Serious sam 3 metacritic update#

Additionally, the levels are full of secret areas, where health, armor, ammo and in some cases, weapons from later levels can be found, following the tradition of the previous games. There is no regenerating health, instead there are health and armor power-ups scattered throughout the levels that the player must pick up. The signature close-combat weapons from the first game, the knife and chainsaw, have been replaced with a sledgehammer with three modes of attack (vertical strike, 180 turn and full 360 turn).

There are 13 weapons in total, five of which have a manual reload. The player can carry an unlimited number of weapons, including a minigun, rocket launcher, assault rifle and a cannon. There are also a larger number of enemies that can attack the player from a distance. However Serious Sam 3 has more closed environments than its predecessors, particularly in the early levels. Like previous titles in the series, Serious Sam 3: BFE involves fighting against many hordes of enemies in wide-open environments. The game itself, however, was released one day after Valve opened the beta branch for 'Steam for Linux', namely 20 December 2012.

The Linux version of the game started being worked on after a high number of requests, where the first Linux-related update was the porting of the game's dedicated server. The OS X support for the game followed shortly after and was released on 23 April 2012. The game was first released for Microsoft Windows on 22 November 2011. The game features a 16-player online, as well as 4-player splitscreen co-op campaign mode.

The game takes place in 22nd-century Egypt, during Mental's invasion on Earth, as implied in The First Encounter. It is part of the Serious Sam series and the prequel to the 2001 video game, Serious Sam. Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person shootervideo game developed by Croatia-based indie development studio Croteam and published by Devolver Digital.
