Mit neuer leistungsfähiger Engine und forderndem Gameplay wird Sam erneut die Herzen der Shooter-Fans im Sturm erobern, denn Serious Sam 3 ist Old School-Action im modernsten Kevlar-Gewand. Schauen Sie die die Helpline-Trailer an, um alles zu wissen. Allein, mit Freunden oder gegen sie: Feuer frei!

Features:
  • Rasende Arcade-Style Action – Halten Sie den Abzug gedrückt und verwüsten Sie einen niemals endenden Ansturm von Angreifern oder stellen Sie sich darauf ein, von Mentals brutalen Bestien überrannt zu werden. Keine Möglichkeiten in Deckung zu gehen, kein Verstecken - es gibt nur Sie und die Gegner. Und zwar alle.
  • Furchterregende feindliche Kreaturen – Ein neues Batallion von unvergesslichen Lakaien, wie dem grölenden Scrapjack und dem gewaltigen Khnum treten dem legendären Headless Kamikaze, Gnaar und Siran Werebull bei um die wildeste Konkurrenz zu bilden, die Sie jemals niedermähen durften.
  • Spektakuläre Umwelt – Kämpfen Sie verteilt auf den umfangreichen Schauplätzen des Ägyptens der nahen Zukunft, das unter dem aus sämtlichen Nähten platzenden Chaos leidet. Die zertrümmerten Städte von morgen, aufgereiht mit den Tempeln der antiken Welt werden Ihr zerstörbarer Spielplatz.

  • Brutale Nahkampf-Attacken – Wenn es hart auf hart kommt, muss man die Sache selbst in die Hand nehmen. Reißen Sie das Auge eines Gnaars heraus, schrauben Sie den Kopf des abscheulichen Scrapjack ab oder brechen Sie einem jungen Arachnoid das Genick um sie umgehend zu töten.

Schlechtestes & unpräzisestes Sprungsystem, dass ich je in einem modernen Spiel gesehen habe. Es macht absolut keinen Spaß Secrets aufzustöbern, da man gefühlt 500 mal für einen ziemlich simplen Jump hüpfen muss.

Die Engine scheint da einfach schlampig programmiert worden zu sein.

Basically an Arnold Schwarzenegger simulator. Cheesy one-liners and puns, heavy metal, shooting aliens with big guns and just generally being a badass. If you like arena-style shooters, exotic environments and silly, self-aware humor and don't mind the lack of story and character development, this game is fun as hell. It has some really iconic and weird enemies. You have to be aware of every enemy in the area, you have to know how they work, you need to know what weapon will take out which enemy. This makes for a mindful shooter rather than a mindless shooter. I personally play games for the gameplay and to be challenged in my skills and I definitely found this game challenging, depending on the game mode and difficulty. Although I can see how shooting down hordes of swarming enemies can get repetitive for some people. So it comes down to your personal taste in the end. Also this was my first Serious Sam game, so I don’t know how it compares to the other games in the series.

[h1]In an age where first-person shooters have become first-person thinkers, a game that takes us back to the raw, gory roots of the genre and reminds us why we went all gaga over the concept in the first place is bound to succeed. And it does succeed, despite several rather notable blemishes. Serious Sam 3: BFE will ultimately exhaust its players by virtue of its screen-filling mega-confrontations, its non-stop repetition and the sense that you are almost always mercilessly outgunned.

Sam 3 is good but could have been better. Hopefully others will take up the torch and run with it.

Kill enemies by the droves with several weapons at hand.

Take on Mental's hordes with friends and strangers alike.

Find hidden secrets in every level to your advantage.

If you like the other titles you will love this no doubt.

And if this is your first be prepared for a world of fun.

It's crazy to see game stand the test of time.

I highly recommend this title. It still holds a special place for me.

Serious Sam 3 is a very interesting game if you like the idea of watching individual ideas and concepts having tried and make up a game as the very sluggish development hell chugged along for years without resulting in any full standalone experience.

It all starts off with a very Half-Life 2/Call of Duty-ish mishmash of an open-ish city with tons of platforming and debris for (rather meaningless) secrets with otherwise very narrow corridors.
SS3 then has a change of heart as the Doom 3/Quake 4/PREY games pass it by, including a very timely (read: several years late) inclusion of a (poorly implemented) alien hive. We still have switch puzzles in very open areas with not that many recognisable landmarks, making the very big levels feel very same-y and it's easy to feel lost.
After several hours of this mishmash of conflicting game directions, it realises it's supposed to be a Serious Sam game and then throws everything at you, and I mean EVERYTHING. If your least favourite parts of the First and Second Encounter games were the levels with what feels like endless hordes of werebulls and kleers down corridors, this is all you get for some very very exhausting, unsatisfying and drawn out final few levels.

Outside of the game itself showing its complicated relationship with at-the-time current trends, the game also feels more or less like a tech demo. The graphics are not terrible for its time, but the performance fluctuates all over the place - the main menu is especially bad in regards to performance, as the framerate tanks to about 10-20 on average for no real reason, making it feel very unresponsive.

Speaking of the visuals - I don't feel like anybody actually playtested this game? Explosives will kick up clouds of dust and dirt and it makes it impossible to see past them for a couple of seconds. This is a real problem and actually makes the game really hard to enjoy in harder encounters, as a common enemy, the kamikazes, are an enemy that will chase you and explode on death, making other enemies (or even more kamikazes) hard to see and track outside of sound. This particularly becomes a problem in the last few levels, as the game will spoonfeed you literally endless explosives against borderline endless hordes, which you can not see because the entire crammed hallway they're coming from is now black and brown from particle clouds. It very much feels like they valued raw looks and fancy effects over visibility in a game genre that very much requires high visibility to make informed and good split-second decisions on the fly.

