Games Like Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter (2026)

Shared: tier:sub-5

Russian roulette with a 12-gauge and enough item-based mind games to make pure luck feel like a skill issue. Dirt cheap, brutally short, weirdly hard to put down.

Shared: Wave Survival

Forty-five-plus potato characters, six weapon slots, and a shop that fires every 20 waves: Brotato distills the horde-survivor loop down to its most potent form and dares you to put it down.

Shared: Horde Shooter

97% positive across 375,000+ reviews tells you everything: this is the co-op horde shooter other studios keep failing to clone, and it keeps earning that reputation every session.

Shared: Cross-Play

Three years of patches have salvaged a disaster into a functional 128-player sandbox, but whether that's worth your money depends almost entirely on how forgiving you are with launch-era sins.

Shared: tier:sub-5

Three modes, one free download, and a cheater problem that Team Jade is still chasing down nine seasons in. Worth your time if you squad up; rougher if you go solo.
