the end of a "hallway" and mowing down thousands of enemies allUnfortunately, it's lacks the awesome enemy corridors from previous iterations, which is what I was looking forward to the most, but it kind of makes up for it by creating even more enemy variety than before, and mixing it up nicely to make the battles slightly different each time. Still, I miss the days of standing at the end of a "hallway" and mowing down thousands of enemies all charging at you. That's not to say the battles aren't big, just not as big as I was hoping for. I assume they did this as a trade off for better graphics, which I'm not certain was a worthwhile trade.

    TLDR: Fun, particularly if you're a Sam Fan, but I'd recommend Serious Sam 3 over this.    … Expand

    a game for fans, in it the drawbacks of the 3rd part slowing down the gameplay are corrected, and the game fully met my expectations, people who love jerks with towers, sorry that there is no grind here. The best part of the series since the second encounter.About optimization, I play on the old rx480 4gb goes to 100+ fps, with quite pleasant graphics.

    The game gives everything that I love this series for. And even more. It's fast, it's fun. A great continuation of a great series. Thanks to Croteam and Devolver!!! It's nice to know that someone still knows how to make great shooters.

    I love the new additions from the environments to the new enemies. The new health bars, gadgets, and S.A.M are received well. The other characters are likable, but can get annoying because of the lack of voice lines during combat. But Sam brings it around with FANTASTIC one-liners that cannot help but bring a smile to my face!

    I hate running backwards! Seriously, this is a huge improvement compared to the previous parts of the series.

    This game is absolute trash, there is not optimization, no graphic. This game has a tons of bugs, terrible melee kills animations, loading textures during cut scenes. Yes this game has a lot of enemies, but they all dumb as hell. I definitely not recommend this game, at least now, wait for a year Croteam will fix all bugs and only after that you can buy it.

    Pretty much what I expected. I'm sorry for the people who expected an EA-like 80€ cashgrab with microtransactions :(

    This is a game that can only be described with the word "Yikes!". The optimisation is bad the gameplay is bad the story, oh the story its atrocious. If you want to experience the feeling that this game gives you for free try pulling your toe nail with a pair of pliers.

    Finally ... 9 years passed and we saw the 4th Sam! (I've been waiting for the game for 7 years)

    The first thing I want to note is the graphics ... Yes, it was a few years old, but my 250MX and Core i3 were able to take the game out on low graphics settings. Personally, I think: "If the picture does not hurt the eye, then it is good." And during battles there is no time to peer into textures and some small objects. If you prefer a beautiful picture to gameplay, then buy better some Call Of Duty 2017-2020 or Battlefield, there is a nice picture. Well, if you want to spoil the heads of the hordes of Mental troops for a couple of evenings - you are welcome.
    Optimization let us down, sometimes out of the blue, empty locations could have microfreezes, the drawing range also leaves much to be desired, thanks for the fact that at least the objects are brightly highlighted and you know what it is and where (although xs, maybe only I have a low drawing range).
    Animations, to put it mildly, are very bad, in places twitchy in cutscenes, when Firebatters receive damage, the animation of damage becomes "T-pose", and Harpies completely disappear after death ... But for the models of enemies, I want to praise the moles, they are made very well and qualitatively (except for Small Arachnoids)
    AI and NPC 50/50, if the stupidity of enemies can still be understood (standing behind a wall, etc.), this is normal, they are not lost, but allies ... can just stupidly hit the wall for a while and then start kicking the enemy , and they are not particularly useful ... although they create an atmosphere of co-op, only with inscriptions that constantly throw out barbs (Kenny, you are just starting to get it ... F)
    The character of the characters is simple and straightforward, Kenny is a funny newbie, Rodrigues is a narcissistic Chico, etc.
    The plot is simple. Nothing to say...
    Music ... Oh yes, Damjan is a genius! He wrote an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack for the game!
    Some locations suffer from gigantism, if they are more filled with opponents, then this is not striking, at maximum settings, they look very good.
    The gameplay is vigorous, for each enemy you need to use a certain weapon, as in the good old. The bonuses in the game were mediocre, I only used KAIF, HEART, Black Hole and Time Capsule, and a couple of times Nerve Gas. The pumping system is done well, though it is not always possible to pump all the skills (I pumped 11) And, to be honest, there are 4 skills that are useless (my personal opinion). By the way, I was amazed that they wrote on Metacritics, I quote: "Leveling points that can be skipped forever" (from the GamerInOnline channel. Video: GAME NEWS Serious Sam 4 is smashed in reviews. Mafia: Definitive Edition is a prodigy. Black Ops Cold War ") I just didn't understand why they wrote it .... They are already scattered in obvious places, and you won't get poorer from 4-5 pieces, I will repeat 11 useful skills to eat ...
    There are many bugs, both visual (if you set the 2nd performance setting to the lowest), sound (sound disappears during firing), and something like "accidentally crawled between the textures and now I can't get out"
    I also want to add Russian localization ... It is terrible, thanks of course for making it, but it would be better if you entrusted it to the guys who know a lot about this. Why don't I like her? Because some phrases were not translated, as well as individual words, some dialogues were not displayed, the phrases of the "Propagandist" were mixed with the dialogues of the Cut-scenes, and the automatic translation is felt.

    In general, I am very pleased with the game. This is certainly not NEXTGEN YEAR GAME 2020 RTX OPEN WORLD, but quite a good game. Also, there is a co-op for 4 people, so .... call your friends and run to crush the skulls of Cleram !!!

    Sam lost the last remains of creativity. The result is an ordinary megalomaniacal action with a charismatic protagonist who faces endless hordes of monsters. Shooting is fun, the rest is dusty gray. [Issue#307]

    Serious Sam remained true to its legacy and therefore is charmingly archaic – which is not a flaw in this case. It’s easy to point out that side missions are uninspired and fail to provide the diversity they were supposed to introduce, or question the quality of graphics and optimization, but it’s not really that important when burying enemies under piles of bullets is so much fun.

    Croteam has yet to surpass its first two Serious Sam games, with Serious Sam 4 basically being one more entry; one that is great fun, but far from an evolution of the series. The flaws are aplenty, although they are rarely very serious (pun not intended), making this fourthquel more disappointing than bad - because, make no mistake, this is very good. Sure, it's not the best Serious Sam game… but still a Serious Sam game. Fans of serious action will understand.
