Can't hear you mom my testosterone level is too high
This is serious manner we are speaking
Aliens mom aliens!

Serious Sam was probably designed as a perfectly well thought out shooter somewhat, but every time someone from Croteam said "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if we-" they would all say yes in unison and then promptly add the most hilarious bullshit you've ever seen in a game.

This game reads like a parody of late 90s first person shooter design. Bullfighting the Kleer skeletons has a nice rhythm to it though

A cherished game from my childhood , Serious Sam is basically just you shooting hordes of monsters while walking through beautiful environments from a long lost civilization (Egypt). And it was surprisingly filled with mystique, awe , history and just pure mayham.

It's a simple game done right.

Extremely loud, stupid and fun. Non-derogatory.

Played it as a kid and really enjoyed it - stupid, violent fun that helped me a lot to release my aggression. As a teenager you sometimes have problems controlling your anger, shooting masses of enemies in Serious Sam definitely helped. I even played it in a kind of mini-Lan with 2 friends at my parents' house, it was great.