Serious Sam 3: BFE is a playable identity crisis, where nothing ever seems to shine. There are a few good voicelines here and there, the guns look nice and the enemy variety isn't terrible, but it is a drag to play, especially as you get further into it and close to the end (which it more or less fakes out a couple of times when you just want to be done).
There are shreds of good ideas and competency on display, but they're all muddled by puzzling performance issues, visibility problems and generally aimless design. If I didn't know better, I would've said the game feels rushed - trying to cram as many things in as possible and shipping.


tl;dr SS3:BFE is what happens when development hell turns to rushing a game out the door with whatever you have, no matter if it works well or not. There are fragments of a good game in here, but the ugliness of lack of direction, very apparent issues and what feels like a lack of playtesting makes it a frustrating journey through a tech demo chasing trends long past.

I’ve tried. I really have, you have to understand that. I’ve built a whole new appreciation for the Serious Sam series as I’ve run them all back. When it’s good, like in the First and Second Encounters, it’s an absolute blast. And even when it’s middling, like in Serious Sam 2, it’s still entertaining enough to carve out a worthy place among other FPSes. But man, when it’s bad, it’s just the saddest thing. I had hoped that Legend of the Beast, that benighted DLC for TSE, would be the absolute nadir of the series. I’ve tried with Serious Sam 3, I really have. But nearly two hours in, fighting the same boring enemies in the same boring environments with no levity or novelty or end in sight, I just can’t do it anymore. This is barely a Serious Sam game, and the parts that really try to capture that magic are almost worse for how hard they fall on their face.

Have you ever wondered what Sam was up to before he hopped in the Timelock and warped back to ancient Egypt? Of course not, no one cares about the story here, but it does offer an excuse for more Serious action in a new setting. Prior to The First Encounter, the Earth is under siege from Mental’s forces, and Sam “Serious” Stone is on a mission to change the course of the war. A scientist in occupied Cairo has made a discovery that… look, it’s the Timelock, and Sam’s taking a roundabout, blood-soaked path to reach it. There are a few thousand of Mental’s baddies in the way, of course, and the only way through is with bombs, bullets, and snappy one-liners.

It’s not much of a sight-seeing tour, however, and that’s the first place where this fails to feel like a proper Serious Sam game. All the others had majestic setpieces to battle around, whether they be looming pyramids or flying fantasy castles. Serious Sam 3 feels like a victim of the times it was conceived in, a muddy brown shooter that drags you through endless ruined streets and alleyways. The only thing that reminds you you’re not playing a Call of Duty here are the charging Gnaars and Kleers mixed in with the all-too-human looking zombie soldiers. It feels like a huge step down from the opulent halls of Babylon or even the wild-ass planets of Serious Sam 2, to trudge through the same war-torn Middle Eastern city that every military shooter of the time was coughing up.

The action suffers in much the same way, sadly. Plenty of the old cast are here as mentioned, up to and including werebulls and scorpion warriors. But so much of the old Serious Sam formula is forgotten or transformed here, you can hardly go from the classics to this without severe whiplash. Hitscan enemies are far, far more prevalent now, cutting into a lot of the running and gunning that made Serious Sam so frenetic. Battles are not nearly as mixed or dynamic as before, usually pitting you against one or two enemy types in scaled-down quantities. Even by the time the game started throwing long murder corridors of foes at me, it only served to contrast how sad all the lead-up to the big battles was. Bosses show up every few levels, which is a nice touch, except that they’re either meatier versions of regular foes or gimmicks you have to run and hide from in frustrating sequences before getting the weapon you need to quickly bring them down.

Ugh, the weapons. Whoever thought that Serious Sam needed more grounded, realistic weapons should have been stuffed in a cannon. You start this game with a sledgehammer. No guns. A hammer. It’s nearly an entire level before you get a gun, which is a single pistol. And then it’s two more levels before you get a basic shotgun. By the time I tapped out, two hours in, I had just gotten the rocket launcher, the first Serious Sam-esque gun. It’s the same complaint I had with Legend of the Beast; compare this to any other Serious Sam game, and they’ve given you multiple shotguns, machine guns, and explosives within minutes of starting. I absolutely do not play these games to struggle with my arsenal, to stretch weak-ass pistol combat across entire levels. Maybe they wanted players to use the new melee execution system, but seeing the saddest, most janky animations play out over and over as I mindlessly mash the kill key isn’t my idea of a good time either.

Even the exploration suffers here, with your efforts to uncover hidden caches of goodies rewarded with a pile of +1 health pills or a helmet. I found no fun or interesting secrets whatsoever, and when I DID find something cool like a Serious Cannon hidden on a rooftop, I absolutely could not figure out how to get it. It doesn’t help that the dusty streets and rubble piles all look exactly the same, with precious few landmarks to navigate by. There are some puzzles here too, if you can call navigating around annoying auto-cannons to flip their switches a puzzle. The worst part was definitely an alien-infested museum, because this totally could have been an interesting, dynamic environment with multi-level battles and tons of secrets, and instead it’s a completely linear slog through identical halls where you occasionally push a button to rip the carapace off a badly-animated spider.

I’ve learned something important about the Serious Sam series from this game. Originally, when playing through the First and Second Encounters, I thought these games were intended to be a response to shooters of the time. I thought they were rebukes to deeper or more complex FPSes, focusing on wild action and zany secrets. But from 2 and especially 3, I can see how much they’re influenced by their contemporaries. Serious Sam 2 came at a time where bombastic, colorful shooters were in vogue, with lots of locations and vehicles and turret sequences, and that’s what we got. Serious Sam 3 hails from that dark period where FPSes were brown, gritty, and grounded, and it falls completely into that trap. Please, if you’ve read this far, go back and play The Second Encounter to see what this series is supposed to be. It’s been a lot of things, I’m sure it will be many more, but it never should have been Serious Sam 3.

The most enjoyable game of the Serious Sam series. Lots of blood, scary, creatures everywhere, rockets, bullets... If you want to get away from the stress and boredom of real life and come to this world and experience a completely different feeling, download this game. Many thanks to Croteam.

