Demeo
If I only had one word to describe this game, it would be… wow!
This is on my list of best VR games of all time. It is very similar to some of the D&D-based board games. You control a miniature and you get two actions per turn — move, attack, play card (although some cards can be played without using an action). You can be one of four classes. While the game mechanics are simple, game play requires strategic thinking (and cooperation when playing multiplayer). Game difficulty is just right. It’s challenging. This is not an easy game and you can definitely get yourself into a bad spot, but it’s not impossible. AI is pretty simple. It seems like for the most part it attacks the closest character within sight, but has a chance to do something unexpected which forces you to change your strategy and keeps the game interesting. This game is fun in single player, but really shines in multiplayer. Enemy difficulty is scaled for the number of players. Experience and loot — gold and chests — are given equally to each member of the party, so there is no fighting over who gets to open a chest or who picks up a gold pile. Graphics are gorgeous and the game atmosphere is fantastic. Sounds and music are excellent as well. I also have to say this game has the best tutorial of any game I ever played. It is engaging and not patronizing.

TLDR: If you have friends to play with, get this game, it’s worth it.
I’ve been playing this game with two other people, we played the first level over and over with every combination of 3 heroes possible. We were clamoring for the new map and then it dropped. We were able to barely squeak out a victory against the rat king the first time. Every single time after that we’ve been absolutely destroyed by the mechanics and various bugs. While we are happy that the game got harder, we just wish a couple of the mechanics were tweaked or that each pack has a difficulty rating. The rat king one being extra hard.

This tabletop will change the way you play your online sessions forever.
If you are a DM and felt at any point that your sessions were “flat”, that combat was lacking the 3d aspect, or that your maps were not detailed enough, you need to get this.
If you are a player and you appreciate when the DM had a table with an impressive set of walls, traps and miniatures waiting for the game session, you need to get this.
If you at any point looked at your game board, and said. I’d love for it to be as impressive as videogames, with animations and lights, you need to get this.

This program is amazing, and it has allowed many in our group to get into D&D that never would have before. We’ve been running a campaign for a few weeks now, and it has been a blast using this program. We all live far away from each other, so getting together was not an option, but the visual aspect of this game has helped some of our players enjoy D&D that never would have enjoyed sitting around a table and playing.
This game is also a huge money saver. For $25, you get to create all these maps and have access to so many minis, which would cost a fortune getting real ones from Dwarvenforge (for example, an unpainted cottage stone set on there is $40, that’s just the cottage).

Game Master Engine
I would rate this programme. It is obviously still in Early Access still and I am a new dungeon master (DM) which means I am probably bias with how flashy this comes across.
I DM online (with a group of friends that are located in different cities) and primarily use this as a world map “top world/view/map (can’t remember what it is called)” and use the “battle map” for creating townships and combat arenas. I definitely do not use the bulk of the functions and the availability of models (animals, certain races etc) is still limited. I use the screen share option on Discord because this is what we use for our DnD group voice and text channels. It appears that the Dev’s are working on a multiplayer update but I probably will not use this function anyways.

It is important to keep in mind that this game is in Early Access, however I can confidently say that this game (“program” is a more accurate term) has an infinite amount of potential. The controls are currently quite clunky but with some playing around you can get the gist and begin to compromise. As a DM for 5 years this program has already helped me create our world as a 3D model and my players are ecstatic to see the alternate world they’ve been living brought to life. I still have some playing around to do but I have a few suggestions thus far:

Fantasy Grounds Classic
OK, so please read the full review instead of just taking note of my thumb down vote for this game. That was a tough choice to make. This program is a very mixed bag, some wonderful things in here that are blended together with some horrible design decisions.
Context: I use this program as a face-to-face tool for my gaming group, no outside connections. So this review will ignore any feature dealing with that. Also, will not be comparing this to any competitors. My setup is a dual screen PC, with two instances of the program open. One (GM) on my monitor and the second (Player) on a TV laying flat. Players are using miniatures and real dice, while I am using tokens and the program’s dice.

*** Update as of 3-July-2020****
I’m not going to remove the previous review because it’s all accurate still. That being said, FGU has more features and is better than classic, mostly.
However, even perhaps more importantly…. There is a piece of software called “Foundry” that is LOADS and HEAPS better than every other options out there. You pay 50 bucks for software as the host and it works just.. seamlessly. Check it out, it’s outstanding and incomprehensibly good. People connect via their browsers, but with NO exaggeration, it has 1/50th the load time of FGU or FG, and is so utterly beautiful. Check it out, you will be impressed.

