Moss: Book 2
Controlling a mouse in VR is rarely to be recommended, but after after the delights of the original Moss, which had you guiding warrior rodent Quill around some of the finest puzzle-platform levels ever beamed to a headset, having the sequel arrive for rather more capable hardware than the ageing and obsolete PSVR is something we’d not hesitate to miss.
Moss: Book 2 is a rare case of being more of the same, where more of the same is perfectly acceptable and warranted. Quill is as cute as ever, the puzzles breezy, and the world even more charming and magical than before, which is quite an achievement.

Immortality
Immortality is the latest game from Sam Barlow, the writer and director of Her Story and Telling Lies. Launching for PC and Xbox, the latest mystery concerns the disappearance of fictional actress Marissa Marcel, who starred in three movies - none of which were released - and was never seen or thought of much again.
As with Barlow’s previous games, Immortality has you rummaging through old footage, specifically cuttings and scenes from Marcel’s three unreleased films, in what Barlow is calling an interactive movie trilogy. This time however, it is pitched as more of a horror story than either Her Story or Telling Lies, which makes Immortality a compelling prospect seeing as Barlow once took the lead on two Silent Hill games.

Live A Live
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII remake may be getting all the plaudits and headlines, but for Switch players unlikely to see the game running on Nintendo hardware any time soon, it’s Live A Live that’s the more exciting prospect - which also happens to be a remake of another Square RPG classic from the 1990s, albeit one that never saw release outside of Japan.
Employing the same HD-2D graphical look of Octopath Traveller, the all-new Live A Live has been developed by Takashi Tokita, the game’s original creator, who would go on to make Crono Trigger, Parasite Eve, and oversee many of the recent ports and remakes of Final Fantasy classics. With Xenoblade Chronicles 3 also coming this month, it’s a good month for Switch players.
