Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter

a fantastic HD remake highly recommend

This series is just mindless shooting monsters and that all happens in a very fast pace.
I have to say that this whole "Serious Sam" series has aged pretty good.
The first games are still just as much fun as the day they where released.
If you have not yet, get this game! Try it!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

LOOK AT THE VASCULARITY... AHHHHHHH

did this cunt just go “now it’s serious”

Just run and gun. A good game to de-stress after work.

A Classic! Very entertaining! Never boring!
A huge big up!

It wouldn't start playing when I downloaded it from Steam, but I put DirectX9 on my computer and now it starts good. Tons of action and very playable.

Classic

good game

"Its not the size that matters, its how you use it"

Great remaster of the 1st game, definitely recommend it.

It's not fun spamming a bunch of enemies, and it's worse when you can't get your life up from 50%.

It becomes repetitive just for the fact that you need to save and load like 15 times per battle just to survive the next one doing the exact same thing

And the scenarios are very repetitive and boring making the game not enjoyable at all

Serious Sam ... The only serious here is the name of the Protagonist. A fast Paced Arcade Shooter which back than shined through extremely huge levels and thousands of enemies. Nowadays it still is fun but after a while it starts to get dull and overstays its welcome in one setting.

Still. No reason not to like the remastered classic. If it starts to get annoying stop for today and come back another time. Next time it will be fun again.

I was glad to go back to the time when I was a child playing and enjoying the game with the word "Egypt" written on the disk with a marker.

i'm not (and never was) into serious sam, it's actually a very interesting and fun shooter!
some enemies remind me of quake ALOT, and the combat is challenging and engaging.
weapon design is pretty cool too.
i love the "bestiary" and the descriptions on map locations and what-not. its there to show you dialogue and i guess lore?
its nice if you are interested/patient to read all of it, and it also give tips about weapons and how to deal with enemies too.
in a short, TLDR form: yes, its worth it and yes its FUN

Doom is a SS clone

I don't like it but I can absolutely see how others might. Very punishing with the amount of enemies they throw at you and the amount of damage they do on the Serious difficulty, but even more punishing is the extremely limited amount of health they give you on the map

Really 90% of the reason behind my refund and negative review is literally being too lazy to constantly quicksave, with the limited amount of health pickups if you don't do the easy fights perfectly without getting hit you won't be able to survive fights with the bullshit enemies where it's literally impossible to avoid being hit at least once

mal yunus

thought it would be like the old SS... but nope.. just stupid (seemingly like a lot of games these days!)

Game is good, little bit borring, too hard sometimes (on Serious difficult). I recommend this to buy only if you got at least 2 friends who got this game either.
They removed most colors from original textures, now this more like "Orange FPS". But people not playing this anymore, just like TSE and BFE, i also got Fusion, maybe there i will find alive online, but not sure yet.
By the way, i bought pack which contains HD TFE and HD TSE for 0,80$, and for ~20 hours of gameplay it good price.
