AB The merger of game-based approaches and Virtual Reality (VR) environments that canenhance learning and training methodologies have a very promising future, reinforced bythe widespread market-availability of affordable software and hardware tools for VR-environments. Rather than passive observers, users engage in those learning environments as activeparticipants, permitting the development of exploration-based learning paradigms. There areseparate reviews of VR technologies and serious games for educational and training purposeswith a focus on only one knowledge area. However, this review covers 135 proposals forserious games in immersive VR-environments that are combinations of both VR and seriousgames and that offer end-user validation. First, an analysis of the forum, nationality, and date ofpublication of the articles is conducted. Then, the application domains, the target audience, thedesign of the game and its technological implementation, the performance evaluation procedure, and the results are analyzed. The aim here is to identify the factual standards of theproposed solutions and the differences between training and learning applications. Finally, thestudy lays the basis for future research lines that will develop serious games in immersive VRenvironments, providing recommendations for the improvement of these tools and theirsuccessful application for the enhancement of both learning and training tasks.
