This may be the worst game that I enjoyed playing and would still recommend. But only to fans of boomer shooters. There's a lot of bullshit that many FPS gamers (rightfully) shun these days. The whole game is essentially this:
1. You enter a large, empty space.
2. Dozens of enemies spawn in front of you, and another dozen spawns behind you.
3. You kill them all.
4. You approach the key item or door.
5. Steps 2-4 repeat (maybe more than once).

If you play this, make sure to start on Easy since that's what the devs intended as the "Normal" difficulty (even though there is a difficulty called Normal; baffling decision there, I know).

This game was pure garbage 🤷🏻‍♂️

This has to be one of the dumbest FPS games I have ever played and I hold zero nostalgia for it, but I definitely like it for all the wrong reasons. Vast open zones that are undeniably far too big, guns that feel fine most of the time but don't help as much as you'd want when you're trapped in literally seconds by an unbelievably massive horde. This game is a staple of its time and teaches all the lessons that nobody should take, but I can't lie it is pretty fun to play.

I find serious sam games very boring

Never played the Serious Sam games before besides a very short five minute session in "The Next Encounter" when I was a kid on my PS2. How the fuck did I not know about Serious Sam? I'm a huge HUGE Doom fan, or fan of old school FPS in general, this is like Doom Eternal in 2001! I had so much fun with Serious Sam and if you are a fan of old school shooters and haven't played this, YOU'VE GOT TO.
