Sure, the first two episodes-Serious Sam: The First and Second Encounter-were groundbreaking love letters to old school shooters. While the last decade hasn’t been nearly as cruel to Sam fans as it has to the perpetually abused Duke Nukem faithful, it hasn’t been all roses and chainguns either. Sam 3 BFE is here to capitalize on that potential and to demonstrate in no uncertain terms that Croteam is once again at the top of their game. Croteam teased us with HD remakes of the first two Sam episodes back in 2009, and we could all see the potential in their new Serious Engine 3.
After the crippling we-hope-it-might-just-be-decent disappointment of Duke Nukem Forever last summer, Sam 3 is here to remind everyone just how good old fashioned guns and guts can be. For fans of the series and retro shooter enthusiasts in general, Serious Sam 3 is THE game we’ve been waiting for.
SERIOUS SAM 3 DIFFICULTY LICENSE
It was only after fending off an alien mothership 12 city blocks across and its accompanying horde of endlessly spawning enemies, surviving the battle with literally five health points left, and then hopping into a car with the license plate “SAM 4 EVR” and heading off to C4 the Sphinx into the next dimension that I truly felt I was home again.
I’d acquired a decent arsenal and had splattered some modestly sized herds of enemies, but the old Serious Sam magic just hadn’t shown up yet.
A few levels into Serious Sam 3: BFE, I admit that I wasn’t really feeling it yet.
