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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 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.

I have been playing FPS games ever since Wolfenstein first game out. Have loved them all. Doom, Quake, Duke, Half-Life, and the list goes on and on. At the ripe old age of 65, I thought I had pretty much played every first person shooter game out there. Then a colleague told me about the Serious Sam series. I had never heard of them. Holy smokes, seriously, it's truly the next level of FPS game fun for me. The weapons are as awesome as are the enemies. Such an utterly brilliant game. In fact, after playing this "First Encounter", I immediately bought all the other Serious Sam games. So good. Enjoy!
童年回忆,B级游戏里的3A大作,关卡设计和敌人设计cult味十足,毁灭战士直呼外行。 这系列属于是游戏界的臭豆腐/榴莲,闻着臭,吃着香。
все тоже золото, но в слегка отличающейся обертке. Не счесть часов игры в подвальном игровом клубе за этим шедевром!
Dieses Spiel ist äußerst gut gealtert. Auf Empfehlung eines guten Freundes hin, habe ich dieses Game digital erworben. Gemeinsam haben wir es durchgesuchtet. Vor allem wenn man gemeinsam spielt, ist es gut geeignet für einen äußerst hervorragenden Abend. Die Gegnerhorden sind brachial und monströs (that's what she said). Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen. Müsst ihr wissen.
Сколько бы лет не прошло, а Серьезный Сэм все так же хорош, как и всегда. Да, с точки зрения современных игр Сэм простоват, но именно это и делает его, собственно, "Серьезным Сэмом". Это классический шутер с крутыми пушками и толпами врагов, а много ли еще надо для счастья?
Juegazo clásico, la verdad es que el antiguo tenia su encanto pero esta versión HD esta bastante conseguida, creo que esta es la 3ra vez que me lo paso, lo recordaba mas largo pero la verdad es que tiene buena duración. Toca volver a acabar el second encounter, aunque este le tengo mas cariño por la antigua demo de 2001 y por que Egipto me flipa.
Всё еще старая-добрая классика, но с новым графеном. Движок, увы, потерял некоторые старые фичи, но все еще играется отлично. Увы, малоактуально ныне в виду Фьюжн версии.
I miss the old graphics, this one is decent, but serious engine 3 can't replicate what SE1 did. What a pity...
