    Exploring Iceland as a furry fox friend has been a real treat. It’s delicious eye candy with a satisfyingly chewy center. Yes, there were times when I hoped for a little more direction in solving puzzles. Those brand new help cards on the PlayStation 5 dashboard sure would have been nice (fingers crossed we see those when the game officially releases). That said, Spirit of the North is too beautiful and captivating to be disappointed for long. If you love games like Lost Ember, I can’t recommend adding Spirit of the North to your collection enough.

    Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition is a unique, mystical adventure that will scratch the right itches for players who desire an artistic reprieve from the norm of tried and true action games. While the puzzles can become somewhat taxing and repetitious, the wordless story and enchanting world are more than enough reasons for open-minded players to jump in and see what this game is all about.

    The music is good as well even though the soundtrack is quite short and gets repetitive.
    Unfortunately, this is where the good stuff ends.
    The game is riddled with bugs, poor level design choices, boring gameplay, and very clunky controls at times and this is with the "enhanced edition" don't want to imagine how this game functioned at launch.
    I would skip this one.    … Full Review »

    It’s okay for 10 minutes.
    Very boring game, cute, but boring.
    Don’t recommend.
