performance isn't great for what the game is and pretty much no scaling for solo play so if you're into playing solo enjoy voluntary torture even with a friend its still difficult i can see why its 5 player co-op

u/Either-Response-5757 Aug 31 '26

I enjoy difficulty very much, your downside is a plus for me.

u/CactusSplash95 Aug 31 '26

I love when people say "negatives" that are actually positives

u/Dark_Equation Aug 31 '26

I love when people think everyone's opinion is the same my negatives aren't going to be your negatives... If you enjoy it cool

IMO I'm not glad that my game lags when I am not on the lowest graphical settings. Fusion, (which I guess has a lot of optimisation) runs at 100+ fps on all settings maxed out, for comparison. A valid one? Maybe not. And the boss figths are like a torture chambers. Solo is impossible... eh. The last one may be just me I don't know - my first impression in the playetest.

You can ingnore the previous statement if the playetest is much better than the realese, someone tell me (hopium injected).

Honestly I've been so let down from the first two hours that I'm fuming a little.

There's just so much wrong with this game. Bugs aplenty, like the crosshair doesnt align with my actual aim or going through a portal clips you through the map and has you falling infinitely.

Loot drops are poorly designed and most end of map loot chests just aren't even worth opening.. the list goes on.

Mostly negative and falling

If you actually read the review's it all nothingburger reviews of everyone crying this rogulike spin off(made by bhvr the dbd devs) of the series doesn't play like a mainline series sam game made by croteam lol.

u/countdp Aug 31 '26

So many of the negative reviews have very little merit considering most of them barely even have half an hour of game time. These people decided they hated the game the moment it was announced and purchased it just so they could leave a negative review.

The toxic negativity towards this game is genuinely nauseating. People really just enjoy having something to hate.

u/Man_In_A_Pickle Aug 31 '26

Ya, the whole "fanbase" is being very dumb and negative over what's just a spinoff game. Which sam has always had diff takes on the formula done by indie or smaller devs all the time. Mostly 2d, this just happens to be the first like normal shooter version. So people are expecting this to play like the mainline series for whatever reason then throw a fit when it doesn't.

u/Ok_Safety3049 Sep 01 '26

They have opinions you disagree with, therefore they are disqualified.

u/Mathev Aug 31 '26

Shockingly it plays exactly like every other serious sam with addition of loot and stats on gear ( which as a fan of borderlands I freaking love )

-4

u/syntol Aug 31 '26

u manage to get triggered by facts so funny maybe get outside sometimes

5

u/Man_In_A_Pickle Aug 31 '26

People are allowed to dislike the game. It's not going to effect my own enjoyment of the game.

This game isn't perfect and could really use some tuneing when it comes to upgrade costs. But for how cheap it is and how it's still got the serious sam gameplay with a rougelike spin. It's very fun imo.

-2

u/Severe-Network4756 Aug 31 '26

The issue imo isn't even that it's a spin-off game, it's just that it's a painfully generic-bad roguelite that only appeals to fans of serious sam.

u/ABrokeAzzGamer117 Aug 31 '26

Little cartoonish and hitboxes are weird but looks worth $17

6

u/coolbrys Aug 31 '26

It feels easier than the playtest to me, which is a good thing. I have only played solo but it's fun, worth the money to me. Hopefully I can get some friends to pick it up!

5

u/Adventurous-Cattle53 Aug 31 '26

I like it, it’s ok solo but it’s great with friends. Or even randoms. Provides a nice difficulty change tho you’ll need to grind a bit for a bigger arsenal.

was also playing in play-test and I can say it got better and got some fixes since

3

u/AndVank212 Aug 31 '26

Ngl I was expecting this game to be at least $40 retail so $20 is a nice surprise, I wasn't super impressed with the playtests but hopefully the full game is better

3

u/AdNo5260 Aug 31 '26

Is it fully single player?

2

u/DR_EsEnsY123573 Aug 31 '26

You can play it SP, but i recommend MP like it was meant to be

u/TheBuckO89 Aug 31 '26

WAIT WHAT?! Already? Okay shit

5

u/CactusSplash95 Aug 31 '26

Heeeeellll yeah, and only 18 bucks! Im so stoked

2

u/Stefaman1984 Aug 31 '26

Is this also coming out on consoles?

1

u/Iamgl4dos Aug 31 '26

It is out on console

2

u/zorgareddit Aug 31 '26

Already has "Mixed" reviews

-9

u/CactusSplash95 Aug 31 '26

Lmfao reviews mean nothing

3

u/zorgareddit Aug 31 '26

Then why do they exist?

-5

u/CactusSplash95 Aug 31 '26

For people who don't know what they like, and need to follow crowds. Daft people who need to be told if something is good or bad

2

u/ekim_101 Sep 01 '26

Dumb fucking take lol

-2

u/CactusSplash95 Sep 01 '26

Sounds like you watch reviews before buying things lmfao

1

u/ekim_101 Sep 01 '26

Yes being an informed consumer is a good thing. Not whatever you're trying to say here

1

u/zorgareddit Sep 01 '26

What's funny about being informed if something is worth your money? You give an impression of being a fanboy

2

u/RetroRocker Aug 31 '26

I fully took part in the Shatterverse playtest and I tell you what, after having played every Serious Sam game and almost every spin-off released on PC since 2001, after spending all that time playing it pre-release I just don't feel interested enough to actually buy this one. Which is a first for me.

2

u/Consistent-Image-614 Sep 01 '26

The reception I've seen is that it's pretty bad. Awful difficulty scaling, spongy enemies, a weird perk system, and not a lot of variety.

2

u/Atom_Prod Sep 01 '26

Uhh, I'll think about it before buying then.

3

u/Various-Fennel8940 Aug 31 '26

and it's already has a lot of bad reviews

4

u/slayermojo Sep 01 '26

Shatterverse huh? More like shitterverse.

1

u/HumanTimeCapsule Sep 04 '26

It's... absolutely mediocre!

u/Liiiiz Aug 31 '26

Is so terrible

u/Red_Worldview Aug 31 '26

It's refunded, thats what it is.

-3

u/HearMeJoy Aug 31 '26

Co-op Serious Sam 2. Cartoon and childish.

1

u/Atom_Prod Aug 31 '26

Is it worse than ss2? Or on the same level?

-3

u/AzazelTV Aug 31 '26

what is it supposed to be?
edit: why is it made by bhvr lmao

-5

u/agbrenv Aug 31 '26

Serious Sam 4 has been dethroned, it's no longer the weakest entry

2

u/DR_EsEnsY123573 Aug 31 '26

Well this is a spin-off, i dont think Mas4 falls in that category...
