What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this classic FPS for its fun co-op experience and entertaining splitscreen gameplay, especially when playing with friends. However, some note that while the game is enjoyable, setting up splitscreen can be tedious, and it appeals primarily to those looking for casual, action-focused fun rather than a deep or competitive experience.
Another older game, but man this was a lot of fun back then. It’s basically just huge waves of enemies coming at you while you run around with ridiculous guns blowing everything to hell. It’s fast, chaotic, doesn’t take itself seriously, and the co-op made it even better. Simple old school shooter fun.3 found this helpful
be serious
awesome game but needed a 2nd setting so it didnt feel samey by the end of the game great game thou highly recommend!! 7.5/10
comedy & imaginative creatures within
Serious Sam is one of the GOATs of the FPS genre and for a good reason. It's chaotic, huge, over the top and everything you need from a first person shooter, but now - with better textures, lighting, character models and VFX. The gameplay is addicting, each enemy poses a different threat the player has to respond to using the appropiate weapon from their veratile loadout. I wouldn't say it gets repetitive, but it definitely can get a bit frustrating due to an absurd 'same enemy spam' in a few instances. The map is huge and more beautiful than before, but it's still mostly sand and tombs. Both this and the OG version are fantastic in their own ways.
Too Serious. Does get a little repetitive at the end
