Yeah... Yeah.

I've wanted to check out what Serious Sam is all about due to the fact he just keeps poping up in Devolver Digital promo stuff. In a cast of like iconic indie game visual design, there's just this man, who looks like he had his drip extract via syringe like... Who the fuck is he?

So booting up his debut game, he very much is a white dude in a wife beater and blue jeans. They were going for a Duke Nukem thing, but he delivers every line with the agency and confidence of a nervous cat. He is the idea of this macho badass, but y'know... The Syringe.

But I must stress, that is the charm. The implied unconfident panic behind every line delivery just kind of gives Serious Sam an actual honest to god identity, you know? I know in my gut that was NOT the intention and I assume later entries will "Fix" this, but man something so like... Primally relatable of needing to play a part, but also the siren of "I SHOULDN'T BE HERE!!!! I'M NOT CUT FOR THIS!" Is blaring in your head the entire time. Yeah, that's me every first day on any job. I kind of love him lmao

Everything else is as expected, a fun boomer shooter that's very of its era. Physics affected cannonball gun was a fun highlight, they should let him have more cartoon guns, like a boxing glove on the end of a spring. I also liked the Goombas of the game are decapitated Doomguys lol that's fun
