Demeo is a delightfully-distilled tabletop RPG experience for up to four players that fits just as well in VR as it does on PC or PlayStation.
"Demeo is a cooperative fantasy-themed board game from Resolution Games. After enjoying a period of early access on PC and VR platforms, the game fully launched on Steam and PlayStation 5 this year. Demeo’s appeal is clear, combining the depth and challenge of a modern board game with RPG-lite mechanics and feel, a high degree of immersion, and online cross-play between all available platforms. It’s a recipe for cooperative fun, marred only by overly long play sessions and an unnecessarily high degree of difficulty," says Co-Optimus.

Look, I'm happy IGN has bothered to acknowledge Demeo on PSVR2, but there's always a whiff of reluctance in their praise. "fits just as well in VR as it does on PC or PlayStation" - having played both, I can tell you, you won't want to play this flat once you've played it in VR. It's straight up better. Maybe not enough to move the score up - and it's certainly still a great game if flat screen is your only option - but it's better in VR.
IGN seem to hold back when it comes to VR and I think it's because they don't want to alienate the majority of their fanbase. I get that, but that means we can't trust we'll get an honest opinion.
