Sam’s intel giver computer friend Nettie has a bit more personality here, making dorky jokes in text updates and some forth wall breaking humor, going from a dry and dull exposition dump to a proper character. There’s little changes to the writing and tone that give Second Encounter a flavor of its own. All of these time periods are populated by monsters and aliens, as you would expect. However, this will require some more time warps, sending Sam to Mesoamerica, Mesopotamia, and finally medieval Europe. The goal now is to find a second ship left by the same race who had that first one hanging around, then go to Mental’s house and kick his alien butt. It’s Serious Sam, but even more, building on that foundation with gusto.Īfter Sam managed to steal an alien ship and left ancient Egypt, Croteam themselves crashed into said ship with their stupid crate bus that Sam hates (he says as much in a first level secret) and he ended up crash landing back on Earth, this time in Mayan era Central America. In all seriousness (ba dum tis), Sam’s second outing of alien killing is a massive step up from the previous game, feeling less like an episode two style release and more a bigger and better full sequel, with all sorts of new features and a real show of growth from a game design perspective. If you find these serious puns annoying, please never play a Serious Sam game, you will pop a blood vessel. The new weapons were more serious, the new enemies far more serious, and the bosses were the most serious of them all. A year after The First Encounter came the creatively titled The Second Encounter, a sequel even more serious than the first.
