Hey, what’s up? It’s been a while since we did one of these, and in the meantime, the Serious Sam 4 workshop has become absolutely humongous. With more than 200 mods, there’s a little something for everyone, and we don’t see it slowing down any time soon. That may be why we have decided to switch it up a bit in this feature article. Most of the time, we like to focus on mods that either convert…

Hi Everyone! First of all, happy Serious Sam anniversary. The series we all love and cherish has turned 20 years old this past Sunday, and it really seems unreal.

I’m sure everyone a…
