Serious Sam 3: BFE Dated

Serious Sam 3: BFE Dated

None

Get ready to blow stuff up, spectacularly and with reckless abandon. Serious Sam 3: BFE promises explosive weaponry, over-the-top combat against hordes of enemies, and a sixteen (that’s right, one-six) player co-op mode. There will be so many projectiles zipping around that sensory overload clearly isn’t an issue here, but a feature.

Described by Croteam as an arcade first-person shooter, Serious Same 3: BFE is the latest entry in the series that revitalized such helter-skelter first-person action. The original games, Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter drew raucous applause from both critics and players due to enjoyable weapons, visceral shooting action, and hectic gameplay against aggressive enemies.



Though the sequel, Serious Sam 2, fell sort of flat with a goofier aesthetic and a lack of oomph in its weaponry, the third entry looks to be a return to form. In an age when games typically limit one’s arsenal to two-or-so weapons at any given time, Serious Sam 3: BFE looks to draw on the classics, such as Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, and even newer entries in the over-the-top action field, such as Painkiller.

Serious Sam 3: BFE will be out on PC October 18. Croteam promises a lower price than one would expect. Time to prep your trigger finger.
