" a sequel that plays it safe, and there were plenty of points at the beginning where I felt like I'd seen it all before, especially in regards to the enemies - but the emotional twists and the new gameplay mechanics introduced later on ensured I was left wanting more by the end." "Moss: Book 2 is without a doubt a game that deserves to be played, especially if you fell in love with the original," Ian wrote. Polyarc's sequel initially launched for PSVR earlier this year, and Eurogamer's resident virtual reality aficionado Ian Higton was delighted to revisit the series' cinematic blend of puzzling and combat in his glowing Moss: Book 2 review.
