Crysis vs Serious Sam 3: BFE
Crysis
Crysis is the first of a brilliant action-shooter game that has players shooting aliens and saving the world with a unique, multi-function nanosuit that augments your combat capability on the battlefield in ways that kinda makes you a super-soldier of sorts. You can enhance your strength in order to lift cars, for example; boost armor so you can take more damage, or turn on invisibility to sneak through enemy lines. There is a diverse arsenal of weapons and munitions that you can use and customize as well, giving you multiple ways to plan out your tactics and play according to your own preferences.As amazing as the first Crysis game was, the game's graphics can be a bit dated and well, none of the online servers are up now, so you can't really enjoy the game via its multiplayer mode. However, if you simply want to enjoy the game for sentimental purposes or to enjoy the storyline, well, you might want to buy the game.
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person, action shooter that offers an explosive, bullet-hell-like gameplay on top of an already pretty frantic, arcade-styled shooting action. Kiting the enemies around is a skill you'll need in this game since it doesn't have the sophisticated systems that modern tactical shooters have, like cover or duck and roll. There are plenty of weapons, including a nice selection of melee weapons, for you to carry out your massacre with and you can easily switch between them whenever you like! Not to mention, the game has several new enemy types, including the massive Khnum as well as the massive AND hideous Scrapjack, in addition to the usual ones.Serious Sam 3 also has several game modes, including co-op multiplayer, versus multiplayer along with survival single and multiplayer. If you have your friends around your place, you can even play the game in split-screen mode and yell your heads off together when a monster caught both of you off guard. Best yet, creative players and modders are even given a level editor to play with. New mods or levels created can also be shared to the game community via Steam Workshop.
When it comes to crazy, almost non-stop action, Serious Sam is among the best game franchises to play. Serious Sam 3: BFE is their latest game and thus, it does look a lot better than any of their previous games, but you can still expect the same old (equally exciting) gameplay you've come to love.
