D&D’s new turn based tactics PC game should be a delight – but without VR, I’m not finding the fun

Demeo x Dungeons and Dragons: Battlemarked is a cooperative multiplayer strategy game set in D&D's Forgotten Realms, available on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Meta Quest, primarily designed for virtual reality (VR). The game features turn-based strategy gameplay with players choosing from various D&D classes and species, represented as virtual miniatures. It is not a virtual tabletop or a direct adaptation of D&D 5e rules. The graphics are low in polygon count but rich in character, and the game emphasizes quick play sessions without the discomfort of VR-induced nausea. The control scheme reflects its VR origins, requiring players to pick up and place figures, which feels cumbersome on a flat screen compared to other games. The game is set to release on November 20, and the reviewer notes that their experience has been limited to single-player due to illness in the office.

GTA 5’s character-swapping system was a stroke of genius that was supposed to feature in San Andreas 9 years earlier—this masterclass mod makes that dream a reality

Marvel's Spider-Man 2, released on PS5 in late 2023 and set to launch on Steam in early 2024, features a character-swapping mechanic similar to that of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V). The character-switching mechanic in GTA V was first discovered by a user named Silent on GTA Forums in 2012 and allows players to switch between three protagonists: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. A modder named Kaizo has developed a project called Real Multiple Protagonists, which utilizes Rockstar's original source code to enhance this mechanic. Kaizo explains that while GTA: San Andreas had a two-player mode that allowed character switching, it required extensive coding to unlock its full potential. His mod draws inspiration from GTA V's aerial transition and aims to replicate it, although it is limited to free roam mode without mission code. Kaizo faced technical challenges, particularly with camera transitions and UI development, but found the process rewarding. His work has revived interest in San Andreas' two-player mode, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the game and the impact of modding.

Arc Raiders is a multiplayer game that features thrilling encounters with terrifying robots, fostering both camaraderie and betrayal among players.

Players capture intense battles against robotic foes and other players, with notable moments including a massive Matriarch and a stealthy Leaper. The trend of cinematic storytelling is also seen in other games like Helldivers 2.

Arc Raiders players are already impatient for more content. Here’s 8 things we think the game could do to expand

In the three weeks since its launch, 39% of Arc Raiders players have collected loot exceeding 1 million in value, and 16.5% have navigated the elevator and subway back to Speranza over 100 times. The game is receiving positive engagement, with players experimenting with mechanics against the Arc. A winter-themed snowfall map and new quests are planned for December. Suggested expansions include permanent unlocks for blueprints, an additional skill point above the current level cap, clearer Expedition Project information, Arc hacking, buildable temporary structures, spontaneous squad formation, handheld detectors for resources, friendly Arc companions, surveillance devices, and a fishing system. A photography system could allow players to capture visuals and create quests around photographing Arc. Increasing the variety and challenge of encounters, particularly with the Shredder, is recommended. Additionally, a dedicated co-op PvE mode with various gameplay formats and custom game types could enhance the player experience.
