Serious Sam Collection is the most complete console edition ever released, but these games feel more natural and appropriate on PC. There is no better alternative if you want to experience Serious Sam on consoles, but if you have a PC, and you don’t need the most modern or expensive one, you are better off enjoying Serious Sam with a keyboard and mouse, as it was intended. Still, the console version remains a fun experience and despite its dated looks, Serious Sam immerses its players completely, transcending them in the middle of the action. You don’t need strategies or tactics, just the controller and the mood to blow up everything alien you encounter in the game world. Technically there are no improvements, the fun is still as mindless as ever, and the price of the package is a fair one.
