Since the game never comes out and says anything about the plot, the fact you’re helping to restore the Northern Lights is mostly conveyed through late game actions and inscriptions on stones and walls. You don’t seem to be able to trigger it to give you hints manually though, so you often have to hope it will give you some guidance if you’re stuck and wondering what you’re meant to do in one of the many open areas of the game. While you could bark at her and get a reply before, she quickly gets downgraded to something more like Navi from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, buzzing around you and sometimes flitting over to areas of interest to highlight them. However, while it does seem like you’re meant to develop a sort of companionship with this other fox, very quickly she gets demoted to a mote of light that loses any sort of personality or character. A strange red corruption has been spotted in the sky, your fox heading after it and joining up with a ghostly blue fox for the adventure. Spirit of the North has you begin as a rather gorgeously detailed red fox, although from certain angles its fur rendering doesn’t look perfect. Spirit of the North, however, completely avoids words and practically has no narrative, choosing instead to be a meditative journey where you are meant to extract meaning from some rather basic and repeated images and details.

Both are indie games I played on PS4 where you play as a fox, explore wide open and often beautiful areas, and undergo some sort of spiritual journey, although The First Tree is happy to throw in narration and make it more about the storytellers than your adventure as the vulpine protagonist. Don't waste your money.It was practically inevitable that I’d compare Spirit of the North with The First Tree. There are also ways where you can kind of.cheat, that is, clearly not do what the game intends, in order to get past the level, which is fine in nature, but from playing this game, it's not SUPPOSED to be built like that. I had to reset the game several times when I got stuck in a cave with literally no way to get out. Also, there are a lot of places you can get stuck.

I'm okay with open ended game but it isn't truly an open world. That being said, I finished the game in two days and I'm a pretty SLOW player, and the plot really never made sense. When I played the second time and it happened again, I realized it was the game.

I stopped playing after an hour and I couldn't understand why I felt so terrible. At first I didn't know what was going on. I have been playing games my whole life, and this game gave me MOTION SICKNESS. At first I didn't One of the worst games I've ever played. One of the best games available on the PlayStation 5, and one of the most surprisingly pleasant titles I have experienced in awhile. The game is a definite change of pace from most, and some will find the puzzles and style tedious or boring, however, those willing to undertake the task and sit back and enjoy the world created in Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition are in for a treat. The art design, soundtrack, and environment are top notch, working together to create an unforgettable experience. The game is stunning visually, a great improvement on the standard edition of the game, and shows off nicely the added power in the PlayStation 5.


While the lack of "action" due to the game lacking enemies, Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition relies on puzzles and strategy to entertain the player. While Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition is an amazing experience, blending video games with art. Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition is an amazing experience, blending video games with art.
