Critic Reviews for Spirit of the North 2
Spirit of the North 2 isn't a bad game, and some dungeons are a ton of fun, but it's clear the game needed more time in the oven and would have benefited in a linear format.
If you're familiar with Spirit of the North, this sequel may impress you with its evolutionary strides over its predecessor, such as granting you an open expanse to explore at your leisure, not to mention the fact it's double the length of the previous title. For newcomers, Spirit of the North 2 has an enchanting and calming essence you'll gravitate towards despite its technical shortcomings and unnecessary upgrade system.
Spirit of the North 2 takes the contemplative experience of the first chapter and expands it into a larger open world full of biomes and secrets. Combat, quests and inventory are excellently replaced by exploration, environmental puzzles and outstanding art direction. The main new feature is the introduction of the raven, able to give wings to the fox, just like a famous beverage. The only minuses: an automatic jumping system that is sometimes unpredictable and a camera that is not always accurate. A poetic title, visually gorgeous, but with some glitches in the gameplay.

While I didn't particularly enjoy this genre, Spirit of the North 2 has its charms. Visually and audibly, it's stunning, with amazing contrasts between light and dark.
Spirit of the North 2 isn't a complete lost cause, but it feels too rough and unpolished to qualify as anything more than wishful meandering.
In the end, Spirit of the North 2 successfully builds upon its predecessor, offering a more expansive world, deeper mechanics plus a richer narrative. With its visual beauty, atmospheric storytelling and engaging puzzles, this is a must play for fans of the original or for those looking for similar games such as Journey and Abzû, this mystical fox's journey is one worth embarking on.
While seeking to expand beyond its predecessor, the second chapter is burdened with both existing and new difficulties.

Spirit of the North 2 introduces the necessary changes to captivate fans of the previous installment while also attracting new players. However, its current state on PlayStation 5 makes it an experience that is impossible to enjoy.