“There are things that are so serious that you can only joke about them.”
~Werner Heisenberg



So, Serious Sam series, huh? It sure has a weird story behind it. It all started in 2001, when a small Croatian team called Croteam (that's a lot of imagination right here... not) released the first Sam game, which was supposed to show off their pride and joy – a game engine they wanted to license to the other developers to use in their projects. Long story short, it didn't work. Nobody cared about the engine, but at the same exact time, the game became a surprise hit. Even though in 2001 we've got quite a lot of great FPS titles (among the others, there were Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Clive Barker's Undying and Aliens Versus Predator 2), Sam sure captured a lot of attention. All because of its simplicity. It was just that – a very simple game, in which you were supposed to run forward and destroy hordes of enemies, which spawned in crowds right in front of you. It was a very basic, yet extremely addicting fun. And mixed with the bright colors, nice visuals and multiplayer, it helped Sam to instantly spawn a franchise. Even the fact that story and design-wise, the game was pretty much a rip-off of popular titles like Duke Nukem and PowerSlave wasn't really a problem. Nobody cared about Sam himself. People just loved shooting hordes of enemies and having fun in multiplayer (even though it was hard to compete with Tribes 2 back then, Sam's multiplayer was really a thing).

The problem was – Croteam didn't really know what to do with the series. They were just some guys, making an “excellent game for radical dudes”. For fun. Then suddenly boom! They're in the big league. And it was like having Bill and Ted in White House. They just didn't know what to do there. Console-oriented spin-offs were a logical thing to do, but it was impossible to milk the first game (and its second chapter called Second Encounter, which was the same exact thing, just with some more ways to show off Serious Engine and its physics) forever. Croteam needed a sequel. And Serious Sam 2 sure showed exactly what was wrong with them. Even though the game itself was kinda playable, the only thing they were able to do there was a lame HALO rip-off with ugly pre-rendered cutscenes and unbearable humor that felt a lot like what we had in Postal III. Fans still enjoyed the game, but it was clear that Croteam needed to do something with their series. To re-think their decisions and make the next big thing for the series to depend on. Well, here it is. Here's our next big thing. Ladies and gentlemen, please, welcome Serious Sam 3: BFE!

And the first thing you'll probably want to know 'bout it is... What the f*ckBFE” stands for? No, it's not “Battle For Earth”. And no, it's not even “Boobs Forever and Ever”. It means “Before the First Encounter”. Which means that it's a prequel. Which... is stupid. I mean, sure, Croteam never had proper writers, but honestly, why being so afraid to at least try telling some sort of a story? Why cowardly hiding behind the original motif (which was aliens in Egypt, like in PowerSlave)? Like I said, it was a stupid decision. Yet again, the story here barely exists and you can just turn off the sound without missing much. Unfortunately to us all, it wasn't the only stupid decision Croteam made.

Let me ask you a question – what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about Serious Sam? I can't speak for everybody, but my guess is: bright colors, hordes of enemies, satisfying / interesting weapons and dull / straightforward levels. Now, look at Serious Sam 3. I guess I won't surprise anyone if I'll say this – Da f*ck did they do with color palette?!. I mean, come on. You can't just take Super Mario Bros. and put 'em into Dark Souls environment. Doesn't work like that. And yet, that's exactly what Croteam did here. They've turned a bright “just for fun” shooter into the real deal. It's not like I've enjoyed those pathetic jokes in Serious Sam 2, but turning Sam into something (way) more... serious? What a joke. What an irony... Sure, the game still tries to be funny now and then, but honestly, it only makes things worse. Just because this game feels like a lame Duke 3D rip-off like never before. What were they thinking?! Seriously, they looked at 2011 lineup (which included games like Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, Brink, F.3.A.R. and the others) and were like “This! Let's compete with all this!”. Remember that Internet meme with monkey, which had a stick in its hands and was about to hit lion with it? That's exactly what the plan here was. I mean... what can go wrong, right? Turning Sam into a generic big league title... good grief...

But OK, the atmosphere was f*cked up. But maybe gameplay is actually good? Well... it's mediocre. It doesn't feel especially bad, but while trying to add proper level design, puzzle elements, keys and the other things from proper FPS games, Sam kinda... lost its original appeal. It's like it lost the exact thing that made it special. And yes, in this exact case, being dumb and straightforward was a good thing. While aiming for proper FPS experience, Croteam just... turned their game into a generic second-grade FPS. Especially since they didn't do a very good job. For example, every time there'll be a closed door, the key to it will be in a trailer. The same exact trailer that was copy / pasted to all the levels with closed doors. In other words, the game feels repetitive and comes with a cheap aftertaste. Same thing with the weapons. Those are fine, but... not nearly as satisfying as what we had before. Even those few guns from previous games that also appear here, don't feel nearly as good as before. The guns in Serious Sam 3 do the job, but like everything else in this game, they feel generic. There's nothing special about them. Nothing overly satisfying.

Even the engine didn't do well this time. Since at this point, Epic totally dominates the market with their Unreal Engine, while for small and poor developers there's always Unity, Croteam just gave up. Seriously, did you even hear about Serious Engine 3? No? Well, there are two reasons for that. First – Serious Engine is not available for licensing anymore. Nobody cared about it even in its best times, while at this point, it was unable to provide anything special or interesting. And that's where our second reason comes in – Serious Engine 3 was only used in HD re-releases of the first and second “encounters”. Serious Sam 3 comes with Serious Engine 3.5, an updated version of the engine and still, there's nothing interesting to say about it. And as the result, it was only used in this game.

So... yeah. I can't say that Serious Sam 3 is completely unplayable or something like that. It's not one of those ultra-crappy FPS games like Chernobyl: Terrorist Attack and it's actually better than Duke Nukem Forever, which came out the same year (again, the irony). And yet, it's one of those games that fail to give you a reason to waste your time on 'em. If you have nothing else to play and it's currently on sale with, like, 90% off? You won't feel that bad playing it. But if you'll compare it with pretty much any other big name from 2011? Serious Sam 3 doesn't stand a chance. Like I said, Croteam didn't really know what to do with their initial success. And instead of pushing into “bullet hell” direction, they've decided to play in a big league. And failed. Dixi.

