If they patch it, get the frame rate worked out, get online co op working. ss3 has a browser built in so u can see co op games running, but ss4? nope! also, there's a way to MAKE a co op game, but no way to JOIN one! what?! its like they forgot to even add "join game" or ability to search for games currently playing online. I went to their reddit page, the game dev, told'em the frames were bad.

i think the game runs in 4k, and they need to give the option to run in 1440p or at least something less than 4k, that'd help clear up the frames im sure. performance has the better frames but not by much. difference? quality adds a tid bit more grass and better shadows. i played in quality mode AND performance. the grafx in ss4 are indeed better than ss3. any ruins? any pyramids? nope! maybe in dlc? who knows. part 3 also had the best sound track, it completely fit the game. part 3 went a bit more realistic in the grafx department and i liked it. SS1 and 2 were cartoony, fun, catchy music, really fun in co op. The experience is compromised by the enormous firefights it’s gleefully sold on. Last gen's The Serious Sam Collection managed what felt like a locked 60fps at all times and this sequel really isn't that big a visual leap that the PlayStation 5 shouldn't be able to handle it. Anytime you’ve got a surplus of baddies on screen kicking up particles - which is almost all the time - the frame rate tanks. You’ve got the customary Quality/Performance toggle, but while the latter does provide 60 frames-per-second at times, it drops, and it drops hard. It’s a better-looking game than Serious Sam 3, but honestly? The difference isn’t that striking. It’s challenging, with plenty of secrets and - for the first time - “side quests”, though these just lead to items and weapon caches rather than anything essential.

It's another shooter much like the last one, with mostly the same enemies and similar environments.

That’s not to say it’s bad - it's another generally playable slice of carnage in the long-running series - but it’s also yet another prequel, a fifth game in which the villain, the tastefully named “Mental”, does not make an appearance. Serious Sam 4 almost immediately disappoints.
