This time around, multiplayer is limited strictly to four player co-op campaign play. Another surprise is the game's multiplayer options, or rather the lack thereof. That doesn't make things difficult, but instead just makes it frustrating. It's not so much that the creatures are difficult, but there's just so many of them. The only thing that makes it stand out, and the reason for the hefty system requirements, is the sheer number of enemies that can be on the screen at a given time. Considering how much the game pushes hardware, it's surprising that it doesn't look better. It's a bit like that "cool kid" showing up at the class reunion still wearing his sunglasses and letterman jacket. The jokes and the attitude haven't changed much in twenty years and it shows. The story isn't the way Serious Sam 4 feels trapped in time. It's almost as if the game assumes players have just forgotten whatever has happened before, which, to be fair, is entirely possible.
Still, it doesn't really feel connected to the rest of the series. In fact, it's pretty much just a wafer-thin way to point players in the direction of enemies and set them loose on the invading hordes.
SERIOUS SAM 4 NUDITY SERIES
Of course, the series has never been one known for its deep plot or engaging story. This is an awkward prequel-ish tale, taking place somewhere between the second and third games. Serious Sam 4 is the first new entry in the main series in a while, and yet it's still feels sort of trapped in time. Serious Sam has shot, blown up, and bludgeoned his place in first-person shooter history for nearly two decades, but the main series has been left on the shelf for almost half that time.
