Moss: Book II Reviews
The greatest success of Moss: Book II is not that it advertises PlayStation VR or that it stands out as a VR experience, but that it hits the necessary quality levels to advertise the PlayStation brand in general.

Moss: Book 2 is a loving and fascinating title even more than the first book.

Moss: Book II doesn't lose any momentum and directly continues the touching story from the first title. It expands gameplay in new and fun ways and immerses you in its fairy tale world quite effectively. While it's a fun and highly polished affair, it still plays it a bit safe in some regards, but that's easy to forget when the end product looks and plays this well. Much like its predecessor, Moss: Book II is a must-play title in VR.
Seriously, how cute is Quill? Her adventure is quite the epic one though, and you should be ready for a strong emotional ride. By the way, the puzzles are perfectly integrated into the platform sections, and considering the lack of strong alternatives on PS VR right now, you should just thank Polyarc and give them your money.

The attractive proposal of the original remains intact in a game that does not innovate too much, but that continues to offer a magnificent experience of adventure and virtual reality.

Moss Book II is a game very deserving of your attention. Its novel use of VR as a medium is fascinating and helps to tell a heartfelt story with you and the adorable Quill at its center. It's bigger and better than the first in many ways, but is greatly held back by small yet consistent and progress blocking bugs.
Book II might not boast the widest breadth of content nor insane mechanical complexity, but a rare few titles can dare to match its earnest warmth and overwhelming charm.
Polyarc has managed to once again captivate us with their story about a tiny mouse with the courage of a lion. With new gameplay mechanics and wonderful environments, the game will make you sit up from your chair. Not only to appreciate all the details, but because of the limitations of PS VR hardware that make tracking movement very tricky.

Moss: Book II serves as a perfect sequel to the original, though it doesn't introduce as many new things as you might want.
Moss: Book II is a natural continuation of Polyarc's debut chapter. The game world is larger, the opportunities for interaction have grown, and the deep connection you develop with Quill is more evident and sought after. New enemies, weapons and abilities make combat and puzzles more varied, interesting and engaging. The environments are richer and more surprising, inviting us to fully immerse ourselves in a fairytale world. But, just like the first time, it seems that the game stops just when it could have given us so much more. The controls can be a little cumbersome at times and unfortunately expose PSVR's shortcomings, but Moss Book 2 is still one of the best experiences you can have on PlayStation.

Quill isn't done saving the world yet, and in this second installment, Quill is hunted by a winged tyrant named Tylan. The story may not immediately be called very strong, but there are certainly some improvements to be seen in how this game is put together. For example, some beautiful new areas have been added and there is also an update in weapons. All in all, it's a great game to play and we can only hope that we don't have to wait another four years for a sequel.

Moss Book2 is longer, more versatile and graphically better than it's predecessor. Quill (and companions) are adorable as ever, but the even bigger stakes and more interesting puzzles make this follow-up even more interesting. The release together with PS VR2 is welcome and makes this one of the better starter-games of the launch line-up.

Moss and Moss Book II offer a unique and immersive experience for players on the PSVR 2, with some minor flaws in navigation and combat. Overall, they are must-play titles for adventure game enthusiasts on the platform.
Everything is better in Moss: Book II, and Quill’s adventure makes for a fun time whether you are new to the series or returning for more, and it also makes the case that the PS VR 2 cannot come sooner.
Although PS VR feels like it didn't age so well, Moss: Book II improves what the beloved original game did and is one of the best game for this platform to date.

Moss: Book 2 builds upon its predecessor nicely with a captivating world and entertaining platforming, let down primarily by the PSVR's aging tech.
A delightful and hugely entertaining journey of puzzles, battles, and exploration that makes you feel a part of both its story and the living, breathing, miniaturised world of Moss.
Moss: Book II, the second part of Quill's journey is a much more complete and engaging experience. Building on the experience accumulated with the first chapter, Polyarc has built a sequel with ingenious puzzles and clashes with enemies that, although not particularly difficult , manage to maintain tension thanks to the variety of high interactions possible between the player, the environment, the enemies and the protagonist.

While Polyarc doesn’t get too wild and crazy with its second title, it didn't need to considering how solid the foundation was with Moss. Book II takes the time to tighten up a few lingering issues from the first title, while providing more of the incredible world of Moss, albeit on a grander scale. Moss: Book II is further proof that Polyarc is among the best developers working in the VR space.
Hardware limitations and frustrations aside, Moss: Book II is another resounding success for Polyarc, despite a few strange missteps in finnicky weapon switching and minor quality of life tweaks that could come as part of a future update. The collectibles provide ample reason to keep playing after you’ve finished the story, and the puzzle-based environments are just as beautiful to look at as they are a satisfying enigma to crack.
