Crysis 3 vs Serious Sam 3: BFE
Crysis 3
Crysis 3 is one of the best sequel in the Crysis series so far. As opposed to fighting aliens or other human enemies using a variety of guns, you now possess a unique futuristic Predator Bow that Hawkeye (obviously from the Avengers) would be incredibly envious of. The bow doesn't only look insanely cool, it can even fire various types of augmented arrows that can help you counter heavy artillery fire or electrocute an entire patrol who happened to be walking through a pool of water. Couple that with an improved nanosuit that has all the usual abilities you'd expect and you'll get a super-soldier that you can fully customize to fit your play style.The storyline in this game is quite different than the usual "fight aliens and save the world" sort. In addition to dealing with aliens, you'll also be going against the nefarious C.E.L.L. corporation that had turned the devastated New York City into a vast urban rainforest protected under a massive nanodome.
Crysis 3 has state-of-the-art graphics and effects as well. So, if you are looking to get into the series or even if you're a Crysis veteran, you'll want to get this game... even if its multiplayer functions are currently offline.
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.
