this game is a disappointment

[SATAN BLOOD 666]

Im so sorry to say this but this game fells low quality and low effort .Looks and plays like a bargain bin ripoff .Compare the Caco demon glory kill from doom vs how YOU MELEE A GNAR in ss4 vs how u did it in ss3.I was actually excited about this game but it seems to me Croteam didn't want to make it.Damn shame to i liked talos principle .
its a bad joke. no love put in this game when you think about how long it took to make it.This is a 2012 title at best. #BRING BACK THE CREEPY TEMPLES AND HUGE EMPTY LANDSCAPES.

Comparing SS4 to Doom is comparing two vastly different budgets, not saying you can't critique an indie game, but it's something to keep in mind.

That aside, SS4 didn't feel like a low quality game to me, I can understand it's not for everyone but I personally really enjoyed it and from what I hear in the interviews and Croteam posts it certainly has some love poured into it, it's just very different like SS2 was which made that a love/hate title for many as well.

Dude u can compare it to the one in ss3. the game looks crap compared to ss1 and 2 hd in my opinion and im just not a fan of the modern city levels.i played them all this one actually pissed me of cuz im a big fan of the series and i just expected more cuz it took so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long to make.

"Disappointment" is too much. The game is good, pretty enjoyable, but yeah - it have it's problems. At least it helped CT to test their limits and skills, so I expect with the results in mind their next titles to have better visuals and performance, and let's hope will see forgotten features to return in next SS titles. :)

It lacks a bit of polish and has technical flaws but it is a blast to play, has tons of nice views, amazing music, etc. It's just got heart. Overlooking how great it is because of some surface level roughness is pretty narrow-minded.

Yeah, for me first two levels were meh, but when I got to the third one, I got the "true serious sam" feeling, which stayed for the rest of the game. And now I like even the first two levels.

I would say that it was "true serious sam" from start to finish for me. Every Serious Sam game starts out slow-ish and with "normal" enemy numbers. If anything, this game's first level had a few harder and bigger fights than any first level of a SS game before in my memory. So for me "true SS" is starting off relatively normal and then ramping up. Boy does this game ramp up though. In the Citadel and Cathedral where I finally realized the full power of completely upgraded dual-wielding, I think I had a rush the likes of which no previous SS game has reached before.

It's your opinion and i get it. But for me this game is gem in gaming industry. For such a small studio like croteam, they do an awesome job with all Serious Sam titles in overall. Games without ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Season Passes or microtransactions, game moderators like IIIIDANNYIIII answering almost on every problem in steam community ( not like other companies ), developers hearing community what they want or what they need to add in game and most importantly the game is being frequently updated. I know bugs, bad optimization and little outdated graphic is present but in fact core of this game is amazing. Thank you all in CROTEAM for such an awesome game.

Maybe you just need upgrade you're PC,

[that's what she said]

tbh it looks and feels like SS3.5 at best. It's not bad, just a substantial downgrade in some areas, while substantial upgrade in others. And overall lack of polish EVERYWHERE, from visuals to levels and encounters design. Some are great, some suck hard.
The most disappointing thing is deep down there is amazing game buried under it all. Gunplay is rock solid, addition of dual wielding is great fun, damage feedback and gore both great (but blood is a downgrade), levels are big but encounters aren't that greatly designed. Visuals are the same (some levels look great, but still 2010-like great at best) while optimization is terrible, levels with vehicles are underutilized, sound mix is semi-broken, but music is amazing, and there is still ton of bugs on top. No MP, limited coop, no modding, no split screen, broken lighting (indoor areas look somehow way worse than in SS3), and overall lack of attention to details.

When it works - it's amazingly fun. But it rarely does. It feels like ton of great ideas haphazardly thrown together in order to make a product, instead of cutting the fat and polishing gameplay. It's very uneven game, feels like it was released mid-development. They surely need to overhaul it.
