Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Moss: The Forgotten Relic

The reviews are trickling in for Moss: The Forgotten Relic, and turns out they are quite positive!

For those of you who don't know anything about our wee magical mouse, The Forgotten Relic is a reimagined console port for Moss and Moss: Book II which originally launched as VR experiences.

Here's the official word on Moss: The Forgotten Relic from its developer Polyarc:

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an emotional and atmospheric adventure set in the pages of a living storybook, brimming with myth and ancient magic. Guide a tiny but determined hero on a heartfelt journey of challenge, courage, and connection.

The game currently holds a 'Generally Favourable' 81 on Metacritic, so let's dive into what the reviews have to say about Moss: The Forgotten Relic:

TheXboxHub (9/10)

"Moss: The Forgotten Relic is about as rich as an adventure game can get. It might not be overly groundbreaking, and the port from PSVR has left some control quirks behind, but everything else is so enthralling and elegantly constructed that you tend to push those thoughts aside. It’s as immersive as a top-tier animated movie."

Console Creatures (9/10)

"After years, it’s great that we now all have a way to experience what Polyarc created with Moss: The Forgotten Relic. I’m sure the games are excellent in VR, but here they feel just as great! The world of Moss feels so well-realized, and our hero, Quill, is the perfect mouse to take along on this journey. This is an action puzzle game that many, many more people should check out now that it’s more widely accessible."

IGN (8/10)

"Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an incredibly charming fairy tale, and aside from a couple of minor issues, this is a very smooth remake that doesn’t feel compromised by breaking free of its VR-exclusive origins."

TheGamer (8/10)

"Even if Moss: The Forgotten Relic loses a little bit of the personal magic that it's become known for with the removal of VR, Quill’s charming adventure absolutely manages to stand on its own two paws as a slightly more traditional puzzle platformer. More than anything, I’m grateful that anyone who couldn’t handle Moss in VR finally has a chance to try out a truly special game."

There you have it, folks! Lots of kind words for Quill the mouse. I'll admit The Forgotten Relic wasn't really on my radar before today, but now it is. Looks absolutely charming. Moss: The Forgotten Relic is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC at a price of £16.74 / $19.99!
