The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A run-and-gun shooter that feels like a frantic, over-the-top arcade blast through endless hordes of absurd enemies.

What players say

Players say Serious Sam 4 is a rough but enjoyable entry that sticks to the series' formula of huge enemy hordes and big weapons. It adds dual-wielding and a skill tree, but the open levels feel empty and the final boss disappoints. Performance problems persist, though patches and mods have improved things. Fans are split: some call it the weakest main game, others find it a good co-op blast.
