A nostalgic trip for Serious Sam fans, Shatterverse's action-packed gameplay takes center stage. Yet, it's a mixed bag, with technical issues and content variety concerns emerging.

What it's about: Serious Sam: Shatterverse est un FPS roguelite coop pour 1 à 5 joueurs. Dévastez des univers changeants, cumulez des bonus absurdes, changez les règles avec des modificateurs de run et traquez les forces de Mental. Quand on meurt, on rempile.
