    Serious Sam 4 is an okay game, but like the previous games, Croteam can't do decent level design in this game, they add multiple enemy gauntlets in single levels that last ages, which I'm sure is a crafty way to try and drag out the longevity of the level. I'm currently playing this game, but I seriously can't play more than one level per sitting, cause again, it's an okay game thatSerious Sam 4 is an okay game, but like the previous games, Croteam can't do decent level design in this game, they add multiple enemy gauntlets in single levels that last ages, which I'm sure is a crafty way to try and drag out the longevity of the level.

    This is a Serious Sam game. What exactly are you looking for? A serious tactical shooter where you need to think about how to approach a problem? Eliminating specific enemies before others, the most dangerous ones then handle the swam of little guys? Erm no.

    This game is is shoot first, then shoot some more, and when you're finished shooting, shoot some more. There's no cover, don't need    This is a Serious Sam game.

    This game is is shoot first, then shoot some more, and when you're finished shooting, shoot some more. There's no cover, don't need it. There's no tactical knowledge needed, just shoot them. And that is the game on a nutshell, and it does it well. But, that's all it is really. Really fun, good coop and as usual FOR a Sam game, this is comically bad writing, it's supposed to be bad by the way. He's a man child making jokes from the first cinematic. Play it, have a laugh and a good time. Enjoy it...    … Expand

    Finished this game in one run and found it was absolutely dreadful, the game was full of bugs and frame drops. the game brings nothing new to the genre and feels like it's attempting to ride off the coattails of actual good first person shooters. I'd advise against playing this one, even on GamePass.

    A lot of reviews I've seen for this game are previous players of the series, expecting a perfect port. 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.

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.    … Expand

    Serious Sam 4 is a title that fails to live up to its own madness. With potential for crazy and wacky scenarios, this could have been phenomenal. Sadly, however, it's dull, tiresome, and mundane. It's lacking in most departments and will leave you wanting.

    You know exactly what you're getting with a Serious Sam game, and Serious Sam 4 is no different. Issues aside, fans of the series should still have a blast with this one.

    Serious Sam is back with a new game that is as fun as the previous entries but fails in the technical aspects.
