About

See what Sam sees, feel what Sam feels, and find out what it's like to BE the legend!KEY FEATURES:
Serious Locomotion - Explore the levels using trackpad movement (if you are brave enough), go with safer built-in teleportation system and move quickly to avoid charging enemies with the help of Sam's personal translocator device or tweak and adjust the way you move through the VR space to best suit you playing style with using our own Serious Warp (tm) locomotion.
Double the Gun, Double the Fun – Let go of the keyboard and gun down enemies in VR, one weapon in each hand, or dual-wield them, quadrupling your stopping power. Combine different guns or just grab two of the same, but whatever your style, remember: Mental must be stopped!
Old School, New Engine - Hordes of enemies and non-stop action set against the expansive and visually stunning backdrop of ancient Egypt - all powered by the latest Serious Engine 2017 to create one of the most impressive VR experiences yet!

Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter reviews and comments

Translated by

Inlets out, Creaking through and Loosemen, this simple Formula has always Worked on the Serious Sam series, with The First Encounter, Croteam has brought a real Classic to virtual reality that works surprisingly well, Content is almost Everything at the Old remained, until of course on the great Mid-penetration feeling and the slightly drilled graphic, admitted at first I was also a little nauseous As I am otherwise used to playing normally on the Screen with Pad or mouse keyboard, after an Adjustment time this evaporated this Nausea though, also the game can be Good controlling, whether by Teleportation or normal movement it just makes me a fun fun on the Super Thatched Aids to Ballers, who the Solo part is too little of, can also deal with other players who are spherding around the ears , in addition to a Classic Co-Op Mode, you still have modes like Deathmatch/Team deathmatch, Capture the Flag or instant Kill. Pro In The thick Of it Feel Good Touch Control Online Co-Op Contra Something Short So I have a Lot Of Fun with The First Encounter VR, if there was anything I have to fault then as now then that is the short game time that was then also, I can Continue to Play the game En.

Early Access Review The first Serious Sam in VR? What's Geileres?! The Game was an instant purchase and after the first two Missions I don't regret a Penny of it! Absolutely Feeling and the Weapons and opponents look great and Feel great! It's like a childhood dream to Experience these Crazies lunatics without a Head and with the two Bombs in your Hands "aaaaaahhhhh" screaming in full Size in front of one:-) The Graphics are fluid (GTX 1080) and the Controls work well. The only thing I have to complain about: The teleport function is stupid, so I switched directly to the trackpad movement. However, This cannot be slowed down and is very sensitive. One moves more often to understand to left-b.right, instead of forward and it causes quite some Motion Sickness. Nevertheless, for all Serious Sam fans with VR glasses a Mandatory purchase, I like it around worlds better than "The Last Hope." Positive Features: Serious Sam mittendrin feeling, just horny! Good and fluid Graphic Weapons and Opponents feel realistic about Control and aiming up well Many graphics setting possibilities negative features: Teleport locomotion doof and Trackpad too sensitive, no Customization possible I also have a Let's Play in my YouTube channel recorded (is freshly uploaded, may wait a few Minutes if Errors occur): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reE31rF7TCQ
