Chicas Gamers	Sandra Sánchez	Recommended	04-07-2022	A very recommended game. The gameplay is very well implemented as well as the difficulty which is really polished. The characters that appear on the scene will also exude their own life and personality, making us empathize with them. And, as a final touch, the graphic and sound aspects are excellent.	Read review
COGconnected	Jaz Sagoo	90 / 100	04-07-2022	Moss was PSVR’s standout title and therefore it’s fitting that Book II is the platform’s swan song. Even on old tech, Polyarc manages to forge an adventure for the ages. From the art direction to the emotional storytelling, each aspect of the original has been improved, making this a truly remarkable sequel.	Read review
Digital Trends	Giovanni Colantonio	4 / 5 stars	04-05-2022	Moss: Book 2 is a confident VR sequel that iterates on its predecessor just enough to make it feel new again.	Read review
Eurogamer	Ian Higton	Recommended	04-08-2022	Moss: Book 2 is without a doubt a game that deserves to be played, especially if you fell in love with the original. Its staggering beauty is reason enough to dust off your PSVR for one last adventure before the PSVR 2 comes out, even if I wouldn’t blame you for holding out in the hope of a PC VR or Quest release	Read review
Everyeye.it	Antonello Bello	8.8 / 10	04-05-2022	Moss: Book 2 is a loving and fascinating title even more than the first book.	Read review
Game Rant	Greysun Morales	3.5 / 5 stars	04-16-2022	Moss: Book 2 continues Quill’s story with even more satisfying puzzle-platforming action, but some issues hold it back from being exceptional.	Read review
GamingTrend	David Flynn	85 / 100	04-09-2022	Moss Book II is a game very deserving of your attention. Its novel use of VR as a medium is fascinating and helps to tell a heartfelt story with you and the adorable Quill at its center. It’s bigger and better than the first in many ways, but is greatly held back by small yet consistent and progress blocking bugs.	Read review
Geek Culture	Jake Su	8.4 / 10	04-25-2022	Everything is better in Moss: Book II, and Quill’s adventure makes for a fun time whether you are new to the series or returning for more, and it also makes the case that the PS VR 2 cannot come sooner.	Read review
God is a Geek	Sean Smith	9 / 10	04-06-2022	Moss: Book II is not the toughest of challenges, but this just lends to its accessibility, and regardless of difficulty it is an absolute treat from start to end.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Cory Wells	4 / 5 stars	04-05-2022	Moss: Book II builds on the revolutionary platform VR title that the original was, but ultimately keeps the game safe and grounded without letting it get out of hand.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Daniel Quesada	85 / 100	04-01-2022	‎The attractive proposal of the original remains intact in a game that does not innovate too much, but that continues to offer a magnificent experience of adventure and virtual reality.‎	Read review

IGN Italy	Diego Cinelli	8 / 10	04-08-2022	Moss: Book II, the second part of Quill’s journey is a much more complete and engaging experience. Building on the experience accumulated with the first chapter, Polyarc has built a sequel with ingenious puzzles and clashes with enemies that, although not particularly difficult , manage to maintain tension thanks to the variety of high interactions possible between the player, the environment, the enemies and the protagonist.	Read review
IGN Spain	Alejandro Morillas	9 / 10	04-05-2022	Moss Book II is a must-have game for PS VR owners thanks to its fascinating universe, unique premise and its way of binding the player to its world.	Read review
Jump Dash Roll	Matt Jordan	8 / 10	04-13-2022	A great sequel taking the series in a more vivid direction, it is well worth pushing past the timidness of the early game.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	Nick Gillett	8 / 10	04-05-2022	A delightful and hugely entertaining journey of puzzles, battles, and exploration that makes you feel a part of both its story and the living, breathing, miniaturised world of Moss.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Mark Kriska	9 / 10	04-06-2022	Moss: Book II is everything I look for in a game presented in an astounding VR package. While some aspects of the game feel held back by the current hardware of PSVR the journey and world make up for any shortcomings. I truly loved my time with Moss: Book II and cannot wait to see what is next for Quill.	Read review
Push Square	Graham Banas	8 / 10	04-04-2022	While Polyarc doesn’t get too wild and crazy with its second title, it didn’t need to considering how solid the foundation was with Moss. Book II takes the time to tighten up a few lingering issues from the first title, while providing more of the incredible world of Moss, albeit on a grander scale. Moss: Book II is further proof that Polyarc is among the best developers working in the VR space.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Táňa Matúšová	8.5 / 10	04-15-2022	Polyarc has managed to once again captivate us with their story about a tiny mouse with the courage of a lion. With new gameplay mechanics and wonderful environments, the game will make you sit up from your chair. Not only to appreciate all the details, but because of the limitations of PS VR hardware that make tracking movement very tricky.	Read review
SpazioGames	Silvio Mazzitelli	8.3 / 10	04-13-2022	Although PS VR feels like it didn’t age so well, Moss: Book II improves what the beloved original game did and is one of the best game for this platform to date.	Read review
The Games Machine	Nicolò Paschetto	8.7 / 10	04-13-2022	Seriously, how cute is Quill? Her adventure is quite the epic one though, and you should be ready for a strong emotional ride. By the way, the puzzles are perfectly integrated into the platform sections, and considering the lack of strong alternatives on PS VR right now, you should just thank Polyarc and give them your money.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Gareth Chadwick	9 / 10	04-06-2022	Moss: Book 2 expands and improves on its predecessor in every way. Whether it’s the emotional attachment you develop with Quill, the surprising twists the story goes through, or the inventiveness of the combat and puzzles, Moss: Book 2 is creative in a way that delights at every turn. If you’ve got PSVR, it’s pretty much essential.	Read review
Twinfinite	Chris Jecks	4 / 5 stars	04-04-2022	Hardware limitations and frustrations aside, Moss: Book II is another resounding success for Polyarc, despite a few strange missteps in finnicky weapon switching and minor quality of life tweaks that could come as part of a future update. The collectibles provide ample reason to keep playing after you’ve finished the story, and the puzzle-based environments are just as beautiful to look at as they are a satisfying enigma to crack.	Read review
Video Chums	A.J. Maciejewski	8 / 10	04-18-2022	Moss: Book II does an excellent job of building on the established formula of the first game while offering a much more diverse game world and a pitch-perfect blend of puzzles, platforming, and combat. However, it’s still somewhat short and unsatisfyingly unchallenging.	Read review
WellPlayed	Joshua Rizk	9.5 / 10	04-05-2022	Moss: Book II is an outstanding sequel, improving on the great foundations of the first game making it one of PSVR’s must-play titles, even in 2022.	Read review
