After almost a decade of development , Croteam managed to redeem themselves with this masterpiece. We clearly see the difference between the Serious Engine and Unreal Engine , the graphics are arguably better than Serious Sam 4. I am quite disappointed to say this because i spent almost 5000 hours in SS4, but the damage made by how SS$ was released was done.
- The Soundtrack in Talos 2 is amazing , calming and beautiful, Damjan Mravunac did it again.
- The Plot is confusing and complex , but in the end the Story of the New Jerusalem Robots are interesting.
- The Puzzle are really good , it really makes your brain to run at high parameters
- The New Missions and conversations are really amazing.
- The Achievement are well implemented, achieving by how you speak with the other characters.

Overall , Talos Principle 2 is a succes, considering how poor and rushed were the latest Serious Sam games. Croteam really worked hard and gave a product that all puzzle lovers will enjoy playing it , including me. (well, when i have a bad day, and i want to relax by playing something).

Serious Sam is a part of my life and it is without a doubt my favorite game series.
As a player with thousands of hours of gameplay in Campaign mode , i can say that Serious Sam : Revolution is the best option to play the Classic version of the First and Second Encounter.
The reasons of playing the Revolution version are multiple and i will count right here:
- One of the most important reasons is containing both first and second encounter in a single game
- This version has Full HD resolution (1920x1080) and it was optimized for modern PC , along with split screen for multiplayer gameplay with maximum of 4 players.
- Along with Both Encounters , Revolution comes with a new campaign called Bright Island made by the studio Aligator Pit and later optimized by Croteam.
- 3 new weapons were added in the game hidden in the Serious Sam levels (Beam Gun "Ghostbuster which is a laser beam weapon for close-range encounters and can be found in the Alley of the Sphinxes in First Encounter, the Destructive Minelayer , a weapon that launches explosive mine traps which can be triggered by enemies stepping in the mines or by activating the mines which is found in the Land of the Damned in Second Encounter and the CDF-ST-005 Plasmathrower , an energy weapon pretty similar with XL2 Lasergun but with a slower fire rate and it has an alternate fire, it fires powerful plasma shots and it can be found in the Citadel in the Second Encounter.)
- Alligator Pit added Survival mode with 4 levels that can be played solo or in co-op mode.
- 2 new difficulties were added in the game , the Mental difficulty that was added from HD games which is literally Hard difficulty with invisible enemies and ball stretching I am Ugh-Zan difficulty which is Serious difficulty on Steroids with tougher enemies , and enemies that slows and burns the player.
- The introduction of Steam Workshop , that allows the Serious Sam players to make creative and mind-blowing mods and custom levels in order to try something new in the game.
- New enemies were added such as Beheaded-Commando , the Bio-mechanoid Spawner , Bio-mechanoid Dominant (a cannonball throwing freak) , elemental golems and Elder Arachnoid.
- The most significant of the changes is a greatly-expanded versus mode. They added Capture the Flag and Control Zone from Seriously Warped Deathmatch, along with Serious Sam HD's Insta-Kill mode, in order to give versus players a lot more options.
In conclusion , Serious Sam : Revolution is a better way to have fun in the gorgeous classic version of the Serious Sam First and Second Encounter and not that , but trying to play a variety of new custom levels and learning to create mods by using the Serious Editor.

My childhood in a single game. I've waited a long time to appear on steam just to play again Scrapland.
This game is so underrated game , that most of the players probably never heard of it .
Overall , Scrapland is an open-world adventure game with robots.
But if I have to describe it to a modern player , it's a GTA game with robots and In my opinion a MUCH better version of Cyberpunk 2077 made back in 2004.
Scrapland has everything in a open-world game , battles , races , police chasing you , investigations , ships , tuning ships , illegal activities , hacking systems you name it and Scrapland has.
When it comes to say anything about the remastered version , well , I'll call this as a steam release rather than something improved since nothing seems to be different from the original version , maybe the title and the menu text menu fonts was changed and a new song was added in the game.
In conclusion , Scrapland is a very good classic game , of course it's not perfect , bugs may be in game , but just because it's not that popular , it doesn't mean that I will convince players to not play it.
On contrary , i recommend Scrapland with great pleasure to everyone who is interested in playing a different version of GTA with robots.

After so many years of playing/raging/enjoying playing shooter games , Serious Sam : The Second Encounter was by far and in my opinion one of the best boomer shooter games of all time and the best Serious Sam game in the franchise.
There are a LOT to say about Second Encounter (pro/cons) that i can count now so let's get started.
- To South America to Ancient Persia to Medieval Germany , each level is so memorably painful (but in a fun way) s the game gets progressively more attracted to you.
- What differentiates the game from the other shooters , is that it throws everything it has at you and MORE all at ONCE.
(except the first levels in Serious Sam 3 :BFE which is very good but slow and boring in early levels).
So if you want to explain the gameplay to a new modern player , it pretty much feels like DOOM Eternal , but on a LARGER SCALE.
- The game's secret system is by far the best i've seen in my FPS single-player campaign games experience , as they are so creative and memorable (including Easter Eggs secrets) , but let's not talk about the secret traps that Croteam made to punish your curiosity by facing a Slaughter that you are not (Mentally ) prepared to beat AKA "malo trolanja" (little trolling in Croatian) and Croteam KNOWS THAT.
- Serious Sam : The Second Encounter gives you a huge arsenal of weapons , which in my opinion is situational
from the Double Barrel "Coach" shotgun (which if I describe it , it's a beefy monster that perma-bans everyone in an up close and personal range) to a litterally SBC Cannon (i think is named Seriously Big Cannon that one shot everything except bosses and Reptiloid Highlander) , but also includes 3 new weapons , (the godsend) Sniper Rifle , a freakin' chainsaw (LOOK MA , I'M A LUMBERJACK!) and by far the most effective Flamethrower in the FPS history , if you ask me.
- About cons , hmmm , there's not much to talk about other that sometimes the game has some bugs , and the AI of the enemies is not that accurate but other than these , the game rocks you at the best.
So , as a conclusion to all things i've said : If you are a real gamer and you are up for a challenge , go ahead.
I've beaten the Game on Serious difficulty more times that i can count , so what's your excuse ? But for real you need to experience it at least once , as there are no other games like this masterpiece.

