Review: Moss: The Forgotten Relic (Switch 2) – A Port That Doesn't Fall Flat On A Flatscreen

Where there’s a Quill, there’s a way. When I first played Moss on PSVR in 2018, it was the game that truly sold me on virtual reality. Here was an adventure with the ambition and polish of a console release that used VR to draw the player into its world in a genuinely compelling way. At the time, it felt like developer Polyarc had finally cracked how to make a puzzle-adventure really work inside a headset. Returning to that world in Moss: The Forgotten Relic, which brings both previously VR-excl

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is a shinier, VR-less fusion of the two beloved puzzle platformers that's out this summer

There's always a twinge of sadness when a game designed for VR later gets ported to be played on a regular screen, primarily because it's just not technically the realm the game was made for. That's sad to me! On the other hand, I do not own a VR headset, so I do win in those instances as well. Like today, for instance, as the Moss series is getting a VR-less version, with both games combined into one neat package.

Moss developer Polyarc share that they're shutting down just two months after releasing a VR-less port of the beloved mousey adventure games

Another sad one today, unfortunately. Back in July, Polyarc released Moss: The Forgotten Relic, a new version of the original two games combined together that ditched its VR headset origins. Now, unfortunately, it sounds like the studio is shutting down, as the developer's LinkedIn page shared a message this week noting it's ending "active development."
