It's Serious Sam 3: 2, and that's all I was expecting

It's Serious Sam 3: 2, and that's all I was expecting. They took Serious Sam 3, made the art style just a tad more vibrant and colorful like the old style, and then completely revamped the combat to make an excellent FPS. Serious Sam 4 is perhaps the best the series has ever felt in terms of combat. Every single weapon is punch, now projectile based, and sounds better than crumpled up paper, which used to be common for SS games. Regarding the NPCs, they are not with you constantly, just some missions. Otherwise, missions will play out exactly like a classic SS game. You are alone in old ruin place and get swarmed by enemies alone the whole level. As for the story... it's... alright? It's not good, that's for sure, but it's more like a hammy B-move type thing where they are very clearly self-aware of how stupid it is. If you take it seriously and expect it to be good, then you're probably an idiot yourself. Performance and bugs I will bundle together because I have not experience a single bug or performance hitch in the first 3 hours of the game. I'm on an RTX 2060 Super and Ryzen 5 3600X at 1440p w/ 16gb of ram, and it runs phenomenally at 60fps custom High-Ultra settings. Mileage may vary, as apparently people with better systems are experiencing hitching. Do I recommend the game? Absolutely. This is likely to be one of, if not my favorite SS game besides TFE. Just keep in mind that it could be buggy for YOU, in which case, I suggest waiting. Else, just take the gamble and utilize your 2 hour time frame,

So I wanted to start this review off with a few things to mention while reading:

So I wanted to start this review off with a few things to mention while reading: 1. Pretty standard-thing most people say about games they have a passion for, but I’m a big Serious Sam fan. 2. I’m in no way a big game reviewer with experience with game design and industry background information. and lastly, 3. I waited to do this review after I completed the game at least once without doing it on Serious or Mental difficulty, without getting all the secrets (The game’s been out for 3 days, I don’t think everyone’s found all of them just yet but I could be wrong. Because I sure as hell didn’t find most of them), because I wanted to help people whom are on the fence about bad reviews and pre-set expectations they set on Croteam. (Also one last note: I had to trim down my review to fit Steam's review limit, I had more to say, but there's a character limit I just hit.) Brief Summary
