Spirit of the North 10/10

Spirit of the North is a good adventure game. A beautiful story with a touch of magic, some beautiful graphics and a nice ambiant. I recommend it!!! 💗🦊💗

Arf. Arf. Bark! *Wags tail happily.*

Spirit of the North is a casual game where the player explores Iceland-inspired environs as a red fox along with their spirit companion. The game is intended to be a relaxing experience with the world being beautifully generated (although it loses some of the crispness when zoomed in), and there are no enemies to encounter in the game. Gameplay isn't difficult and the game is quite accessible for most players including children. Apart from the skeletal remains of shamans and a few possible frightening moments and locations, the game is very kid-friendly.

While navigating through the game's world, players will need to solve environment-based puzzles and do some minor platforming using their supernatural powers. Unfortunately there is a good deal of backtracking needed to recharge the fox's powers before continuing further in many of the puzzles. Along the way the player's fox may discover the remains of shamans and will have an opportunity to put their souls at peace. Doing so will unlock new cosmetic skins for the fox. As players continue to progress through the game more of the textless narrative of the story unfolds via cutscenes and careful observations in the environment such as from painted murals and carvings.

Spirit of the North is a charming, enjoyable game, but lacks staying power. The game is pretty; however, the game is also straightforward and simple. On one hand it definitely fulfills its aim of being a cozy little game; nevertheless, on the other hand once a player explored and seen everything there's little reason to return. It does things well, but never in a spectacular way to leave a lasting impression. When it comes down to it, Spirit of the North is a good and decent game that many players will certainly enjoy (at least for one complete run). Final score: ~6 / 10.

Key points and other notable details:

• - Explore and solve simple environment-based puzzles as a red fox.
  
• - Decent variety of puzzles, but requires quite a bit of backtracking.
  
• - Intended to be a calm and relaxing experience with each chapter having its own aesthetic.
  
• - Character movement can be quite stiff which can be jarring in comparison to the environment.
  
• - The forest map near the end of the game is excessively large which invites frustration over the feelings of serenity.
  
• - The fox can run, jump, swim, and "fly", but more importantly there are buttons dedicated solely to allow the fox to bark and wag its tail! :D
