Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem (PC)

Finished Normal in one sitting. This is what SS4 should've been. Taking advantage of the updated engine and graphics whilst giving it the charm from The First and Second Encounter instead of trying to be as obnoxious as possible. Elements that made SS4 terrible are gone in favor of the classical run and gun this series is known for. Its a shame there are only 5 levels however the third level took well over 2 hours for me as it is essentially a road trip from the highest snow mountain to the grasslands below, a journey spanning 2 vehicle sequences and alot of sightseeing as well as 25+ secrets had me taking my time and just admiring the design of it all.

Also love the final part where you get to fight the bad guy from SS4 who in that game was taken care of in a cutscene which wasn't at all expected because as this game explains in the ending, this expansion actually takes place in an alternate timeline---a very good excuse to set up this boss fight honestly. It was sorely needed after the disappointment that was the final boss of SS4.

These guys should be in the dev team for SS5. Or they should just make more of these Standalone Expansions. Its awesome!