If you like classic old school FPS type gameplay, you can not go wrong with this game or should I say you can't go wrong with the Serious Sam franchise since it provides that good old classic shooting style with lots of guns to choose from and to use and lots of enemies to face as you face the alien an invasion and your mission is to kill everyone of them and t-bag all of them in order to kick them out from our planet Earth.

Man, I LOVE Serious Sam games. First few levels of campaign are bland and boring. Afterwards game kicks into a higher gear. Serious Sam 3 BFE is an old school FPS with large selection of weapons, hordes of enemies to slain, 16 player co-op and heavy metal music.

This game became so much more engaging and rewarding when I started quick switching between weapons to properly deal with the different enemy types. When you play like this, the higher difficulties feel a lot more balanced.

I'm a big fan of the Serious Sam series. Since a kid I've been playing the games and was very fond of the genre and all. Having played First and Second encounter I really can't help but post a negative review on this game because it was not fun for me.

In my defense, take into account I'm doing this review many years after because I recently purchased the game.

Starting with the setting, it's interesting that they chose North Africa (Egypt) for this, certainly not a bad place at all however I'd have loved to see different locations. You start in destroyed Cairo in the slums and it's not as fun, certainly not something I would choose for Serious Sam. It feels like the developers added some guns, enemies and certain features from the other games but somehow managed to make it so dry in the execution. The game becomes tedious after a while, it's the same enemies appearing over and over in massive waves, not many new weapons, not enough puzzles or tricky stunts like the previous ones had. Instead you literally get those crowds of enemies making it so admittedly boring having to fight through them the whole time. At some point I started saving my game after every wave of so because I didn't want to die and having to redo the whole thing again. I understand that it is supposed to be difficult and challenging but not the entirety of the time.

The story isn't very interesting either, nothing super captivating. Sam is fun with his lines as a character but that's about it. Most of the game is literally Sam trying to leave Egypt but due to unfortunate events he simply can't and it prolongs the story in such a basic flat boring manner. You kind of want it to end.

In terms of graphics, sure, definitely a step up from the other games but optimization wasn't good at all. So many FPS drops if you'd put antialiasing.

I didn't have a good experience with this game. I don't really recommend it. However, feel free to buy it, maybe YOU'd like it or maybe you will spot what made me dislike it myself as a fan of the series. Looking forward to trying out Serious Sam 4.

A solid game, but too many effects and lingering particles that cloud the view!
Also, while the weapons are effective, having to stop sprinting in order to reload sucks. Plus, why the reload mechanic?
Jewel of the Nile is a worthy DLC, raised my hopes for 4.

I always loved Serious Sam for being different, in being very 'serious' and nasty, not just serious.

When Croteam made 'Serious Sam II', I first didn't like the new cartoon optics, but it turned out to be the best, most humorous title in the serious series, which lots of fun moments and cut scenes worth remebering. Only the video quality was rather puny, sadly. But: an abundance of interesting and innovative scenery, ideas, hilarious cut scenes and funny references to game classics!

Well, that was back then.

With BFE Croteam seemed to seriously trying to get 'on par' with other shooters, in terms of FX and 'professionality'.
Now, they're just hardcore serious, nothing more. 'Serious Sam' has lost its special touch, which made the series interesting in the first place. It has pretty much dissolved into serious seriousness, just like any other dull block buster shooter out there. With the typical military BS oozing out of every corner. A seriously sad story, it is.

Just as it mostly happens to many movie series, once they start running down the annoying prequel path, while running out of original ideas, and in desperate hope of stretching the story into even more titles somehow, just to squeeze out some more cash.

The game is rather unique FPS. I had quite fun during campaign but then it happened: the last final mission. I don't believe the developers play tested that shit. Its like slap to the face. Slap which lasts an hour and some more. During many missions you end up in situations where game teleports hordes of enemies all around you but it never gets hopeless. This mission overdid it to a point i give whole game thumbs down.

Seriously, fuck that last mission. The Guardian of Time. There is no way anyone ever played that part and had fun. Fuck that. And yes i finished that mission on unmodified serious difficulty.

When I first played it I thought it was pretty fun, I played on a harder difficulty so it was hard at times but it was still okay. Later levels got a bit more frustrating or just bad and that's when I quit playing.

Now that I am more experienced with boomer shooters I gotta say that this game isn't that good. The game looks pretty bland and not all models and assets match, or it is just completely brown. The gameplay flow is also pretty off, I never got that feeling I would have in other similar shooters where the intensity and difficulty is just right, where levels are well-paced and contain set-pieces that compliment the gameplay.

It just feels like a bunch of huge gauntlets with not much interesting around it except for the occasional in-between level with some gimmick. I know most Serious Sam games can be described like that, but they at least often had better gameplay/gunplay than this.

Another glorious entry in the Serious Sam Franchise although it is flawed

Serious Sam is what you would get if you took the bada$$ery, humor, and pop culture references of Duke Nukem and combined it with the gameplay of Doom. The result is a One Man Army game of epic proportions.

Serious Sam 3: BFE looks and plays beautifully with every weapon looking and sounding great along with being satisfying as hell to use. Most of the levels capture that classic Egyptian aesthetic that is to be expected from a Serious Sam game. The story and characters are passable but that's not what we came here for.

The enemies you face and the weapons you fight them with are either brand new or redesigned versions from previous games (Excluding SS2). I've played The First/Second Encounter religiously since I was a wee lad so seeing some of the enemies in their redesigned form was a little off-putting, ESPECIALLY Gnaars (Which look like gorillas from the fiery place underground). I also like how the devs changed the behavior of larger enemies like Biomechanoids and Arachnoids. Making them more mobile and more dangerous as a result.

