Moss Reviews
Moss made a wonderful first impression and never let up. Spending four hours with Quill in this VR world was a joy, and no one element or environment type wears out its welcome. Its mix of combat and puzzles hooked me quickly, always kept things fresh, and left me wanting more.
A magical experience that is comfortable enough for VR newcomers to enjoy, while intricate and immersive enough to thrill VR veterans.
Moss tells an interesting story with an adorable protagonist. I count it among my favorite VR experiences
Moss is not so much a game as it is an experience. Polyarc sets an immensely high bar for storytelling in VR, exuding careful and deliberate artistry in every aspect — sound design, lighting, camera, visuals — to create a world worthy of straining your back to see the area in 360 degrees. In every sense, I felt like I was inside one of those beautiful, gilded storybooks. The only thing missing was the smell of the forest and old paper.
Moss makes it easy for you to connect to its adventurous, adorable protagonist as you accompany her on a whimsical journey though a surprisingly inventive platformer.
Moss is an exceptionally thoughtful, beautiful and unique experience.
Moss is my favorite VR experience so far.
Clever, different, but sadly all too brief. Moss might not be the singular game to justify the purchase of a PlayStation VR, but it is one of a growing number of PSVR releases that build up a decent list of reasons to pick one up.
Moss is one of those games that will not only re-introduce your VR headset to your entertainment center, but makes the argument that it should be there permanently. With fantastic world building and an endearing protagonist, Moss hits way above its weight — creating one of the few captivating, must-play stories on VR.
Moss is one of the most interesting experiences ever done on VR and has a main character that we deeply love: Quill. It may not be perfect due to the restrains of PS VR, but despite that, it's an excellent portrait of VR narrative and gameplay.

"Moss" creates another model for a successful VR game.
Moss is magic. It's an impressive game, not just for the excellent use of PlayStation VR, and at the same time it's the perfect way to spread what VR is capable of.

Moss is one of the very first surprises of 2018 for PlayStation VR owners, a little big adventure filled with puzzles brilliantly designed, that put its focus on the main character, a little rat, that moves around levels designed as doll houses. It's biggest flaw it's that it's a very short game, but one you will embrace and love for a long time.

Moss is a fantastic game with a story that will draw players into its world and it has some great visuals to back it up. While there is some death and darkness to the title, I would still consider it a family friendly title, but maybe not something for the young, young kiddies.
I sincerely hope Polyarc is successful enough with Moss to make a sequel, because I'm not ready to say goodbye to Quill. This could easily be a flagship series for PlayStation VR.
Moss is an absolute joy to play, proving that a great VR experience doesn't always require that you flail your arms around while fending off bouts of motion sickness. It's a wonderfully realised puzzle platformer with clever twists, beautiful backdrops, and an adorable hero, making PlayStation VR even more tempting for prospective buyers.
One of the most impressive PlayStation VR games so far, in terms of both its technical achievements and the sheer joy of playing it.
Moss bridges the gap between observation and participation. It creates a bond between the player and Quill, making you a part of her story. There's a sense of pride and accomplishment for everything Quill does, not because you are her, but because you are her friend. Polyarc has built an amazing adventure with a grand sense of scale, bonding players with the smallest hero as they send her out beyond the safe walls of her tiny mouse village. Even if it ends too soon, Moss is one of the most memorable and immersive VR adventures I've ever been on, but more importantly, it's the best friendship I've ever had with a VR mouse.
Throwing in the heart-melting cuteness of ASL fluent Quill, a career-best soundtrack from Jason Graves, and an emotionally resonant story, Polyarc’s upgrade exists to remind you why Moss was one of PSVR’s must plays.
Though a significant amount of time has passed since its original release resulting it not being quite as fresh as it was and its relatively brief five hour or so duration might frustrate those looking for a more substantial morsel, Moss nevertheless enthrals thanks to its extremely likeable heroine, superbly judged platforming adventure gameplay and sublime VR presentation. If you've yet to hop on the Moss train, now is the time to address that.
