- Moss is an incredible puzzle-based adventure which uses VR to create a unique and stunning experience, all while featuring one of the most adorable heroes to come along in years. Featuring creative puzzles, a simple, but heartfelt story, some fun platforming and action sequences, Moss is a must have for any VR lover’s game catalog.
Richard Allen · Apr 06, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Even so, Moss is a quaint and (once again) comfy experience in its own right. Besides the lack of any meaningful graphical or gameplay upgrades from the PSVR1 version (or worse yet, a cheaper upgrade alternative, as both this game and the sequel must be purchased separately without the ability to transfer progress), the only quibble is the simplistic combat, which is satisfying enough to control but suffers from a lack of moves and a bigger lack of enemies. The traversal and puzzle elements, however, are frequently kept fresh thanks to new power-ups obtained and new head-scratchers to solve as the journey continues…plus the storybook visuals combined with the unobtrusive VR effects combine into an experience that truly is a showcase game for the new PSVR2, one that guarantees most people of all ages can appreciate, rather than hurl.
Jorge S. Fernández · Mar 17, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Gameplay remains fun and interesting, with its unique combination of traditional combat and platforming with Quill, paired with you, as 'the Reader', actively exerting influence over the world.
Graham Banas · Mar 05, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Moss is an excellent game that completely changed the way I feel about the platformer genre. An adorable main character, striking presentation, and perfectly balanced gameplay far outweighed my minor bouts of VR discomfort to create a truly special experience.
Jason Dailey · Mar 03, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - I don’t think Moss is going to be the game to sell people on new tech. However, this is a well made and super fun VR platformer. It really shows a lot of positive things about the platform. From clever puzzles to fun combat, to the lovely world, Moss easily met my expectations. The second book, whenever that comes, should really push the game from “great” into “amazing”. I absolutely can’t wait to see more.
Samuel Guglielmo · Mar 20, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Billed as the first part of Quill's storybook adventures, Moss showcases some of the best ideas to grace the PlayStation VR since its inception. Not only is it comfortable and easy to get into, but the forest world that Quill calls her home is a character all its own.
Kai Powell · Mar 09, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Moss will enchant you and win you over with its undeniable charm, artistic beauty, and the well-crafted 3D world. You’ll fall in love with Quill, whose tiny frame packs a big heart that will leave you sad to say goodbye to her by game’s end. This is possibly one of the first VR games I have played where I can honestly say that by strapping on my VR headset, I felt like I was escaping into a truly real, alternate world. This is one VR bedtime story that you’ll never want to put down.
Patrick Anderson · Mar 09, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Overall, I really enjoyed everything about Moss. It’s a great game for both adults and kids and for me it’s the first VR game where I feel like everyone I know needs to play it. Seriously I keep trying to get all my friends, even the non-gamers, to come over and give it a try. I really hope Polyarc continues this game because there are still a lot of stories to be told about Quill and her adventures.
Robin Baird · Mar 07, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - So, should you play Moss? The answer is a resounding, yes! If you own a VR headset you owe it to yourself to purchase this game. I’m begging you to not let the two hour play time deter you. This is why VR was invented. I felt like I was there, and I loved it! Every heart-warming minute of it!
Mike Vito · Mar 05, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Moss is not so much a game as it is an experience. Polyarc sets an immensely high bar for storytelling in VR, exuding careful and deliberate artistry in every aspect — sound design, lighting, camera, visuals — to create a world worthy of straining your back to see the area in 360 degrees. In every sense, I felt like I was inside one of those beautiful, gilded storybooks. The only thing missing was the smell of the forest and old paper.
