More about Serious Sam 3 VR: BFE

Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 288 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 161 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 229 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 39 percent of everything written about it.
