Of course, when you die and die and restart your save a few times, you start hearing those quips at the same time every time and that ruins the magic. It's a cute moment in the midst of gunning down legions of enemies and Serious Sam 4 finds ways to keep layering in dumb referential jokes and stale one-liners at just the right time that I was willing to give them a pass for at least trying to lighten up the mood. With a new rookie named Kenny that's eager to join the fight, Sam's posse tries to teach the new guy the ropes about the proper etiquette of the How, When and Why to drop one lined zingers after defeating an enemy. That's certainly not how things work for Sam Stone and his hodgepodge Earth Defense Force. In Serious Sam's typical fashion, it's about killing as much as you can and spitting out cocky one-liners at just the right time.Īs first-person shooter heroes evolved, most dropped the one-liners and quips to instead take up the mantle of something regarding a serious story. As Sam Stone, you're given a knife, a pistol with an unlimited ammo supply, and sent on your way to go fulfill the most standard checklist of FPS tasks to propel the story along. After that opening act, the game rewinds time and sends the clock back less than a week to explore the events leading up to that climactic battle.
No, you're just given a big gun and told to start blasting as your first introduction to Serious Sam 4. This introductory mission gives players a feel for the action right away without having to wade through story exposition, found notes, audiologs, or any of that modern FPS nonsense. Serious Sam 4 opens in the midst of an alien invasion on planet Earth, dropping thousands of enemies in a definitive assault meant to squash out any human resistance in one fell swoop.
Set in the idyllic backdrop of Western Europe, from Rome to France and beyond, it's up to one member of the Earth Defense Force to save their mother Earth from a massive alien attack in Serious Sam 4. It's been nearly nine years since gamers last stepped into the stressed jeans of one Sam Stone, the titular Serious badass of the series.