The newer enemies aren't bad either. Loved the space monkeys, Scrapjacks were pretty alright, Khnums I thought could have been designed better, but Technopolyps, Witch Brides, and the cloned soldiers can F right off. As for weapons they only added 2, the Devestator is my favorite weapon that they added. It's basically a version of the rocket launcher that fires faster, does more damage, and has more ammo. Along with that we have C4, which is the only good Anti Kleer option now that the Grenade Launcher is no more.

Although I could argue that this game really lacks when it comes to what they decided to leave in and what they took out on terms of mechanics, weapons and enemies from past games. Of the 23 different creative enemies from TFE and TSE (excluding bosses but including different enemy varieties like beheaded bombers) they decided to keep only 10 of them with another 1 being added in the Jewel of the Nile expansion. That's it. Weapons? They took away 3 of the best Anti Kleer options in previous games. This wouldn't be so bad on normal difficulty but on some of the higher difficulties they throw hundreds of Kleer Skeletons at you, and without these 3 weapons it's much harder to deal with them as a result. But the mechanic I wanted to see done better from TSE was powerups, of which there are none in BFE.

TLDR: If you liked The First Encounter, The Second Encounter, or are just discovering the series for the first time this is perfect game to add to your collection. If you don't mind all the differences.

Most of the things repeat throughout the game. Run and shoot all the same mobs (while in SS2, each planet introduces new enemies), go through the maps which are covered by the same yellow dust, even to unlock the door to go the new areas, I need to do the same thing again - find the items (which are scattered in the area). The soundtracks don't leave impression. The only things fun are the weapons. I don't recommend this game.

Review



I only have a few words to say: that is a SERIOUS game!

Seriously, I love the soundtrack, sense of humor and whole atmosphere from the series.

Some say that the third episode isn't as good as the two first ones. I'd say try it and have your fun just as I did.

For achievements hunters



Hours to completion estimated between 40 and 60 hours average. Less if you already know how to play the series on Serious difficulty.
I recommend watching the guides on Steam for secrets.
Some multiplayer achievement can be done solo if you have a controller.

Completed the game less then 6 hours! - Played on XBOX 360 before played on this.

For the price of $56.95 AU i feel is to expensive for the game but i would recommended getting it on a sale if you like Serious Sam!

Look at reviews of the game for more details of what cons/pros are there a pretty good reviews here that would tell good details.

This game is a slog. Most of the new enemies and mechanics introduced into the game serve to bog it down. The helicopters suck for a myriad of reasons (can only use explosives, they bob around and are hard to hit, etc), those psychic monsters only serve to screw with you when other enemies are around and even alone their teleporting makes killing them take too long, the number of hit-scan enemies in large numbers or open areas is irritating, and reloading is a pain. Going over the top is a trademark for Serious Sam, but this feels like a downgrade from the First and Second Encounter. The devastator is a very welcome addition, but for some reason the sniper rifle and laser gun are just not there. I know the laser gun is in secrets, but hiding one of your core gameplay mechanics in a secret is just dumb. Plus, the Serious Bomb would have been so welcome to skip some of the more ridiculous hordes at the end of the game.
Also, those dark areas suck. It's simply disorienting sometimes trying to fight and move in them. The dust is another major problem. I initially dismissed complaints about the dust, but it genuinely makes it hard to see what the hell you're doing. That means I have to move back from the huge dust clouds, which only worsens Serious Sam's problem of feeling like you're always being forced backwards.
I really wish I liked this game more. The graphics (minus the dust and bloom) are very nice, and the sound design is quite good. The weapons also feel slightly more powerful than in First and Second Encounter. I had an easier time killing a single Kleer with a single double shotgun blast here than in those games. If Croteam had chucked the more annoying enemies and the dark areas and kept in some more of the older weapons this could have been a decent update of old Serious Sam. As it stands, if I want to play an HD Serious Sam, I think I will just play Serious Sam HD.

The creative process at the devs:
- Hey, I have a great idea! Lets ....
- Ok, we do it!
- May be it needs some balancing?
- NAAH IT WILL BE FINE!

It wasn't fine....

The game has A LOT of balancing issues.

For expample: How about an enemy that blocks your ability to move? Fun? Lets make it fly. Cool? Lets make it invisible! And Invincible for the majority of the time. And tanky for the other part. How tanky? Well, do you remember the biggest aliens - this tanky. And lets nerf the rocket launcher by slowing the rocket speed. And do you remember the shotgun meme? The one that describes it in video games as water gun after the first 5 feet? That sound good.

Ok, we messed the guns, we hindered the player movement....hmmm....something is missing... Yeah, what about the visibility? Lets make all in the same color pallet, so the enemies are not well seen at a distance. Cool right? Not enough? Ok, lets limit the player visibility by making 30% of the game into complete darkness played with a flashlight. What about the other 70%? Hmmmm, lets make the particle effects be so nice, they block the vision. But only to the player, the enemies see and fire through smoke, dust and particles perfectly. That should be fun!


In all SERIOSNESS, the game is fun, but the gameplay is getting worse after each game. They try new things (which is commendable and is right) but they mess with the core experience. Instead of improving it, it moves downhill. SS2 had a good update recently, that allowed always dualwielding. That improved the game vastly, increasing the rhythm of the engagements. SS3 is the worst in that part thanks to messed up weapons, enemies and visibility.

I still enjoy the game, but its of lower quality from what i wished for.

(To preface, I played this on Serious Sam Fusion, so all my hours are logged there, which is why steam shows no time spent in this game.)

I wish Valve would listen to the thousands of reviews requesting that the black or white recommendation option was expanded into like 3 options, because this is another one of those games where I feel it's really in the grey area. Valve probably won't do something until someone makes a reddit post about it though.

To get straight to the point, I didn't want to play SS3. Like today; I woke up on a Sunday [strike] morning [/strike] afternoon feeling fresh and awake and ready to play some video games.

