Good continuation of FMF seies, but with some problems. The artstyle is great still, levels are more expended and complex, nice variety of locations, OST is also very good, gonna buy it later. Now, about the problems. The caracter now feels less powerfull, in the first game you have whole 4 unique abilities+whole skill tree with lots of passive skills. Here, in the second game, the new upgrade system is very limited, you only has total 3 slots for active and passive skills, so basically you may choose all 3 slots for passive skills and Dark Tome(local power-up) become just useless mechanic, since you don't use active skill. Weapons are punchy and look interesting enough, sadly, now there is reload mechanic.
The diffuculty here feels weird, the normal difficulty plays like hard, slow caracter speed and limitation in skill system makes game unnessesary hard.
Another bad dicision was adding these stupid clocks all over levels, which are required to find if you want 100% level, since this is a boomer-shooter you likely want to do it, but clocks are not easy to be found+not all levels has backtracking to all in-level areas, so there is good chance of skipping some clock(s) and therefore you got to replay a level. For this reason I keep a guide opened and check if I missed some stupid clock, although I've completed game several times and still may forget all locations of clocks.
All in all, it's still a very good game, hope that during FMF 3 development, devs are going to look back on the first game more than on the second one, in terms of skills system and there'll be no clocks to 100% the game!
Oh yeah, almost forgot, the performance is weird, my specs are clearly higher than recommended, but FPS may drop from 140 to 60 in some areas, even not so crazy looking(like basement level) and changing settings does not help much.

Great boomer-shooter, beautiful artstyle, game feels and plays smooth, cool skill tree and weapon arsenal. Liked music a lot, it's just my kind of jam. I don't have many words for this game, it's really good, just go check it out by yourself.

Consort is fixed when everyone and their family finished DLC, cool, now fix the performance

Sooo here we got another Serious Sam title and this is always some kind of a feast. This time gameplay is superior in comparasing with SS4, but there is a catch. The biggest complain was awful optimization, which I believe became better in SM, but still very bad. Constant drops from 80+ to 30 no matter while in-fight or while stayin in-door area in peace. (lowest preset on rx 570) Should give Timelock Studio credit, they made fantastic job with combat. I really hope, that fixes can help and this game will not be abondoned with bad perfomance like in SS4's case. Last time i was very dissapointed with SS4 and gave negative review, but this time Im gonna be more positive, but only with hope for brighter furure of SS series, where it is not going to suffer from terrible perfomance. Peace.

Well, this game is pretty awesome. I liked a lot ambience, story, music and combat. But the main issue is tech side. Game is poorly otimized and cannot even run well on modern sistems (especially on AMD) which is shame. I really hope that Machine Games will release some patch fixin problen or even kind of remaster on id Tech 6. All in all New Order left good impressions with some sad moments of laggin AF.

I have to say that I am huge fan of Serious Sam series, but this time Croteam disappointed me personally.
All 9 years of waiting and hoping ended up unoptimized game with long loading screens and boring level design.
The only really good things in SS4 are:
1. Music (Damjan kills it as always)
2. Weapon impact
3. Enemy design
All in all this chapter may be not THAT terrible, but dissapointing for sure...

F**k bed of chaos...

Both encounters in one package with long loading screens and bad optimization in Bright Island campaign

Играл в оригинальную часть на пиратке, все было супер, игра лучшая 12\10. Решил взять лицензию с ремастером, не работает ни оригинал, ни ремастер 99\10
