Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE is a virtual reality action shooter, a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom.

Play as Sam Stone during Earth’s final struggle against Mental’s invading legions of monsters and mercenaries. The game is a VR prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter, with a campaign focused on surviving the invasion.
Combat pits you against groups of attackers in open arenas. Aim and fire with VR controllers, choose from weapons such as shotguns, rifles, a minigun, and a cannon, and dual-wield many of them. Battles emphasize movement and awareness rather than taking cover.
Choose between smooth locomotion and several teleport movement options, with comfort settings available. Beyond the campaign, play cooperative or competitive multiplayer modes, and use Steam Workshop to access player-created content and modifications.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its fast, satisfying shooting and the physical feel of fighting enemies in VR; dual-wielding weapons is a recurring highlight. Some also enjoy revisiting Serious Sam in VR or playing cooperatively. Opinions are mixed: reviewers criticize control quirks, technical problems, dated visuals, and levels they feel spend too long on navigation between fights.
