What players say
After finishing Serious Sam TFE VR. I had to to do the TSE VR. Of course. Still the best way to play the game. Only problem is. For some reason that I don't know they deactivated some gameplay stuff. Probably because again they think we will throw up. And for some other reason the game looks very blurry in the distance. It's big, bigger than the first one. First one looked crisp and smooth in VR but not the second...

This gets a thumbs down for the lack of GOG availability and making me 100% bound to the Steam platform to install this game.
