Spirit of the North 2 Reviews
I cannot stress enough just how much I enjoy Spirit of the North 2. It takes the all the strongest elements of the first game and builds upon them, while simultaneously eliminating the aspects that didn’t work as well before. It’s not without its share of flaws, but those are easily overlooked in favor the remarkable, wondrous adventure that lies before you.
Spirit of the North 2 retains what already worked in its predecessor, while adding new ideas, not necessarily original, but which have shone in other works with the same introspective approach, such as its open world. Infuse Studio has finally created poetry in the form of a video game.

Spirits of the North 2 attempts to deliver a calm and distinctive experience that surpasses its predecessor, and it partly succeeds thanks to its beautiful artistic direction and noticeable improvements to the platforming system. However, it still suffers from clear issues in level design, which can leave players feeling lost, along with a vague storyline that fails to motivate exploration—making it a serene yet limited adventure.

As a fan of foxes, I couldn't wait for the release of Spirit of the North 2. So it pains me all the more that it's one of the biggest disappointments of this year. It's a game that's just bad, and what's worse, it's becoming more and more difficult to bear with each passing hour. It's a production that's poorly optimized, unstable and full of ill-conceived or non-functioning mechanics. The first installment may not have been perfect, but it had its own identity and a clearly defined vision. The same cannot be said of the sequel.

Spirit of the North 2 is a gorgeous game filled with a level of freedom that feels refreshing in today's climate, with smart puzzles and a moving story.
If atmosphere is more important to you than gameplay, and the experience is more important to you than straightforward game mechanics, "Spirit of the North 2" could be just the thing for you. Fans of the predecessor can confidently buy this.

Spirit of the North 2 tried to innovate, it tried to expand, it tried to "raise the bar", but what it didn't do was become a better, more attractive game. Despite having good puzzle ideas and implementing interesting battles, these pillars alone don't support a product that fails in practically everything it does. Its gigantic, empty map and the questionable quality of its elements make it clear that the game needed more polish, and unfortunately the developers didn't see it in time.

Spirit of the North 2 has some great concepts and mechanics, set in a varied Nordic world. There’s certainly a lot to enjoy, and I did have fun with my Fox buddy a fair bit. When it clicked, it was great, but the litany of technical issues and some tedious, faffy traversal keep it from reaching the Northern Heights!
Spirit of the North 2 is a nice sequel that retains the charm of the first game while skillfully expanding the gameplay. The new skills in conjunction with the raven are fun, the atmosphere and the magical visuals look beautiful and the game invites you to linger. Unfortunately, there are technical problems here and there and the aimless wandering to the next required item can be very annoying.
