Overview
- Polyarc has repackaged Moss and Moss: Book 2 as a flat‑screen release titled Moss: The Forgotten Relic that will arrive on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X on July 16.
- Early reviews based on prerelease builds, including a Polygon review on PS5 using a code from Polyarc, praise the collection’s environmental puzzles and the bond with protagonist Quill while warning of some technical limits in the port.
- Reviewers say the port’s fixed camera and the dual-stick control split — one stick for Quill and the other for the Reader’s hand — can make judging jumps and precision platforming frustrating in places.
- Combat is described as the weakest gameplay pillar, with repetitive arena fights that only loosen up after Quill gains new weapons in the second half of the package.
- The flat‑screen release expands access for players who avoid VR because of motion sickness or hardware limits and could broaden the series’ audience, though critics note that some charm tied to VR’s direct viewpoint and interaction is reduced.
