Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
10 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Sep 1 → 4.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

a great game, well preserved over time
Старенькая и ностальгирующая игра, когда трава была зеленее, цены невысокие и Sam помоложе. Рекомендую пройти игру для ознакомления любителям шутеров и мастерам по поискам секретов (Их тут многовато).

Прекрасно все. за 20 лет почти не состарилась.
Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter is a great game that I used to play in co-op at internet cafés. It’s great to see this remastered version available again and now part of my collection. On modern gaming PCs, it runs extremely smoothly at 4K with a clean 120 FPS, making it feel surprisingly modern despite its age. The Serious Sam series is a bit of a forgotten classic, but it still holds up really well and is definitely worth revisiting if you enjoy fast-paced arcade-style shooters. From a broader perspective, this remaster does a solid job preserving the original gameplay while improving technical performance and accessibility, making it an easy recommendation for both nostalgia and new players discovering the series today.

Есть игры, которые запускаешь — и будто возвращаешься на много лет назад. Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter как раз из таких. С первых минут слышишь знакомую музыку, видишь бескрайние египетские просторы — и в голове сразу всплывают старые вечера за компьютером, когда слово «шутер» означало не укрытия и катсцены, а чистый, безумный экшен. Здесь всё по-старому и в лучшем смысле этого слова. Ты бежишь вперёд, а навстречу несутся сотни врагов, экран заполняется взрывами, криками и летящими ядрами. Никакой передышки — только ты, оружие и реакция. И в этом хаосе есть особое удовольствие, которое сложно найти в современных FPS. HD-версия аккуратно освежает классику: картинка стала чище, плавнее, но душа оригинала осталась нетронутой. Уровни всё так же огромны, враги всё так же абсурдны, а каждая новая пушка вызывает детскую радость. Это тот редкий случай, когда ремастер не ломает воспоминания, а делает их ещё приятнее. Отдельный кайф — фирменный юмор Сэма. Он наивный, иногда глупый, но именно поэтому такой родной. Игра вообще не стесняется быть простой, громкой и весёлой — и за это её хочется уважать. А если запустить кооператив, игра раскрывается ещё сильнее: крики, смех, паника и радость от выживания в этом безумии создают те самые «ламповые» моменты, ради которых мы и любим старые игры. Итог: Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter — это не просто ремастер, а тёплое возвращение в эпоху, когда игры были проще, громче и честнее. Настоящий подарок для фанатов и отличный способ почувствовать, каким был тот самый олдскульный FPS, в который играли не ради графики, а ради чистого удовольствия.
