According to Polyarc, we can expect the same level of detail in Moss: Book II. Everything from the games’ environments to Quill’s mannerisms served to better immerse you in the experience.

What I enjoyed most about Moss was its attention to detail. Based on the information shared so far, however, Moss: Book 2 improves upon the shortcomings of the original, the few that there are. After all, if it isn’t broken, why fix it? This was comforting to hear, as I found the original game experience fairly well-balanced, albeit a bit simplistic. Speaking with the team, it sounds like their goal was to provide a bigger, better experience without reinventing the wheel, so to speak.

This includes a new armored bug called the Ripper you can shoot like a pinball at specific targets in order to progress through the level. New enemies will also offer new possibilities. This includes the ability to generate magical vines which can be used by Quill as a makeshift bridge. In addition to combat, the sequel introduces new player interactions designed specifically for VR. Using a new item wheel, you’ll have the ability to switch between weapons such as your sword as well as the new hammer, which can be charged to deal extra damage. As previously mentioned, Moss: Book II expands Quill’s arsenal of weaponry. During the roughly 12-minute demo, Josh StiksmaPrincipal, Engineer & Design Director at Polyarc, walked PlayStation’s Justin Massongill and Tim Turi through some of the biggest changes from the original.
