   Oh wow. This is the kind of experience I bought PSVR for. I had high expectations for Moss and yet the game exceeded them. Moss is beautifulOh wow. This is the kind of experience I bought PSVR for. I had high expectations for Moss and yet the game exceeded them. Moss is beautiful in every way. The gorgeous world, the calming ambient sounds, the enchanting music, the heartbreakingly cute little mouse Quill; all together that alone puts this game at the front of the VR games pack. Then the game play itself is satisfying and fun. You steer Quill with your controller stick and your own hand, represented by a sphere of light, by moving the controller. This feels like you're truly cooperating, a fact that the game also reminds you of in other different ways, like you giving Quill the world's most adorable high five after job well done.
   
   It's a platform puzzle game with combat, all of which escalates in a kind pace from learning the first step to more challenging puzzles, fights and jump action sequences. There were fights I died over and over, and there were timed jump puzzles I failed at an embarrassing amount of times, but I didn't feel frustration over it. I felt that all the times I failed it was because I didn't perform well enough. The controls and level design are solid and were not to blame. Not entirely at least, there were some moments towards the end where you kind of had to die once to understand what you were supposed to do. Regarding the controls there was one spot I had to spin a thing that for some reason was annoyingly difficult to turn, but for the most part it was smooth sailing.
   
   It's a short game, but I feel like it would be enjoyable to play again. There are a couple of things I know I missed that I want to find, and some tantalizing hidden trophies I'd like to sniff out.
   
   Finally a massive congratulations to the narrator Morla Gorrondona. She did an amazing job. Amazing. Probably half the magic of Moss is how she tells the story. Polyarc struck gold casting her.
   
   When you step into the world of Moss, remember to pause now and then and look around you. The world truly feels alive when you look up at the distant treetops, listening to the sounds of the forest. I'm going back there right now.… Expand

   Hopefully this changes the game a bit in terms of how developers think about what VR can do. The game is great: beautiful, charming, and funHopefully this changes the game a bit in terms of how developers think about what VR can do. The game is great: beautiful, charming, and fun with a nice soundtrack. But it feels like more than that as well, it's definitely a look into the future of VR. The 3rd person experience is very satisfying and less stressful than a lot of other VR games out there. A must buy for PSVR owners, this is why we paid all that money for the headset.… Expand

Appropriate for all ages and just the right amount of combat and platform puzzle solving. The game looks great and controls well. The story is charming and enjoyable. As somebody who normally plays Action games and FPS I was surprised and captivated. Can't wait for the second saga to unfold. Took my time and the adventure lasted about 6 hours… Expand

   I unfortunately cannot give a full 10 to this game even tough i want to because it's a wonderfull one but lacks on 2 vital points
   
   first oneI unfortunately cannot give a full 10 to this game even tough i want to because it's a wonderfull one but lacks on 2 vital points
   
   first one would be longevity. i beat the game within around 6 hours, finding most collectibles in the game on the first run, for a pro gamer it could be done withing 4 hours on first attempt, for the price i would expect a solid 10 hours of gameplay. VR needs content to take off and moss could be the kind of game that makes people take the dive
   
   second one would be the lack of diversity wich could be related to the length of the game. 3 different kind of monsters is way too little and gives close to no challenge
   
   as for the soundtrack, the graphic and the story. SOLID 10, if the second part fixes the shortcomings i mentionned, Moss will be a perfect game… Expand
