Moss: Book II

amazing game! interesting storyline and absolutely beautiful graphics

This is a superb follow on to Moss 1 VR. The developers did an unbelievable job keeping the great parts of Moss 1, enhancing them and creating new matter in the same genre that continues to hold your interest and experience the fun of Moss 1. If you even remotely liked the first edition, you are going to love this follow on product. If you played the first one, you NEED to get this one too! This version adds another mouse character and multiple weapons for use by both mice. In case my review for Moss 1 is not available, I copied it below for your convenience: Moss is a great VR game. The diorama like lands that you go through are clear, colorful, mood setting and appropriate. The play is intuitive with you playing the part of a “reader” who helps a little mouse named Quill battle to save her uncle and land. An innovative inclusion by the developers is that Quill often helps you out with gestures and sounds to determine your next direction or action. I used the Valve Index “knuckles” VR controllers and they were very responsive during the game. I accessed the game through my PC and Steam with the Vive Pro 2 headset. The game downloaded and played without any crashes or freezes. The commands are easy to learn with no noticeable time lag. The only MINOR problem was getting the shooting crabs to fire in the right direction. This is a great story that kept my interest throughout. The boss challenges are intense but due to the programmed save check points, they are not extremely frustrating. Once you figure out their weaknesses, they can be defeated. Buy this game and you won’t be disappointed!

If you enjoyed the first one, this is more of the same but with a welcome addition of some new weapons and mechanics for puzzles. Very well done. Everything is great about the game. If I'm reaching I can only think of 2 minor complaints: 1. The controls take a little getting used to with moving Quill around (again I'm reaching). 2. Overall the control hints when learner a new ability or getting a new weapon could have been a little clearer. It takes a bit of experimentation to understand how to use some of the new abilities correctly. In one instance I got a new weapon and the only hint was for me to press and hold a button. I was pressing and holding said button but nothing different was happening. I had to change weapons and change back to the new weapon I got and then it worked as intended. Again very small bug nothing game breaking at all. The game is also short clocking in at around 5-6 hours so the price may or may not be worth it depending on your situation. That being said, you're getting quality visuals, cute story, good VA/narration and cute/fun game play. Solid 3rd person VR game!
