Short and straightforward. A few zones are quite odd and much harder than the rest of the game. To beat it, you really need to focus on movement and properly utilize double wielding.

I have now played trough serious Sam for the first time. After trying to play through it multiple times traditionally. I really enjoyed it. Things to know tough. *You probably need to play around with both controller bindings in StreamVR as well as the VR settings in game to make it control as you want. Since it's made for Vive wands it has some really weird ideas on how to control the game if you use a more modern controller like the knuckles or any quest controller. *Quick save is your friend. This game have been crashing quite a bit for me. Unknown reason why. *You can actually turn off the lens flare. If you go in under custom graphics settings you can disable it in the bottom of that menu.

8/10 A descent port of of Serious Sam TFE with some odd design choices that hurt the game. Duel wielding breaks it, as does the fact that shotguns can fire as fast as you pull the trigger and none of the weapons need to be reloaded. Still, while I prefer the base game, Its a fun way to replay a great game. I just wish they had put a bit more time into it and not based it off the fusion version.
