Each of you hovers above the gameboard as a customizable avatar situated in a dingy basement that doubles as a time capsule for ’80s D&D fanatics and those that remember huddling around a TV to play Gauntlet (one of Demeo’s more direct influences). Up to four players can tackle Demeo’s randomized run of three dungeon levels in games that can last anywhere from a few minutes for the careless to approaching three hours or more. That doesn’t just speak to the strength of the game’s core foundations but also the impressive polish of its social VR elements. It’s been proper, care-free quality time, a type I haven’t enjoyed in many other VR apps and a type that’s been sorely missing from all our lives of late. More so than when I call them over webcam and, in some senses, even more so than a socially distanced face-to-face meetup at opposite ends of a freezing park bench.

Over the past week of playing Demeo - sometimes with people across the Atlantic, sometimes even further - I feel like I’ve done something I haven’t done a lot over the past year – see my friends. So much so, in fact, it elevates what is otherwise a really rather fun tabletop RPG into something special. Resolution Games has always been good at that but, here? The studio nails it. Y’know, it the whole promise of leapfrogging the miles between friends and family and experiencing a genuine social connection in virtual space via the magic of VR. Is Resolution Games’ most ambitious VR title yet its best? Find out in our Demeo review!ĭemeo is one of those times it works.
