The way Sam screams “EARTH” that first time can be a little jarring. I suggest starting with the planets, specifically on Earth.

You’re confronted with a lot of options when you first boot up, but gameplay takes place in either one of the game’s planets, an arena, or the endless mode. I track every workout with my trusty Charge 2, and Serious Sam is relatively simple to jump in and play. If this sounds like your kind of jam, and you don’t mind a bit of the ol’ ultraviolence, then read on for a review of The Last Hope. Oh, and they also throw stuff so we hope you’re nice and limber! If you want an idea of pacing, try and imagine frantically pumping rockets into a 50-story tall mummy rapidly approaching you, while its minions literally rise from the sands to attack dozens at a time.

The PC version is intense, to say the least, and this VR version does a great job translating that sense of overwhelming urgency. Serious Sam is defined by the absolutely incredible amount of enemies the game expects you to dispatch with no cover. Serious Sam: The Last Hope, from Croteam and Devolver Digital, is a wave shooter based on the popular “Serious” franchise. Difficult, yet rewarding, Serious Sam offers deep customization to suit your playstyle.