Well to be honest not really. I woke up then stayed in bed for like half an hour trying to fall back asleep then gave up and ate breakfast then tried to go back to sleep but again, I couldn't.

Anyway I was ready to play some video games. In my mission to go through my backlog, I was currently on SS3 and I'd given it a good 11 hours so far. So that's what I've lined up to play today. But I didn't want to. I sat at my laptop and opened Dota and played a few games then tried to make up my mind on what to play next. I reminded myself that I need to go through my fucking backlog because the thought of having spent quite a bit of money on something that I have literally never used gnaws at me constantly. So, pretty reluctantly, I opened up SS3 and proceeded to finally finish the game. And I had fun, mostly.

So why do I not feel like playing it every time I think about it? I don't fucking know. Well, not certainly at least. I think it's a bunch of factors.

1. While the game was fun for the most part, it was far from par with the other games I had played recently and it really felt like a step down.
2. The game is all brown. I get it's in a desert, and that can't be helped, but it's so bland to look at. The sand is brown, the pyramids are brown, the rocks are brown everything is fucking brown except for like a couple red aliens. And even they're a brownish red.
3. There's no moment of peace in this game. Nearly every single second is spent shooting at something. When a rare minute of respite occurs I'm still on edge looking for aliens in every corner. Now this is very much a personal preference. A lot of people probably thought that this is one of the best things the game. But yeah, not for me.
4. There's very little diversity in this game. Yes, there are like 10 weapons but they're not customizable or anything. And all you do is shoot aliens. That's it. You spend like 15 hours shooting the same aliens with the same guns on what feels like the same map. zzz

But all that said, I can't go on to say that the game is bad. It was still somewhat fun to play and the graphics, despite being dull, were polished. Looking at the game, and playing for the first hour or so, I really felt that this game is gonna be really good. But the game never really got any better. And what was fun at first quickly stopped being novel.

It's an eh from me. If my life depended on deciding 'yes or no, would I recommend it?' I'd have to say no. There are just better things to spend your money on. Not like an acer laptop though because they're fucking trash. Something like a toy for your cat or whatever.

Take what you will from all this, I'm just hoping to describe my experience well enough for it to help you make a decision.

It's a blast from the past in my opinion. I remember watching my older brother play this game in our basement. I built my own Pc 3 days ago and wanted to experience the games he did. I love the serious Sam Games and everyone should play them if they enjoy Fps

Chimera of 2, even 3 Croteam games. The game is incredibly slow to pick up and has a lot of confusing decisions (certain weapons being secret only, iron sights), but it's still pretty good, excellent even toward the end. This game has my favorite environments and music of the entire series.

Before I truly start off, one thing I absolutely need to praise is the aesthetic of the game. Sure it looks like a modern military shooters (of which I dislike), but... it feels so badass. Shooting aliens in the streets of a destroyed town? Duking it out in the dunes with wrecked architecture for cover? That's fucking awesome! It feels and looks so god damn badass, and I love it so much. I just wish that there were more large scale battles like there were in the first few games, because honestly a lot of the battles just feel underwhelming. I also wish there were more large open arenas overall, as at times it feels way too claustrophobic, though don't get me wrong there are a few great battles in there, it just feels like it never reaches it's full potential. Makes me kinda sad, but maybe theres a workshop mod to help this out a bit. Definitely gets a lot of points for the art style.
Reloading is a pretty unneeded (but overall not bad) mechanic. I enjoy the ability to sprint and to ADS. The cave sections to say the least, are pretty lame, but they look a lot better than the cave sections in tfe and tse. The assault rifle/minigun feel like they dont do enough damage (though this is improved in fusion). Environments are a bit drab but very interesting to look at. They kinda go back to the style of tfe later in the game but it's nice when it's there. I like all of the new weapons, especially the devastator. Bossfights (if you can call them that) are either lame, i.e. being forced to shotgun an arachnoid/bio-mech to death, or too easy, like the witchbride. I like the cutscenes a lot more than previous games, it really does add to the story, even if it's not that important.
The addition of hitscan zombies though... yeah, to put it bluntly, they suck. They go down easy though, which is nice. The helicopters and arachnoids can fuck off though.
Some parts feel too frustrating, and a lot of the time your forced to take cover, which is ironic considering the tagline.
I think you should wait for a discount tbh.
Overall 7/10, would buy again.

TL;DR version: Dumb design decisions make this game the weakest in the series so far and immeasurably less enjoyable than previous entries.

Long version: After owning this game since the year it launched, I have finally finished it in time for SS4's recent release. Frankly, it was a soul-crushing experience.

I get how Serious Sam works. I have played through all of the main series up to this one and usually I love the formula. Huge, colourful environments, vast hordes of monsters and an arsenal with all the firepower you need to blast through these challenges. Apart from a few moments of joy, SS3:BFE unfortunately stumbles too often to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Here's a run down of what spoiled this game for me:

- Weapon reloading: Does NOT fit in the Serious Sam formula and adds a lot of clumsiness to the large battles. Have fun taking a few seconds to reload your assault rifle with six kleer skeletons all up in your grill!

- Drab environments: The crumbling present-day Egypt setting looks lifted from any other generic Modern Warfare clone. Gone are the gorgeous vistas of previous games.

- Dust effects: Half the time you can't see the hordes of enemies rushing at you because explosions cause large, completely opaque clouds of dust to rise

- Unbalanced item placement: You will usually be vastly under-resourced. I actually had to run through the last quarter of the penultimate level because the game simply does not provide the ammo you need to blast all the monsters.

- So many hit-scanners!: Way too many enemies use hit-scan weapons and they seem to have extremely long-range, so you spend a lot of time watching your health and armour deplete with little you can do about it. The all-seeing helicopters that fly overhead with their super accurate chainguns can seriously p*ss off!

I wish I liked this game. I finished it out of respect for the series and Croteam, but I'm really hoping these poor design decisions have been addressed in SS4.

While not quite able to match the magic of the first two encounters, SS3:BFE is a very serious game that I can highly recommend. It does have its share of stringent flaws however, and I will try to point them out in this review.

