Multiplayer is where Demeo really shines, however, be it with a group of mates or randoms online. Working as a team, strategically taking turns to deal damage, buff, and heal each other to gain the upper hand on your foes is a fantastic feeling. Also, with Demeo being crossplay with PCVR headsets, where there is a huge, dedicated playerbase already, PSVR2 players will be able to join an experienced group without issue. From our time with the game, the community is very welcoming to new players who are eager to guide those new to Demeo, giving out tips, tricks, and strategies via the built-in game chat.
