Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE

Garbage. You have lasers on both weapons that extend into infinity. This renders the game ultra easy. You don't even have to try. You can have your arms relaxed and have your hands by your pockets and you still can perfectly aim at enemies and kill them all.

What can I say, it's Serious Sam in VR. It's similar to the regular Serious Sam 3 BFE, the biggest difference is the control scheme. There really isn't anything that makes this a must-play in VR, but it was a novel way to experience the classic, in spite of some issues. This review is more issues than anything, partly because this is more about how the game translates from flat to VR rather than BFE itself. For a review of the game itself, I'll be sure to post a link here if I get around to rewriting my very old and useless one. The gameplay's both harder and easier in certain aspects, for example how it's harder to keep track of your surroundings, but significantly easier to dish out damage with the uncapped fire rate on weapons and the ability to dual wield [b]almost anything[/b] (excluding the Mutilator, Sniper Rifle and C4). It makes for a slightly spiced up experience in a good way, and unlike OG 3, there are no reloads or sprinting. The controls are a bit crap, weapon select is finicky and imprecise, but once you get used to them you should be able to play pretty competently, especially in single player where weapon select temporarily slows down time. Throwing C4 is very if…

Very fun and looks great!

An excellent 3D shooter for relaxing and battling hordes of monsters. Unusual monsters and maps.

This is a solid VR shooter that keeps you on your toes. The obvious tradeoff for VR is the last gen level of graphics, if you can get past those, this game is a decent time waster.

Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE is an unapologetically intense virtual reality shooter that brings the bombastic spirit of classic arcade FPS design into an immersive, physical space. Developed by Croteam VR and published by Devolver Digital alongside Croteam Publishing, this VR adaptation faithfully recreates the entirety of Serious Sam 3: BFE while enhancing its chaos through motion-controlled gunplay and full-scale immersion. Rather than attempting to modernize or reinterpret the formula, the game leans fully into what defines the Serious Sam identity: massive enemy hordes, wide-open arenas, outrageous weapons, and a constant demand for movement and awareness. The campaign places players in the boots of Sam “Serious” Stone during humanity’s last stand against the alien warlord Mental and his endless army of grotesque monsters. Levels range from sun-scorched deserts and ruined cities to ancient temples and underground facilities, all designed to funnel players into large-scale encounters where survival depends on mobility and firepower rather than cover or stealth. In VR, these environments feel imposing and sometimes overwhelming, with enemies charging from multiple directions at once. T…
