To stay alive you’ll need to collect health pick-ups, which is a bit of a throwback nowadays. Oh yeah, and a lot of the enemies are headless too. You’ll have aliens that rush you and are easier to kill with melee weapons, then you’ll have the aforementioned suicide bombers who run at you with a bomb on each hand, that you’ll need to kill quickly to save your life. The enemies, for the most part, are quite varied. For example, the first weapon you’ll find in the game is a meaty sledgehammer, which you will automatically raise to the skies when an enemy is in the vicinity, meaning a simple tap of the left mouse button (or right trigger if using an Xbox 360 controller, which works perfectly by the way) will bring the hammer down with such furious vengeance that you might lose yourself and think you are playing as Thor, the God of Thunder himself. Serious Sam 3: BFE doesn’t just ape other games though, it brings its own unique style to the table. A double tap of the pistol will take down early enemies and is incredibly satisfying, especially when the suicide bombers are charging at you in hordes and two simple bullets causes a monumental explosion, taking themselves, and everyone around them, out as I said, the combat is very satisfying indeed. The most important thing about a FPS title is how it plays – all the visual fidelity and bombast in the world can’t make up for bad gunplay, and thankfully BFE delivers in spades when it comes to moment-to-moment combat. One of the first things you’ll hear a NPC say is “I’m out here on my birthday? I should be doing blow off a hooker’s ass”, and this pretty much sets the bar for the humour within the game. Serious Sam 3: BFE doesn’t do an awful lot to change this, but what is important to note is that what it does do, it does very, very well.

If you’ve never played a Serious Sam game before, all you really need to know is that they are pretty much crazy, over-the-top, First Person Shooter games with a daft sense of humour, blood and gore, and solid, fun, combat.
