Moss Book II

Moss: Book II is the sequel to the VR action-adventure puzzle game Moss, developed and published by Polyarc. It was released in March 2022 for PlayStation 4 with PlayStation VR compatibility, followed by ports to Meta Quest 2 and Windows later that year. A PlayStation 5 version with support for the new PlayStation VR2 headset arrived in February 2023.

Here’s a breakdown of Moss: Book II:

  • Story: Picking up where the first game left off, Quill, the courageous young mouse, is now being hunted by those who seek to steal the mysterious Glass she possesses. She embarks on a new journey to uncover the secrets of the Glass and defeat the Arcane, a ruthless force threatening the peace of the Moss world. Once again, you act as her guide and partner.

  • Gameplay: Similar to the first game, Moss: Book II uses a mix of first-person and third-person perspectives. You see the world through a disembodied hand and glowing orb, while controlling Quill who navigates the environments and solves puzzles.

    However, Book II introduces some new gameplay elements: * Quill’s Abilities: Quill now has new abilities like climbing, allowing for more vertical exploration, and wielding a hammer to defeat enemies. * Player’s Abilities: As the player, you gain the ability to create vine bridges and destroy objects by gripping them with your VR controllers, adding a new layer of environmental manipulation.

  • Critical Reception: Moss: Book II has received positive reviews, praised for its improvements on the first game’s formula, engaging story, charming characters, and even more immersive VR experience.

If you enjoyed Moss VR and are looking for a continuation of Quill’s adventures with new challenges and mechanics, Moss: Book II is a great choice, especially if you have a VR headset compatible with the game.