Graphically, the game still looks quite beautiful almost a decade after its initial release. The art direction is very inspired, but the visual diversity is a bit bland. Most of the game takes place in desert ruins, so you'll be seeing a lot of sand and dust, with the occasional oasis or weather change. Particle effects like dust clouds are an absolute pain, as they tend to mask enemies and projectiles. The sound is top notch both in terms of enemy and weapon effects, as well as the blasting soundtrack and voice acting. Divine Providence mandated John Dick as Sam's voice actor, and in my opinion he created one of the most memorable and enduring characters in the genre. His humor may come off as extremely dry or nonsensical, but it is in fact quite clever and can easily go over the player's head, with many pop-culture references or snark poked at other games.

The action follows the series' simple formula: plenty of back-pedaling, circle strafing, dodging and jumping as you avoid projectiles and enemies of all sorts while trying to assess the top threat, switch to the weapon best suited to deal with it and unload. Sam can sprint now and outrun most enemies in the game, and is also deadly in melee when tackling man-sized or staggered enemies. The gunplay is extremely satisfying and both weapons and monsters will mostly be familiar to players acquainted with the series. For newcomers, there's a neat in-game library that stores info regarding monsters, equipment and the mission's objectives. Two major issues that detract from the overall experience are the following:

1. The game tends to be quite stingy with the ammo for the cool weapons, enforcing the habit of saving supplies for a bad day. One should never run out of ammo in a SS game, and I think it would have been better overall for ammo just to be dumped in the player's hands along with a larger number of enemies. Or simply scrap some of the ample shotgun and assault rifle supplies for ammo that is more useful as the game progresses.

2. Surprisingly enough, the AI is quite problematic. All that it would have to do in a game like this is bumrush the player in a straight line, but unfortunately it tends to derp out a lot and get stuck or orbit around Sam inexplicably.

For owners of the Jewel of the Nile DLC, I highly recommend playing the modded version of the game called SS3: Extended. It creates a single grand campaign by meshing the DLC maps at their proper moment in the timeline, it unlocks DLC weapons and enemies for the whole campaign and adds a few old enemies into the mix for more diversity. In my opinion, it's the definitive SS3 experience. Be warned however that the mod will make the final fight significantly tougher. For laptop owners with NVIDIA GPUs, make sure to configure usage of the GPU manually through the card's control panel. Otherwise, the game may not recognize it and default to the integrated GPU, leading to very poor performance.

If you're looking for a very serious fps to offer you some hours of good fun and make you smile, SS3 is without a doubt one of the better choices out there. Just don't expect something that the game has no intention to provide, as the experience is perfectly described by the best tagline of the decade:

No cover. All man.

The only reason to have this game were graphics (if you want realistic graphics that get in the way of gameplay) or mod support. now that the vastly improved ss4 is here, you should only get this one on sale and for mods. The levels are very boring and horribly designed. all the charm of the original encounters and ss2 are gone, and it takes entirely too long to pick up the pace. the pacing is also dogshit

A great game for fans of the Serious Sam series of game, and the shoot-em-up genre in general. Serious Sam 3 is the 4th installment of the official Serious Sam series, but offers quite a different esthetic than the previous games. A lot of the original gameplay elements have been mixed with more 'realistic' style elements popularized by games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it does make the game feel a lot more slow paced, especially during the earlier levels. It is pretty clear that Croteam has opted for a more realistic approach this time, which reflects in the overall graphics and sound as well. The realistic, grimey graphics haven't aged too well over the years though, allthough this doesn't retract from the fun. This game is a blast to play with a friend or two, and offers 20 to 30 hours of content for a single playthrough on the highest difficulty. The game offers enough challenge for casual and hardcore gamers alike, which is a very important point that I find lacking in a lot of modern games. The game becomes a lot better near the second half of the game, when the 'realistic military' aspect is completely dropped for good ol' Serious Sam blasting action. While not being nearly half as colourful as the first three games, Serious Sam 3:BFE is a very nice addition to the series.

While not as colourful as the original Sam games SS3 is still a brilliant Sam game. Awesome music by none other than Damjan, awesome weapons, tons of secrets, it's a damn fun game to play alone or with buddies.

If i had anything to say bad about it it would be the crypt areas with the space monkey things. Never got into those parts but thankfully they're never dragged out.

Recommended for anyone who like classic style FPS like doom, duke nukem and of course classics serious sam

Sorry fellas who already rated this review, but I thought this game was so good it needs a proper review.

SERIOUS SAM 3: BFE

is basically COD on drugs but its not COD. While it does shake up the SS formula with god forbid sprinting, ADS and reloading on some weapons, while also having the generic and not colourful colour palette as literally every shooter from the late 2000s-early 2010s had. However the game in itself is good.

Plot


Imagine playing Serious Sam for the plot lmao. Play it or google it.

Gameplay


As mentioned before, the game has ADS ,reloading and sprinting. This all added to the gameplay formula of Serious Sam: frickton of enemies swarm you in a large arena, shoot them. Or just spam E on any enemy that you can melee. Some allow you to grab their beating heart or head after meleeing them. Some weapons have been changed, some weapons are secret only, and some weapons have been outright replaced. The revolver is now a pistol, and the knife is a sledgehammer. You also have a gauntlet in the later levels that allows you to gib any enemy if it aint too big( as otherwise it wont kill it before needing to cooldown). You also need to find keys to find some doors which are always in the same type of building, you'll know em when you see em.

Graphics


Decent I guess. Though they shouldnt be making my FPS drop, playing it through SS Fusion(which you receive if you buy this) apparently solves that issue.

Multiplayer


More dead than my grandad moving ooooooooooooooon.

Final Verdict


8/10, made we want to moon my house multiple times.