CHESS with LASERS
I was a beta tester for the game during the summer, and felt it was really going somewhere. It turned out beyond my expectations! The game kept upgrading, both graphic-wise and strategy-wise, as the developer added new pieces and maps each time more complex and fun. Also, the addition of the level editor makes the game all the more replayable.
**You should definitely buy the game, even only to support the developer.
To make it short, the game is awesome!**

If you like to play chess and have some sci-fri of it, you have come to the correct place, this game have chess with laser that spice thing up.
Here at this game you can use different type of piece for your own each strategy.
What more you can create your own custom map and play with your friend to have some fun.

UNO
So this game is tons of fun, I gotta say, it’s fantastic to play with a group of friends because, as always, Uno is great fun. The card packs and new rulesets are also fantastic and really change up the pace of the game and make it even more fun, beyond what normal Uno can provide.
That’s about all it’s got going for it though. The coding of the game itself and the networking are absolutely atrocious. For absolutely no reason, people will drop from games, be incapable of fully loading into games, crash on startup, etc. etc.. Many core features (like calling out Uno) are broken to a degree that makes a potential win into a complete loss. Needless to say, the entire game is pretty much broken somewhere somehow despite the fact that it’s literally just Uno. I have no idea how you screw up Uno this badly, but these developers apparently made that a reality. If it was just one or two of these bugs in isolation, I could put up with it, but the quality of this game makes me feel like unpaid interns created it and that it’s literally just a project for Ubisoft interns to work on that generates them some cash on the side. There’s no care at all for quality put into it, which I mean sure, it can’t be that popular of a game and isn’t a flagship, but it still flagrantly displays it’s made by Ubisoft and is grossly broken. Not that I expect anything else out of Ubisoft, but for god’s sake, it’s just a damn card game, how do you make it so that just to play an online card game it can take 20 minutes of restarting games just to get it to work, only to then have people just disconnect at the start or mid-game for no reason despite them having no connection issues at all on their end?

For The King
For the King is a great tabletop rogue-like adventure game. It supports up to 3 players but you can also play solo and control 3 characters. The game a has a lot of replayability with there because different campaigns you can run and different team comps you can build.
Story-wise there isn’t much. Like it introduces one and it’s there, but it’s there’s not much to it and it’s uninteresting. At least I felt that way. I honestly can’t even remember what the main campaign was about.
This game is entirely based on RNG and that’s a huge turn off for some people. Most of the negative reviews are because this is the way the game is structured. If you like trying to maximize your RNG chances or succeeding a 20% chance roll then I highly recommend this game. If you don’t like the concept of RNG controlling everything then maybe stay away. Even if you aren’t too good at the game there’s a lot of game rule modifiers that make the game a lot easier.

Great Game With Friends
Overall, I would say this is a pretty good game if you have friends to play this with. I would never personally play this game by myself or with randoms, but find this game to be an enjoyable experience. To get a better idea of this game, think of D&D if it were laid out on an actual board for you. It works a lot like that in my opinion with options on predefined missions to go on and different modes to play on.

Puzzle With Your Friends

4. You want to teach your child perseverance and problem solving skills.

Wow! What a fun puzzle game.
There are only about 15 puzzles in the library as of this writing, but I hope the developer will be adding more. The puzzles are bright and easy on the eyes. They seem to be mostly from other games like In Vitra and Harvest Life.
It’s fairly simple, as you don’t need to rotate the pieces, but it is still quite nice. The work area is large enough to spread out the pieces if you collapse the menus out of your way and the puzzle area is distinctive. You can change the colors of the puzzle background to 5 different colors. You can snap pieces together outside of the puzzle placement area (some of the time), which is one of my favorite ways to do a puzzle: do a portion on the side, then place it in one big clump into the puzzle. However, not all pieces will snap together outside the puzzle. I found that the pieces will snap vertically pretty well, but not horizontally. And sometimes a piece looks like it is snapped in, but is not really snapped to the puzzle. I know the developer is working on improving this.

If you’re looking for an alternative for UNO, look no further this game is it what you want and way more interesting, with more option for multiplayers (up to 8).
Give love to the dev of this game he deserves it!! This game need to be lifted from “profile features Limited” 3 3

Fast and Clean! since Ubisoft UNO is really bad at handling multiplayer, this game become our game to play while chatting in my group. Really quick to set a game up and play.

Sudoku Zenkai
INTRO
If you are searching for a fine Sudoku game on Steam, like I was, you can stop doing so now.
ABOUT

Really versatile Sudoku simulator. The game offers small numbers to help you solve the puzzles and you can remove big numbers and small numbers you typed yourself alike. You can choose to use symbols instead of numbers and a lot of colour background options and methods of play. The daily challenges really want you to use your problem solving skills in these puzzles, so you better be prepared and practice a lot to master or else you may forget techniques to use. This game is recommended to all Sudoku fans, to ones who follow Sudoku Guy on Youtube or possibly the ones who want to extend their Steam library with more puzzle games into their collection.