First things first .
Serious Sam : Siberian Mayhem is a standalone game so it is like a separate DLC from SS4 in a different game.
After a few hours of playing i found the DLC much more attractive and even better than the actual Sam 4 game.
- The engine seems a little upgraded here than Sam 4 but it works basically the same in terms of gameplay.
- The addition of new Effects with conditions like beating the game on Serious difficulty is really good because your effort will be later rewarded.
- The new weapons and NPCs are great. It fits the special Russian Theme that SM has in the game.
- The Level Designs are much improved and full of secrets and traps which i totally love them.
- The new vehicles and gadgets are amazing and looks pretty devastating in level of destructive power.
In conclusion , the new Timelock Studio made an amazing job alongside Croteam i hope to become a better community and develop new content for the BIG Serious Sam Community.

As far as I can tell and also as a big Five Nights as Freddy's fan , Security Breach is a great game.
It pretty much has everything that needs in a Free-Roam Horror Game in 2021.
Pros :
- The contrasts and graphics are good and it has no problems in gameplay.
- The animations of the animatronics are well made and it makes the game enjoyable.
- Intense atmosphere when walking and hiding from the animatronics.
- An even more friendly and funny face of Freddy himself when it will help you ANYTIME.
- Multiple endings that can reveal more secrets about the lore of the game/enemies.
- A HUGE environment that can be explored through the nights.
Cons :
- There might be bugs that can break the game.
- The AI on some of the animatronics is weird like Security Bots , it' understandable.
- If the game is running on a low PC / Graphic Card , when using the Fazwatch , the cameras will lag so bad , that it can crash the game.
- The Collected Maps of the Pizzaplex are pretty much useless , because it doesn't show collectibles unless you memorize the locations or use Freddy with Roxanne Wolf's Vision Upgrade.
- The No Save mechanic after reaching 6 AM is very stressful since it's IMPERATIVE to not die when trying to discover different endings.

With these things in mind i'll say that FNAF Security Breach it's a great succes from Steel Wool Studios and it was worth waiting 2 years to be released and waiting for the new DLC and improvements.

Well , when it comes to describing Serious Sam 4 , the game is pretty good , fun and challenging game. I have played SS4 on Serious Difficulty and it is harder than I expected. Also I enjoyed the game so much , but somehow I am pretty dissapointed that this game is too powerful for my 3 year old laptop .
-There are indeed issues in graphics and some in sound and voice issues too , not that so bad but , bad enough to ask Croteam to fix them in near future.
-The new gadgets are pretty interesting when it comes to Game new Mechanics and it works with something new and refreshing for a 2020 Serious Sam game
-The Game comes with LOTS of enemies , HUGE maps and EXTREME weapons (Such as Minigun which sounds NICE , SBC Cannon with DESTRUCTION potential and Sci-fi "Mumbo-Jumbo" Laser with the DEATH RAY)
-The Bosses Looks good and i liked the Design , such as my Favorite ones (Megalopolyp and Ugh-Zan VI)
In other words , The game is good and i recommend for FPS Games , as much for Serious Sam enthusiasts .

This Mini-Game was actually fun and good for announcing the Big Games Such as Serious Sam 4 or Shadow Warrior.
Good One Devolver !

Serious Sam 2 is indeed my very first experience in This Franchise back when i was just a child.
This game is not as good as any other Serious Sam Games , but i don't understand why it is so underrated and not appreciated. I mean Sam 2 is a long game with lots and i mean LOTS of levels , that's why I think many people find it boring , but let me tell you something about Serious Sam 2 :
1. Serious Sam 2 has a good graphics , a little bit cartoonish and the community somehow dislikes it , but for me is a good one , considering that the game was developed back in 2005 , which it was a good upgrade of the Serious Engine after the Xbox version of the First game and the Next Encounter from 2004.
2. The cutscenes from the Serious Sam 2 has a lot of Fun and I personally enjoy the Comedy of Sam's voice acting (John J. ♥♥♥♥) and Croteam had a big budget to create a better view of the game and they struggled to make something refreshing.
3. The Music is pretty good and I love every last one of them , that's why I respect Damjan Mravunac for making cool rock songs.
For these very reasons i recommend to play the game and even try to enjoy the game and watch the cutscenes , maybe that will change your opinion and the experience of the game.
As one of the Best Serious Sam Best Campaign Players this will help you the see the other aspects of Serious Sam 2 .
