Let's Play Serious Sam HD The Second Encounter #30: Oh Look, Another Locked Door

In many ways, this game is cut from the same cloth as Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and other older entries in the FPS genre. This is not just in the fact that you face wave-upon-wave of enemies in arenas, but also in the number one way that you're prevented from progressing to where you need to be: locked doors. While locked doors make the game appear like you have multiple routes you can go, in truth it remains linear in that you need to go to all the places where the 'keys' are.
At least the so-called keys in this game take many, many forms, unlike Doom and Wolfenstein where they were just keys. They function exactly the same, of course, as do the switches which serve as a non-collectible replacement to a key. What we haven't had yet is an optional key that allows you to open the way to secret goodies or a shortcut through the level, but there's plenty of game left for that to happen.

Once you get back to the tower entrance, don't enter it just yet. There is a really cool secret that you missed. Along the outer wall of where you got the Serious Damage power-up is a large pillar with glowing eyes. Shoot it with a rocket to uncover a secret passage. You can also decide to make a second loop around the tower with more enemies, including a special one.
