Moss: The Forgotten Relic

The cutest game I've played in a long time. I really can't recommend it enough.

É um jogo super fofo e com uma história e narrativa bem interessante. Não é do tipo de jogo que você precise pensar muito para jogar, ele é bem leve e gostoso para passar o tempo. Por enquanto não é uma história longa mas mesmo assim foi ótimo. Super recomendo :) Rodou super tranquilo no meu note tmb, não acho que ele deva ser "pesado" portanto acredito que mais gente pode desfrutar dele.

This is by far my favorite in a genre I like to call "One-player Co-op". Taking the role of a spirit guide, you interact with the environment while also controlling Quill at the same time. It allows for some interesting puzzles and incredible boss fights. The environments are fantastic, the story is excellent, and I would take Quill everywhere with me if I could.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is a wonderful adventure filled with a magical, mystical atmosphere, where each new level feels like a beautiful diorama through which our tiny protagonist makes her way. In fact, experiencing this game brought back a profound sense of nostalgia - it made me feel as though I were revisiting the Woods of Light in Rayman 2. Quill is a truly remarkable little mouse. Everything around her is larger than life: gargantuan trees too vast to take in all at once, blades of grass swaying like thick green curtains, and ancient stone statues that constantly remind you of creatures far greater than herself. And yet, she moves through this grand world with the spirit and courage of a giant. Her movements are fluid, her animations highly expressive and full of character, and, at times, delightfully funny. While the core story is short and easy to follow, it feels remarkably fresh thanks to its framing: the game places you right in the middle of an enchanting library, sitting in front of a massive interactive book. As you turn the pages, the narrator’s warm, slightly hoarse voice breathes life into the tale. It makes the experience engaging and, at times, truly heartbreaking - especially when you contrast the grand scale of the world with the sheer peril our tiny protagonist faces on her classic hero's journey. The world she travels through carries a fairytale quality that sparks the imagination, offering pleasant, moderate challenges in the form of logic puzzles we solve side-by-side with Quill. Occasionally, we are drawn into combat against mechanical beasts, and the fighting itself is a visual treat. It is never overly punishing, but it feels satisfying every time we manage to keep our brave little mouse from harm. Quill’s moves - though mostly limited to strikes and dodges - vary between weapons and can be chained into simple, elegant combinations that let her dance gracefully between enemies. We can also lend a helping hand through our spiritual bond with her, which adds a lovely variety to the encounters and gently elevates the stakes. The controls feel natural and are easy to master on the fly. However, if there is one minor grievance that lingers, it stems from the fixed camera perspective. I cannot help but feel that taking a page from classic 3D platformers - like the Spyro series or the aforementioned Rayman 2 - would work wonders here. Instead of a camera that remains locked in a fixed pattern, adding a dedicated button for manual camera manipulation would grant players a wonderful sense of freedom and open up endless opportunities to capture lovely screenshots of this beautifully crafted world. The soundscape is an absolute delight. The ambient noises - Quill’s little footsteps pattering softly in the open air or echoing through old ruins, her gentle squeaks, crisp sounds of blades, armor and mechanical contraptions, and the warm voice of the narrator telling the story as though reading from a great, old book of fables - all weave together to create a distinct, immersive atmosphere that is incredibly easy to lose yourself in. And the music is exceptionally good. Truly spellbinding. It is perfectly tailored to the fantastical world and our protagonist’s journey, acting as a fairytale concert that accompanies us every step of the way. No bugs encountered through the first 10 hours of my gameplay, fortunately. A tip of the hat to you, Polyarc team. And a raised glass for Jason Graves, for a truly wondrous soundtrack.

Such a cute and fun game!

I played book 1 on PS4 VR and at the time it was my favorite VR game. When book 2 came out I wanted tro pick it up but sadly it was on a VR system that I didn't have. I have been waiting for the non VR version and its fanilly here. This game brings out my childhood and memories of reading books with nostigia to the never ending story mix in with zelda, puzzles etc. This game might not be long but its piced correctly and I amsure people will enjoy the sotry.

Such a cute and cool game with beautiful graphics! I think it’s really creative how the game involves the player.
