SERIOUS SAM 4 PS5 REVIEW PC
In graphics mode, it looks about the same as it did on my PC ten years ago…but it is capped to 30 with nothing visually to show for it.
SERIOUS SAM 4 PS5 REVIEW SERIES
When set to the performance mode on my Series S, the game becomes a bit of a blurry mess with no reflections and fuzzy shadows…but at least it does run at 60.
SERIOUS SAM 4 PS5 REVIEW PATCH
It has no next generation patch either in spite of releasing in time with the new machines. There’s no good excuse for how unoptimized this game is on consoles. Games that have twenty year old technology buried underneath them. Games that have paltry system requirements on PC and will run fast on the proverbial toaster/potato/metaphor-of-your-choosing. These are re-releases of games that ran competently on the Xbox 360. It’s baffling that everything from the base Xbox One on up to the new Series consoles and PS5 can’t run these games at 60 frames per second with all the graphics options turned on. While this setup is theoretically understandable for the Nintendo Switch, it’s completely absurd to see these settings on Sony and Microsoft’s platforms. The game has two visual settings: a Graphics mode that’s locked at 30FPS and a Performance mode that dials everything back and goes for 60FPS.
Its biggest issue on consoles is performance. I’ve tested the game extensively on both the Xbox Series S and Stadia.

The basis for the collection is an essentially-abandoned Steam project called Serious Sam Fusion, itself a collection of games that were first released on PC and Xbox 360 almost a decade ago.Īnything here make it look like this should be locked at 30? No? No. It was released a couple of weeks ago for Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch for $29.99 after spending the last several months as a Stadia exclusive. Unfortunately, it’s hard to classify Serious Sam Collection’s new console release as anything other than a disappointment. Over the last few months, I had the joy of playing through the entire franchise with a friend through its online co-op mode on PC, and it’s still as thrilling today as it has ever been. Serious Sam may not have the polish of true gaming legends like the Doom series, but it has the same heart and blissful fun at its core. Its combination of energetic shooting action, hordes of enemies, vibrant visual design, and relentless pacing puts it near the top of the first person shooter genre in my mind. I’ve been a fan of Croteam’s Serious Sam franchise since its first launch back in 2001. Xbox Series S screenshot taken by the author.
