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.

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.

A short but lovely jump and run adventure that makes you ask for more of the same. For those who hungered for some good VR gaming, this is a must buy. For anyone else, the 30€ might be a bit steep for just 3 hours of story.

On the one hand, one could argue that Moss is a success in simply leaving me wanting for more. There is some truth to that, as this is one of the most engrossing stories I have played in VR or any other platform. The presentation is top-notch, the storytelling has charm in spades and the puzzles make excellent use of the VR technology. A little more maturation in the combat and gameplay coupled with a longer tale would have made Moss an absolute treasure, but what we have here is still one of the most endearing experiences in virtual reality to date.

Moss in an amazing adventure that any PSVR owners should try. The first game from Polyarc Games is an inspiring fairytale that allows you to create a connection with its protagonist Quill and experience a good mix of puzzle, exploration and storytelling in a beautiful world you won't wanna leave anymore.

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 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.

Moss takes you on a virtual fairy tale as you aid a brave mouse in her adventures. It's short, but will leave a lasting impression on you in a game that can only be experienced in VR.

Moss ranks among games that were developed for VR not only for the effect, but to utilize it as a gameplay tool. This unique experience has only been spoiled by the short gameplay time.

Starting with its world building atmosphere and simple but polished gameplay, the addition of your presence via PlayStation VR takes Moss to the next level. It is an example of how genres can grow and evolve and how our participation as the player can become more personal and connected.

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.
