Serious Sam Classics: Revolution

Revolution combines The First Encounter and The Second Encounter into one package and adds the Bright Island campaign on top. However, one thing that sets Revolution apart from the others is its development history. The game originally started as a project by a fan team called Alligator Pit, made up of Serious Sam fans. However, the project was put on hold for a while during development. Later, Croteam took over the project, completed the development, and prepared the game for release. If you already own TFE or TSE, you can get Revolution for free through Steam. Unlike most companies nowadays, Croteam isn't greedy and doesn't try to sell you the same game over and over again. At first, I thought Bright Island was just a few extra levels, but I was surprised when I realized that it was a completely new campaign. There aren't as many levels as in TFE and TSE, but the levels are longer, so the campaign still feels quite large. New levels, enemies, weapons, and music have been added. The enemies are modified versions of old enemies or combinations of them, but they still add some variety to the fights. Basically, they're like our old friends with a little makeup.

Very Nice Game

The comedy work, largely thanks to voice acting. Guns are a bit mediocre (especially so in the First Encounter, SE adds several that answer most issues). The music is excellent, and skies are still as impressive as they would be back in the day. Enemy design is largely fine, but encounter design is very much not (especially so in the First Encounter, where half the enemies are ambush spawns). Due to this approach to encounter design, it is best to play the game on easier difficulty first, and then repeat on a higher one if you find the gameplay loop fun. Most of these moments are best experienced without having to continuously repeat them. Most of the time the game locks the door behind you, preventing you from picking up the items later - and while pickups are occasionally abundant, the carrying capacity (on Normal) is too low to enjoy the game without constantly worrying about wasting ammo.

Definitely recommend for Serious Sam fans and those who are just discovering this series, as it's the first two games (The First and the Second Encounters) in one, along with some expansions and, the most important, diverse workshop mod support. It's just another way to play one of the greatest shooters on the market
