![]() Of course as these games have been created for other platforms first, then coming to Switch is obviously going to require a little bit more understanding of how things are going to work and that's really where these collection comes together and slightly stutters. When you play the first game you can see a lot of inspiration from titles like Doom and Quake perhaps more so the latter, but it still manages to make itself its own and while Sam might have a bit in common with a bubble gum chewing hero from the 90s, he never devolves into a Cro-Magnon style of hero. This isn't about weapon management it isn't about scouring the map to ensure you've got enough ammunition you could want it's about laying waste to hordes of alien invaders and having Sam deliver quippy one liners as he does so. ![]() That is perhaps the best way to describe the games, nothing it does ever takes itself seriously and that's because they knew exactly what type of game they wanted to make with the original. There's a lot of information about hieroglyphics and other earth-based cultures having records of these aliens, but in exact opposite to its name the story, is a means to an end it never takes itself too seriously. The basic gist is that an alien menace has come to earth to conquer it and Sam Stone is a one-man army hell bent unstopping this onslaught. It doesn't matter though because each game stands on their own and while the first two games are not very heavy on story the third game makes up for it, but you also don't have to worry about it. The first two games are very similar in overall tone and gameplay but because they spent a lot of time between the second to the third game, three feels vastly different. The question is, is it a collection that you need to be serious for or was it better left as memories in the past.Īs a collection the game includes the first three games and the respective DLC packs, it is actually offering up a sizable chunk of gaming for your dollar and that's a really impressive thing. ![]() I had the chance to speak with one of the men behind the series before that game released and I asked the question about, would they bring the older games to the modern platforms and then months later wouldn't you know it Serious Sam has come to switch. Serious Sam as a series has never taken itself well too serious, it's always been more about running and gunning than anything else and 2020 saw the 4th mainline iteration of the series hit PC.
