"Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem distills the DNA of the series down into a series of long, brutally chaotic levels backed by an all-time peak of a soundtrack, and I’d recommend it entirely to both returning players wanting more and new …"

"Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is a standalone expansion that takes Sam Stone to the icy land of Siberia. The expansion introduces new weapons, enemies, and gadgets for Sam to use against hordes of enemies of an unmatched scale."

"Full of secrets, desolate and still somewhat gorgeous – Siberia might be the home of bloodshed you were missing in Serious Sam 4. All for the low low(?) price of 30 quid."

"Siberian Mayhem improves on Serious Sam 4 in several areas, except where it mattered most: performance. The expansion&s;s poor framerates and tech issues are a shame when it has better level design and fun secrets."

"Even though Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem came out of nowhere, it offers exactly what we expect from the series nowadays. Shame about the hardware optimization that leads to frequent FPS drops despite the graphics not being up to today&s;s standards."
