    It is a shame that Serious Sam 4 is not able to live up to the series’ legacy. While the franchise has never been associated with particularly groundbreaking or polished titles it has previously been able to offer enjoyable experiences with its own identity and fun gameplay. Serious Sam 4 is too bogged down by questionable design and poor presentation to manage that, and instead feels like a title quickly thrown together with an overnight script than a cohesive product.

If you are reviewing the technical quality of the port, the game lacks; This game has technical issues, for sure. But as a first-time player of the series, this game is ACTUALLY FUN. Yeah the audio gets messed up at times, yes the frame pop-in sucks. Yes, there are better technical showcases for the next-gen console. But if you are into gratuitous destruction with some cheesy humor mixed in, this game is a blast.

    I tend to marvel and appreciate, and at time stand bewildered at today's spectacular games. This one, I get to just grip and rip. Expect a Doom Feel, Duke Nukem Humor, early COD Zombies type hordes.    … Full Review »

I'd advise against playing this one, even on GamePass.… Full Review »
