VR Tabletop Game Review


On the topic of tabletop RPG's, I purchased a new VR game yesterday called “Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown” for PSVR. I've been having a lot of fun playing this with the few hours I've been able to put in so far. This is both single player and multiplayer if you want to adventure with friends, but I haven't tried it with anyone else yet. The game involves you sitting in front of a magical table with an animated crow that is your GM. The table itself transforms in front of you, building cities, desert islands, castles, caves, pirate ships, and more, right before your eyes. You manage a party of 3 characters, which are like little painted miniatures that have small animations. You can pick them up with a little wand-grappling device that you hold and look at them up close to see their detail. The game involves a story that the GM-crow narrates, and she (the GM) uses her voice to act out the various NPC's you encounter. Just like a normal TTRPG, the GM presents you with situations and choices, prompting you to act. You then get to move your characters around on the board tactically, using their action cards to perform various abilities, which you choose on leveling up. It's all quite strategic, with a very fun and immersive story, and the challenge varies comfortably. More details soon!
