Serious Sam 3: BFE - A Nostalgic Shooter Adventure! 🎮💥
I’ve been a fan of Serious Sam since 2002, and I’ve played the earlier versions countless times! ❤️ I have a deep affection for this series, and I’m really excited about Serious Sam 3. Even though I bought it a while ago, I plan to dive into it with Pouria this year and see if we can finish it together! 🤗🚀
The game brings back the classic blend of fast-paced action and chaotic gameplay that the series is known for. The graphics have seen significant improvements compared to earlier titles, making the experience even more enjoyable. 🌟 The environments, set in ancient Egypt, are beautifully designed, adding a layer of immersion to the already intense gameplay. 🏺🌄
One of the things I love about Serious Sam 3 is its over-the-top action and diverse array of enemies. You’ll find yourself battling hordes of bizarre creatures while wielding an impressive arsenal of weapons. 💣🔫 The thrill of fighting against waves of enemies keeps the adrenaline pumping!
However, with my busy schedule lately, I feel like I'm drifting away from my beloved Sam. 😔 I hope to carve out some time soon to reconnect with this fantastic game and enjoy the wild ride it offers.
If you’re a fan of frantic first-person shooters that don’t take themselves too seriously, Serious Sam 3: BFE is definitely worth your time! 🎉

These days, I'm looking forward to playing with Pouria and seeing if we can complete the game together! Let’s see if we can make it happen! 🌟👾

Do you plan to have weapons in your weapons game?
Having to reload every few seconds is a PITA, but running canceling reloading is just insane!
Serious Sam 3 is basically take everything that made Serious Sam 1 fun and reverse it.
And changing the in-game resolution also changes my desktop resolution! WTF?!?

Too much hitscan, not enough health. Serious Sam HD 1st and 2nd Encounter is much better.

A serious package of action! Seriously recommended for anybody who wants to turn their brains off for a while and let the alien scum have it! However, if you want a bigger meaning and an epic story then you should avoid this game like a plague. This kind of humor just isn't for everyone. But if it indeed is for you, then you should also try the DLC (downloadable content) Jewel of The Nile.

Serious Sam 2 was better... The Devs should play less CoD and remember what a boomer shooter should be like.
Level Design: Pretty Shit, ungodly amount of dark tunnels with the smallest flashlight. Only beige sandy levels or dark tunnels with almost no light
Weapon Design: More time spent with reloading then shooting, not enough ammo to get anything done.
Boss Design: Pretty boring design overall.

It was a game that killed the whole spirit of the second game. If the game was good, I wouldn't mind it, but the game is not as good as the second game. 5.5/10

This was such a relief after playing SS2, which wasn't really that bad.. but SS3 feels like the true successor to the original and the second encounter.
They calmed down on the traps, but there're still bunch of secrets to find. Gunplay is back to its former glory with refreshed weapons and a bunch of interesting enemies. Excellent pacing and it's really fun and satisfying to blast hundreds of those headless rocket freaks, no matter what weapon you use.
Wicked music!
Later fights require finesse and some knowledge of what weapons are most effective in various situations. I ran out of ammo frequently, but that's probably on me for being a bit careless with my shots.
Bunch of interesting enemies! Except maybe the space monkeys. They are fun at first, but I quickly tired of them. And maybe the flying tentacle demon lady, she's like a forced slow kill, but luckily you don't meet too many.
I almost rage quit during the gasoline fetching map, because I was rushing to gather all the gasoline before being overrun by enemies. After getting seriously angry, I realised that each time I pick up a can, more enemies spawn. Take your time, there's like 1 spot with endless enemies in the entire game, you don't have to rush anything.
After finishing both campaigns, I'm left wanting MORE.
