What players say

Players are split on Serious Sam 3. Some call it a great arena FPS with satisfying gunplay, while others say the levels blur together and the shotgun is weak. Longtime fans often compare it unfavorably to the first two encounters, pointing out the repetitive level design and the slow, samey first level. The co-op campaign is widely praised, but the multiplayer servers are dead.
