Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a calm or story-led experience may bounce off the constant enemy attacks and rapid firefights.

Our take on Serious Sam VR: The Second Encounter
The bounce point arrives during movement setup: teleportation, Serious Warp, and smooth analog controls offer different ways to navigate VR space, but players who cannot settle on one may struggle before the combat systems become the main focus.
