You can shimmy along ledges, leap small distances and jump up to some slightly higher platforms. The climbing mechanics are largely tight and precise and only rarely let you down, where sometimes Quill won’t grab on to ledges that are seemingly easily in reach. Your time with the game will be spent petting Quill until she gets annoyed at you…Īll of the above mechanics are smooth and fun to do. Your time with the game will be spent doing three things: platforming, fighting, and puzzle-solving. To put it simply, Moss is an absolute joy to play. It’s innovative, helpful, but most importantly just too damn cute. When you look directly at her she will point to a location and play a mini game of charades with you to try to tell you what to do. When you’re in an area for a long time, she will wave at you to get your attention.

You can interact with Quill in a variety of ways that really reinforces her relationship with you and also just make you go “AMy favourite interaction though is how she tries to mime to you how to progress.
Despite only ‘talking’ during the cutscenes and the parts that are read to you between chapters, Quill has an amazing personality that also comes through her actions in-game. I was rooting for her the entire time and it’s charming how she celebrates little victories that you achieve as your “twofold”, as the game calls you. She is so adorable that you just instantly care about her and feel like you need to be extremely careful to take care of her, which is exactly what you do. Quill is a little star and I believe she could, and should, be considered for one of the best protagonists in a video game. The emotional parts are just as impactful as well, thanks to some seriously impressive diversity between the characters – a great feat considering it’s all one voice actor. Every one the actor’s portrayals are brilliantly distinctive and make the story feel fun and exciting. The voice acting is amazing, where the narrator takes on the role of each and every character as if reading out a children’s book to a young child and acting the scene out. In general, the plot progression largely takes place between chapters, where you, The Reader, are transported to a great library of sorts and you listen to the narrator tell the story as you flick through the pages of what looks like an ancient tale.
The story is just like the fairy tales you can read to younger people and so would also make a very good game for younger players. I couldn’t help but feel completely involved in this fantastical journey in an amazing world thanks to the magic of VR. It’s a very simple but fantastic and moving story that is gripping from start to finish. Unaware of the meaning of the relic, Quill takes it to her uncle and shows it him, where in a panic, he takes off and gets himself captured, sparking the journey of the game. Quill finds the glass relic and so is connected to the player, or ‘The Reader’, a sort of omnipotent being that is tied to her story and can manipulate the environment to help her in the journey ahead. The arcane planned to use the glass relic for evil, and in defeating the King and his army, they brought in their evil army and took over the castle, led by the evil serpent Sarffog. The champion was killed in an attempt to hold back the forces of the arcane after they had driven the animals away from their peaceful castle.
I don’t usually like to give an opinion at the start of a review but this game is amazing, here’s why…ĭear Reader, our story begins when our hero Quill discovers a glass relic that was once held by the champion of the world Moss. As the Reader, you control the movement of Quill and must physically interact with the environment whilst combining both of your abilities to beat all the obstacles and enemies in your way. You play as The Reader, a floating entity who must work in unison with the true hero of this magical tale, Quill. It was built from the ground up for VR and uses the hardware’s capabilities amazingly. Moss was originally released on Feb 28th 2018 for PSVR, with Oculus support a few months later, to critical acclaim.
This review will be a fresh look at the base game with a new section to discuss this new DLC, although we do already have a review of Moss if you want to take a look at our original review here:
