And no, this doesn't reflect Netflix's fondness for cancelling shows after a few seasons. Stranger Things season 5 will be the last, the Duffer Brothers said. The season 4 release date will also represent bittersweet news for fans. The Duffer Brothers noted the fourth run is "nearly twice the length" of any past season, so you may have plenty to watch in that five-week span. This split doesn't just exist keep you subscribed to Netflix, either. The streaming service has revealed that Stranger Things season 4 will debut in two parts, with Volume 1 arriving on May 27th and Volume 2 appearing July 1st. As a solo adventurer, though, Demeo is perfect for when I’m in need of a quick-play session with other players from around the globe.It took three years, but Netflix is finally ready to set a release date for Stranger Things season 4 - or rather, release dates. I can’t wait to play Demeo with my regular D&D group as we ease our way back into in-person sessions. Not once did I experience any sort of motion sickness, meaning I can play Demeo for extended periods of time – far more than any other VR title can boast with me. I was still, however, absolutely blown away by the tabletop RPG experience that Demeo offers. I already had high expectations for Demeo, and Carly and the Reaperman only increased those expectations. With its last release, Carly and the Reaperman, Resolution Games showed its hand a bit as to what players could expect in Demeo. Cross-play opens up a vastly wider audience that can access Demeo, which will be a huge asset for the VR community moving forward. My playthroughs consisted of playing with other VR headset players, but I’m very excited to be able to play Demeo with my nephews who don’t own a VR device. However, non-VR PC players are also able to join in on the fun, with Demeo being the first title from Resolution Games to feature that cross-platform functionality. Other players’ hands become slightly glowing wisps, which helps keep the play area free of clutter so that everyone can see.ĭemeo comes as a VR title on the Oculus Quest Store, along with Steam for Oculus Quest and Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Additionally, while you can see the subtle heads of the people playing, you can only see the hands of the person whose turn it is. Some small, but important quality of life features are also present in Demeo, such as the ability to use a laser pointer-type of indicator to show who or what on the map you may be referring to while talking with the group. The dungeon and characters seamlessly scale as you zoom in and out, allowing you to check things out from multiple angles before making your next move. You can even zoom in and out, changing from the perspective of a top-down-style tabletop session to that of literally being in the midst of battle in a POV setting, the walls of the catacombs rising high above your head. You can spin and reposition yourself around the table so that you can get the best viewing angle whether or not it’s your turn. Even better is the fact that I can play the game sitting comfortably in my chair in the stationary position – just like I would be in a real-life tabletop session. Playing on the Oculus Quest, I literally feel like I’m playing at a table with a bunch of miniatures. The best thing about Demeo is its level of immersion. I’ve often run into rooms where the enemies outnumber the party members four-to-one, sometimes even more, depending on the positioning of each party member. Conversely, you might just be walking into a room filled with respawning rat nests, a swarm of spiders, evil elven archers, and a massive fire elemental. That room you’re about to enter? It might just have the healing fountain you’ve been looking for, or a mound of gold that can be picked up and split amongst the party. Although you’re able to see the layout of the dungeon in its entirety, fog of war prevents you from seeing anything beyond your field of view (within reason). You’ll move your selected character throughout the corrupted catacombs as you search for both the key and the exit. Gameplay is pretty straightforward, especially if you’re familiar with the mechanics of most turn-based tabletop RPGs. The characters - coming in the form of miniature figurines - are placed on a literal gameboard that is set up on a table in a basement setting, a la Stranger Things. By nature, Demeo is a fantasy roguelike where up to four players can take on the role of a hunter, sorcerer, assassin, or guardian.
