Critic Reviews for Moss: The Forgotten Relic
Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an incredibly charming fairy tale, and aside from a couple of minor issues, this is a very smooth remake that doesn’t feel compromised by breaking free of its VR-exclusive origins.
Even if Moss: The Forgotten Relic loses a little bit of the personal magic that it's become known for with the removal of VR, Quill’s charming adventure absolutely manages to stand on its own two paws as a slightly more traditional puzzle platformer.
The world of Moss is rife with potential. Quill is about as endearing a main character as there is and there is room for so much more.
Moss: The Forgotten Relic is a fantastic fantasy adventure, with some truly beautiful visuals and endearing characters. The first half of the release might drag it down a bit, but with things picking up after a couple of hours, this is a tale well-worth your time.
Despite a number of minor downsides, this is a successful collection of two well-made games'originally designed for VR'that lost something in the transition to flat screens but also gained something in the process. The charming fairy tale about a little mouse will delight not only children but also parents, and even experienced gamers shouldn't find themselves bored.

The original game cuts off somewhat unceremoniously so being able to immediately swap over to Book II greatly improves that element of the presentation. The move to non-VR displays clearly hasn't been the easiest for a game so inherently built for VR. And even with that in mind, there are some clear areas where this misses the mark. Still, if you can get past the awkward moments, the Switch 2 makes a great window through which you The Reader can go along with this little mouse on her tiny adventure.
I was completely drawn into the world of "Moss: The Forgotten Relic," because even without VR, it possesses a magical quality that captivates you and makes you lose track of time.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic doesn't completely replace the virtual reality experience. The absence of a headset reduces the sense of presence, makes exploration more direct, and weakens some of the closeness between the reader and Quill. It also highlights the simplicity of the first book, especially in its combat and the low variety of enemies. Even so, the charm remains. Quill continues to be an extremely charismatic protagonist, the world retains its visual identity, and the relationship between character and player still produces moments capable of bringing a smile. When Book II enters the scene, the adventure gains more variety, better puzzles, bosses, and a more elaborate narrative.
