Polyarc really has created the perfect game for PSVR here. It's not just something that youngsters and adults alike can enjoy; it's also an experience you'll want to share with as many people as possible. This is VR that's capable of changing people's perception of the platform from one that's a novelty, to one that's a legitimate, exciting progression for gaming as a whole.Click to expand...
Moss is sublime throughout, but it's so good that you'll wish there was more of it. Much more of it. Clocking in at just a few hours, the game feels like the prologue for a much bigger adventure, and it'll leave you yearning for more. As a virtual reality experience, only minor technological limitations detract from its lush fantasy world and cunning use of the medium. There's no doubt that Polyarc's built the foundations for something truly special here; it now needs to write a few more chapters in Quill's tale.Click to expand...
If you own a PlayStation VR then there is no question: you must play Moss. Given the length we wouldn't go so far as to say this is a game worth buying the hardware for, but it is the most compelling post-launch title so far and a hugely encouraging sign of things to come.Click to expand...
Moss is a joyous, delightful experience that is both captivating and enchanting. It's one of those games that leaves you with an indelible smile on your face from beginning to end. It's just a pity that the end comes so soon.Click to expand...
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.Click to expand...
Moss is the hidden gem the PSVR never knew it needed. From the first moment we played the game at E3 almost a year ago until we saw the closing credits roll, Quill's adventure has captivated our hearts and minds. Moss strikes that perfect balance between tense, action-packed moments of combat with slow, methodical puzzles that require you to rethink the way you interact with video games through the power of VR. Polyarc has crafted one of PSVR's most essential games to date.Click to expand...
Moss is my favorite VR experience so far. This is partly due to the fact that it's extremely gentle. Because it doesn't task you with moving through the environment, it's an accessible VR game for people who are prone to getting motion sick. The world's beauty is also a draw.Click to expand...
Moss is the beautiful opening to a promising tale of an adorable mouse and her silent helper. It's an artfully crafted game that you will want more of--more content, more story, and more depth. Moss feels like an opening chapter that's trying too hard to be a self contained story. It got the ball rolling but fumbled when it came to bring all the pieces together. If Polyarc can follow through with their (apparent) plans for timely episodic installments to the world of Moss, and continue building on this foundation, this could be the start of a world you'll look forward to losing yourself in any time there's a new story to be told.Click to expand...
Moss bridges the gap between traditional games and virtual reality experiences. It's an adventure game brimming with charm, crafty puzzles, and a fully realized fairy tale world that makes you feel as if you are really there. Moss is proof that virtual reality games can redefine well-known genres.Click to expand...
Moss is a flawlessly crafted experience starring a character that absolutely deserves to be the face of modern VR. Every inch of the world shows attention to detail, and a story is woven that draws you in, making you truly invested in the world and in Quill as a person. All that can be wished for is that there was more. Get on that, Polyarc.Click to expand...
Moss galt von Anfang an als echter Geheimtipp für PlayStation VR, das sich durch sein nicht ganz konventionelles Konzept von den meisten Spielen im VR-Bereich abhebt. Und es wird euch auch nicht enttäuschen. Auch wenn die Story mit seinen 3 bis 4 Stunden recht schnell wieder vorbei ist, denkt man immer mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht daran zurück. Die kleine Heldin Quill punktet von Anfang an mit einem enormen Sympathiefaktor, gepaart mit niedlich umgesetzten Ideen, innovativen Gameplay-Ansätzen, einer wunderschönen Spielwelt und einem verträumten Soundtrack, mit denen man sich in der Welt von Moss verlieren kann.Click to expand...
Although it is a title as short as it is simple, Moss still manages to ensnare our body and soul in an adventure that we would never want to end: the PlayStation VR becomes the gateway to a world that is amazing and enveloping, to explore in the company of one of the most "living" virtual characters of all time.Click to expand...
