Due to the minimal longevity of VR games in general and this drip-feeding of new experiences, it&rsquo;s a safe bet to say that a lot of people&rsquo;s PSVR headsets have been gathering dust for a while. I know mine certainly has. <\/p>\n<p>\nChances are this drought of games is due to the impending release of the PSVR 2. With its new controllers and camera-free tracking promising a much better experience overall, it makes sense to think that developers would be prepping games to launch with that, rather than catering to a headset that&rsquo;s about to become obsolete. And that&rsquo;s why Moss: Book 2 feels like it launched with more of a squeak than the bang it deserves. It&rsquo;s the sequel to one of my favourite VR games of all time &#8211; yet news of its arrival barely caused a ripple of excitement, even from within the VR sphere.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/moss-book-2-review-a-fairy-tale-goodbye-for-the-psvr\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/moss-book-2-review-a-fairy-tale-goodbye-for-the-psvr\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original Moss released just over four years ago and back then the PSVR&rsquo;s landscape was a very different place.
