Moss video game after book 29/20/2023 ![]() PSVR has seen some excellent titles over the years. ![]() It’s a sequel to one of the very best games on PSVR and definitely worth the price of admission. It could be argued that £32.99 is a pretty steep asking price, especially given the original game is £24.99 but as stated above this is a longer experience with bigger environments, more weapons and more intricate puzzles. Moss Book II is longer, clocking in around 5-6 hours and then also retains the same replay value in terms of collectables while thankfully ditching the gold trophy requirement for no deaths. The original game could be completed in around three hours, with some replay value in hunting down collectables and completing the game without dying if you wanted the platinum trophy. However, Polyarc has done a superb job of even making the likes of me feel smart and like I have accomplished something.Īnother upgrade for the sequel is the length of the experience. I often suck at puzzle games and this can be extra frustrating in VR if you are having to remove the headset every five minutes to consult a guide. ![]() You reprise your role as the Reader, who is able to manipulate items in the world to help Quill on her journey. While combat is more frequent in Book II, there are still plenty of puzzles to solve. chakrams can hit items from range and the hammer can smash metal surfaces. The sword allows you to perform a dash attack which can double as a way to reach certain areas. All three weapons also possess valuable skills in puzzle solving. The highlight for me was the large hammer, but I often found myself reverting back to the trusty sword. Quill will now gain access to two additional weapons as you progress on your journey and each one is both useful in its own way and fun to use. ![]() Quill herself remains unchanged, but even four years on from the original game I was still amazed at even her most minor animations. We start in smaller set pieces, much like we saw in the first outing, but as you progress further into the game these areas become more vast and sprawling. Environments are more elaborate and detailed, almost tricking your brain into thinking that you are looking at a diorama in front of you. I spoke about the excellent visuals and animation in the first title, but this has been improved upon in Book II. We also start with a neat recap of the previous adventure, which was welcome given the amount of time between releases. It would be easy for story beats to miss in this format, but it is so unique, quirky and well done that I really enjoyed it again. The narrative is once again driven by the narrator, who reads from the book in front of you. While the first game may have been light on story twists, Book II manages to craft some genuinely moving moments that left me hoping we see a third entry in the future. Quill and her allies are now tasked with gathering the five pieces of glass before her enemies, whose aim is to wreak havoc on the world of Moss. Moss Book II picks up immediately following the events of the first game.
