Demeo

Demeo is everything I’ve ever wanted in a digital D&D tabletop experience.

When I first got into VR, I had a list of game types I’d like to see in VR. An MMORPG, like the upcoming Zenith. An open world RPG like the VR port of Skyrim. A rail shooter, which I recently got in Zombieland: Headshot Fever. A flight simulator like Star Wars: Squadrons. And finally, a tabletop simulator. Whether a proper VR adaptation of an existing board game, or a VR port of the actual Tabletop Simulator. Now within each genre, I had expectations of course. But when it came to board gam...

Demeo is a fantastic dungeon-crawler, and a perfect addition to the PSVR2 library. Demonstrating a visual clarity not seen on any other platform, the PlayStation VR2 version is the best possible platform. This is an easy recommendation and a must-have for any PSVR2 owner.

Demeo is pure, uncut geek wish fulfillment. If nights spent in the basement playing a living, breathing board game with your buddies sounds like something you would enjoy, then don't hesitate to grab this fantastic tabletop RPG sim in it's best current incarnation on PS VR 2. Tons of content, a wicked level of difficulty, and spectacular visuals all combine to make this the best board game night of all time. Better with friends (they don't need PS VR 2, but it helps), Demeo can provide some howlingly fun dungeon crawling.

Games such as Werewolves Within and Star Trek: Bridge Crew place you in an immersive world and require teamwork and discussion to achieve success. The combination creates incredible experiences that you can not replicate in the traditional format of the medium. Demeo aims to take the classic TTRPG gameplay, a genre that centers around communication, into the virtual realm. While this sounds like the perfect concoction, will Resolution Games be able to include the many nuances of its counterp...

Though Demeo nails the quality tabletop experience in VR, as well as creates an incredible social space, it's thin amount of content makes it hard to recommend at its price point.

Demeo presents an interesting blend of card-based combat, strategy gameplay, and roguelike elements so let's see how that works out.
