Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is a huge improvement over how clunky and sometimes unfun SS3 was, everything from the story, to characters, humor and gunplay is marginally better over previous titles.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Probably for the first time in the series all weapons stay relevant till the end of the game thanks to how well balanced they are as well as brand new dual wielding mechanics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story in 4 is one of the aspects that sold the game for me the moment I've started playing it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
By the way, the soundtrack is also INCREDIBLE, the game has vehicles and wide areas now, so having some high quality music to enjoy to while traversing those giant areas from Italy/France was great.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the highlights of Serious Sam 4 is its multiplayer and co-op modes.
