Think of the most basic human models you can grab from an Unreal asset pack, with the most robotic of animations, and little to no facial expressions. The human characters, on the other hand, dear lord. The enemy designs are simplistic, but not hideous, either. The game isn’t exactly hideous, but next-gen this is not. That introductory cutscene which puts you against literally a thousand enemies at once, that damn thing was running at a framerate that made Ocarina of Time feel like Doom Eternal in comparison. I can count the amount of times only a few non-boss enemies are thrown onto you during a combat section, so you can already imagine the outcome: Serious Sam 4 runs poorly on the PS5. The game occasionally runs at 60fps on Performance Mode (I was legit scared of playing it on Visual Mode to notice the difference), but the framerate would eventually tank the moment more than five or six enemies appeared onscreen. I would say it runs even worse on the PlayStation 5. Since Serious Sam 4 is all about shoving the screen with as many braindead goons a graphics card can handle, it ran poorly even on the fanciest of configurations. ![]() ![]() The performance was basically tied to the amount of enemies onscreen: the more of them at any given moment, the worse the framerate would get. Remember how bad the performance was in the PC version of Serious Sam 4? We reviewed the game on a very beefy PC, and even then it struggled to maintain a decent framerate. Every other problem featured in this port, however, is inexcusable. Or at least not feel utterly irritated when witnessing them. You wouldn’t be able to fix those without completely remaking the game’s structure from scratch, so I can almost ignore them. Some of them were inevitable, such as the really poor level design, underwhelming voice acting, and terrible upgrade system (you need to unlock the ability to collect ammo from dead enemies? For real?). ![]() Namely, everything that was wrong with the original version of Serious Sam 4 is present in this PlayStation 5 port. The secrets are so well hidden that it becomes almost impossible to find them without a guide and there should be a difficulty between easy and medium.It would have been a cooler intro if it wasn’t running at around 12 frames per second. Now for the not so great parts There are two points in the game where you lose all your weapons which is kind of annoying as you lose all the unique “gadgets” you have acquired throughout the game. Firstly, I need to say the music is 10/10, it’s amazing and really makes the game epic. Firstly, Serious Sam 4 was a pretty fun game and definitely a good Serious Sam game BUT it doesn’t quite hit the mark for a couple of reasons. Serious Sam 4 was a pretty fun game and definitely a good Serious Sam game BUT it doesn’t quite hit the mark for a couple of reasons. I hope/wish the developers will keep supporting and adding new things to the game because it's really very special and extremely fun. Overall, I honestly love this game as much as Doom Eternal, both are similar and different at the time, but going against hundreds of enemies at the same time in a first person view video game is very unique to Serious Sam, as I never seen any other game able do that before, and it's extremely fun for me to kill them with all the amazing meaty sounding weapons this game provides. One of the best shooters I played! I heard this game had major performance issues on PC, but my PS5 experience has been smooth for the most One of the best shooters I played! I heard this game had major performance issues on PC, but my PS5 experience has been smooth for the most part, it runs at 60 frames per second with few minor dips here and there, but nothing major, it also looks like an eye candy after you turned the saturation all the way up in the options menu. ![]()
