Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Serious Sam 4 is more Serious Sam, gameplay-wise, basically identical to all the others.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise 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.
One other thing i would like to applaud the devs for, the game doesn't have co-op achievements or difficulty-based ones either, as someone with some neurological issues, i am very happy i could complete all of them, it might be an unpopular opinion but difficulty-based achievements don't make much sense, they're about completion not a cuck-measuring contest :)