Serious Sam has been the epitome of ridiculously gory and crazy co-op gameplay for pretty much 20 years. The third installment switched the comic-look of previous installments to a realistic looking take on the genre and significantly changed the feel of the series to the better. Even almost ten years after its release, SS3 looks pretty neat and has an exceptional flow to it, especially in co-op.

If you missed out on the series so far, the third game is as good a place as any to dive in. Personally I am looking forward to the 4th game a lot. It has been a long time coming.

This game has some serious performance issues for, what seems to me, no reason. i7 7600k and a 1080ti was struggling to hold 100 fps at 1080p.

Performance aside, the game is/was fantastic. If you can deal with the potential performance issues, this is a great coop shooter.

Nice Nostalgia of this FPS series, mindless game to violently kill aliens of variety with different guns, and plus its a co-op.

Had fun with co-op by muting the in-game music and putting your own or your frnd's choice music (discord or TV), and roam here and there in desert map with loads of enemies spawning.

The Kleers were irritating lot, Kamikaze's sound and screaming was too much to handle many times.

your choice to melee them, hammer them, shoot them or simply blow em up.

I played this one just after i played the 2 and wow. If the 2 was fun with very multiple environments, ennemies, this one is just the same desert with endless ennemies at a point this isn't fun to play. Plus the level where you have to look through a whole area to find 4 key is just boring.

(2 controllers + 2 monitors + 1 roommate + lock-down) * SS3 / $4 on sale = perfect

Seriously, no game seems to support local multiplayer as well. It's probably worth full price for those who can afford it.

Note that Fusion doesn't support split screen over 2 monitors (at least not on Linux). I hope Serious Sam 4 can fill the same local multiplayer niche.

Spent 2-3 hours on the last level slaughtering thousands of bone monsters and dozens of giant demons only to realize that they spawned infinitely.

11/10 would not do it again.

Just like Serious Sam 2, I think this game is underrated. Sometimes people are difficult. They raged that SS2 is too silly and colorful, then they ranted that SS3 is too serious and bland. Croteam really must have straching their heads after that. SS3 is not a masterpiece, sure, but it's great or atleast very good for what it is. As a fan of series I always wanted to see and play in the modern urban setting and this game delivered! I wanted more serious tone and then it delivered too. Sure, it has its flaws when you scratch under the surface, so you can nitpick and criticise some design decisions and mechanics, but overall, as a Serious Sam game it delivers.

8/10

I recommend this hodge podge of finger wrecking BS, although the creators of this game should take a lesson on balancing a game properly.

Here I was on mission 3 I had opened up the speed run access, but decided I wanted to finish up on the secrets. After I cleaned out the gauntlet (you'll know what i'm talking about) It switched to the cut scene before the boss. What kind of glitched out shit is that? So not only am I stuck fighting the enemies I would have fought if I had done the speed run instead of going the long way, I had to fight the fucking boss as well. What sort of shit is that Crotoa crotch rots.

Goddamn ugly game. Mainly because the environments were made for a CoD clone, but then they used them to make this. It's ugly, it's brown, and it's boring. Press S to not die basically. Don't get this, get any other game than this. Get Serious Sam 2, the one with charm and not brown trash.

Despite being old, Serious Sam 3 is perhaps one of the best FPS games I've played. It's fun, there's literally thousands of aliens to kill and the music is great. It's quite long as FPS games generally go. Took me just over 50 hours to complete the base game along with Jewel of the Nile dlc. The only downside is the lack of people playing multiplayer.

Thumbs up from me.

Get guns, blow stuff up, be cliche. Blow more stuff up. Get bigger guns... Story? Ha! You're not here for the story. This is a co-op adventure for sure, to be played with your friends, bought on a 4pack on sale.

The game is interesting and fun. Although mostly game does discriminate minigun people since rocket launcher ammo is more accessible that minigun's. The game offers variety of enemies player has to find which weapon works the best for each enemy type. And that also means that weapon variety is also huge. Often the game will spawn huge amount of enemies at the same time so expect to be in a chaos of which enemy to focus on first. On Serious difficulty a campaign may take around 13-15 hours (Not considering cutsceens) so that's pretty good.
Graphics are decent and personally never encountered a crash or huge FPS drops. The game also provides
Co-Op, Versus, Split Screen, and of course the regular SP campaign.

Its not as engaging as original First and second Encounters. BUT still lot of fun especially Co-op. Survival is also fun. Return to a more realistic Egypt than TFE. Lots of hard new enemies. Nice new weapons. Lots of breakable structures. Last Boss level is kickass too. I just miss good old Serious Bomb, Flame Thrower, Serious Speed, the funky booby trapped secrets, funky secret areas and Rocket Jump. And yeah no sewage level this time. That said I am sure I had posted a review before so why is it asking again a review?

I miss the crazy anti-gravity maps. The anti-gravity mode is only seen in final climax bossfight. The graphics is top notch. Gameplay and action as usual fast and smooth. As usual both the solo and co-op campaigns are same with various difficulty and modes/mods available to make gameplay challenging, fun, insanely hard or a run through picnic. Take your pick. Thats consistent with all Sam games.

The new enemies leave a mixed feeling at expense of many classic ones. I find the venomous spiders more a let down compared to missing Aludran Reptiloids, Fiendian Reptiloid Demon, Cucurbito Pumpkin Heads etc. Khnum introduced as a boss in TSE DLC is not so hard to kill here. The wrist energy lasso is awesome edition though replacing standard chainsaw. But I miss mowing the Kleers / Gnaars with Chainsaw. The level designs just don't feel big and epic enough like original encounters. Maybe needed more enemies and waves smartly placed. Or maybe we expect more bigger levels every new game. The game delivers great cinematic experience and fighting but misses some classic modes, enemies and battles that made it the standard. The Survival levels have 2 brilliant maps Canyon and Desert. Medina and Villa is beatable. Overall have a blast. Play with friends in coops that is usually a run through marathon contest. In original encounters many used rocket jumps to spoil the coop fun for others to end games and run through early. That wont happen here. Most people here don't know the get around shortcuts so well and good.
