#SERIOUS SAM 4 CROSS PLATFORM SERIES#
A standalone expansion to Serious Sam 4, the game was released on 25 January 2022 for Windows, and on 6 October 2022 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. but I haven't tried that.Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is a 2022 first-person shooter game developed by Timelock Studio and Croteam, and published by Devolver Digital. (Also, there is Serious Sam Revolution, which also combines TFE and TSE with a new (actually non canon) chapter. It has some "upgrades", like in SS3 some enemies have new attacks (like the Scrapjack can shoot grandes). And there is the (even newer) SS Fusion which combines the First Encounter, Second Encounter and SS3. The first two games (First Encounter, Second Encounter) have HD releases (and the original "Classic" ones). And one might say it's non-canon, but at this point anything can be canon. (Similarly how the DLCs usually take place inbetween the last few levels in the other games.) Kinda, but nope. (Didn't see anyone mention it for some weird reason.) It's also an FPS game like the others (it's also the newest one) and story wise it's kinda between SS4's level 13 and 14. (I mean, it's there, but in the earlier games it's really basic (so if you were to go in chronological order the story would get less and less important).)īut also don't forget to play with Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem.

I personally wouldn't care too much about the story if I were you. Else play both options and grind achievements 2x replaying each game twice at least in Serious and easy modes for serious and clock based fast completion achievements. If you are starting out choose if you want solo games and achievements or Fusion / Revolutions set of achievements and play accordingly.
#SERIOUS SAM 4 CROSS PLATFORM FREE#
These packages automatic come free if you own all classics, HD and SS3 but it feels like an overkill. Fusion allows you to play Both encounters and BFE as one universe matching look and feel but I hate the fact it has same achievements to get all over again. No proper sequel as of now to encounters is made.Ĭlassics Revolution is combination of both classic games recompiled by Croteam''s fans and game testers commu8nity it still work in progress with some fan made extra campaigns, weapons thrown in. The series started with encounters and kept going back in time in retro rewind with every new game, a prequel and thus ahd a paradox of advanced fighting options in past not in present timeline. Buy the whole game pack when on sale at discount.

Rest games are largely ported cross platform non-canon mayhems.

Games include 3 paid DLCs to TSE, SS3 and SS4. Oriiginal encounters still remain benchmark and most fun to play. Because the prequels released later with more gimmicks. yet SS4 and 3 are story starts and have weapons and combat modes, skill trees missing in encounters. Problem is Encounters released first than SS2, 3 and 4 in that order. However Serious Sam 2 patched, fixed at present A GOOD 15 YEARS POST RELEASE is mindless awesome fun to play exploring the alien worlds referenced in mentioned continuity. Serious Sam 2 and Next Encounter can fit anywhere before original Encounters but is largely considered non-canon as of now.and seem more a separate continuity. OK in terms of chronology this is order of continuity!Ĥ] Serious Sam: The First Encounter ->ĥ] Serious Sam: The Second Encounter
