The Serious Sam series takes players back to the days of never-ending Doom clones filled with lots of guns, and hordes of tedious enemies. While Doom made its
Serious Sam 4 was released earlier on this year and sadly, it didn’t exactly live up to the hype. It felt rushed, somewhat unifinished and uninspired. Moreover, that game is currently only available on PC and… Stadia, of all systems. Console owners craving for a Serious Sam experience on current-gen platforms have apparently been left out in the cold. At least, that’s what I used to think up until I found out Devolver and Croteam were stealth releasing a neat collection featuring all of...
The Serious Sam Collection undeniably has a lot of content, but the purchase decision will hinge on what fondness you have for it. This is likely an easy buy for the devotees or those who hold nostalgia for it, but as a first timer the flaws inherent in game design, technical performance, and audio design make the experience for me death by a thousand cuts. The Switch has better classic shooters and many well-made homages to them; seek out those before you settle for this.
Serious Sam Collection is two-thirds amazing, but the final third is a real technical mess; Serious Sam 3: BFE is one of the least impressive Switch ports we've ever seen. It's playable, but surely the machine that can push out an acceptable version of Doom can manage this?

Serious Sam is a franchise that’s been around for longer than you might think. I had the opportunity to review the latest entry in the series not too long ago, and suffice it to say – I came away loving it! Now the entire collection has been released and updated to run on modern hardware. Perfect for fans to jump back into these classic games and relive the nostalgia that comes with it. Unfortunately, the overall experience of playing through these old classics wasn’t an enjoyable one. ...
Serious Sam remains the perfect foil to all the self-serious and often toxic shooters that we see today. All three games (and the two DLC expansions) that are contained in this collection are pure, unmitigated fun, and there’s not a single (admittedly high-quality) rendition of Ronald Reagan across any of them. Not coincidentally, while I’ve already deleted that CoD off my hard drive, the Serious Sam Collection will stay on my Switch for quite some time to come. In short bursts – particularly on the commute after a hard day’s work – there’s nothing more cathartic.
