Being given some extra money from my mother, I decided to buy one of the premium VR titles. This one is a game I’ve only heard of once, from Playstation’s YouTube account. It was announced in E3 2017, and had a release date (and gameplay footage) early this year, including this video.
Originally for the PSVR, it’s now for all current VR headsets. It features a mouse named Quill, who’s quite the explorer. The thing is, this isn’t only her story, for the VR player also is a part of this. But the concept of this style of gameplay is far from original. For it was done in a game called Tearaway Unfolded for the PS4. The story was different, but the concept pretty much was the same. In that game, you used your controller’s lightbar to manipulate things in the world. In this game, you use your controllers to manipulate things in the world. See any difference? One extra controller, OK. But overall, not really.
Now don’t get me wrong, this game is absolutely beautiful. The levels feel.. real. Rotating your head, you can see nooks and crannies that you couldn’t before (which you can help Quill get to).
Quill herself is so adorable. She’ll even react if the player gets close to her. That level of immersion is just.. wow.
My only complaint (other than the movement controls feeling a bit loose(such as Quill moving on her own)), is how short the story was (for how much money they asked for). But at the end, it’s mentioned ‘This is the end of Book 1″, and “Your journeys with Quill are far from over”… a possible series, starting next year?
Let’s hope. I want to see a ‘Moss 2’, or something (or free DLC).
