Even though I felt lost initially, it was a delight to roam around in. I really enjoyed soaking in all the views, especially the opening area. This is all accompanied by music fitting to this spiritual journey in the frozen North. While the Switch’s resolution and power aren’t equal to the other platforms this was released on, it still manages to capture the beauty in the environments. It’s not all snow and wide-open spaces, but it always feels peaceful. The further along you go, the more different areas you’ll find. Spirit of the North is all about the atmosphere and there is a lot of beautiful nature to absorb along the way. Your journey is scenic, especially the vast snowy region you start in. It can get slightly frustrating when it’s unclear where you need to go next when you encounter the light puzzle areas. This approach adds to the serene exploration of the areas you’re traversing. When relevant a button prompt will show up when you need to grab a stick, bark, or use spirit power on a mystic rune. The game doesn’t give anything away, there is no dialogue or text. You follow a fox spirit across the land, getting ever closer to the source of the ominous smoke. Your Adventure is that of a red fox walking across a snow-covered landscape, following a plume of mysterious red smoke. Rug up because it’s time to head North and have a spiritual journey. Spirit of the North is a game that flirts with both sides of the line, a narrative game with light puzzle and platforming. Narrative games have to walk a fine line does the player just roam and experience the story, or do you have to include more traditional game elements like combat or platforming.
