    Nope! just nope! Total waste of my time, I'm not even mad that I paid for this "hour long game" (more like 20 minutes), it's my time I'm mad that I wasted. Like one of those garbage Amazon movies that you thought hmm that might be ok and you shamefully forced yourself to sit through because you paid and it's actually the worst film you have ever sullied your eyes with.

    It only gets a 1 because it functioned without incident.
    But god.... It gets so obscure and purposefully "arty" it borders on one of those art performances like the lady that shoves paint eggs up her lady garden to make a point.
    Just avoid, don't bother giving it a chance. Just throw your money in the bin and sit in a darkened room, trust me it would be a better use of your time.    … Expand

    Психоделический симулятор ходьбы, просмотра страшных фоток и чтения сообщений.
    Играть только со знанием английского языка, чтобы читать письма. Я знаю язык плохо, поэтому не вижу смысла в хождении туда-сюда, тем более что не понятно ничего в целом. Просто тыкаешься во все дырки в надежде, что что-то изменится.

    Визуальная часть игры неудовлетворительная, так как всё угловатое и анимации дёрганые, то есть смотреть неприятно.
    Геймплея нет в принципе - ходить и нажимать на подсказки ради того, чтобы дальше заниматься тем же.
    Попробую ещё раз с переводчиком и возможно поменяю решение, но пока мнение об игре негативное:(    … Expand

    NORTH carries an important message that it wants to impart, but whether it manages to successfully convey it to the player is debatable. The cyberpunk atmosphere helps it to stand apart from other games on the Nintendo eShop. But, with the developer having exerted more effort to create unpredictable and trippy scenes, you soon come to the realization that it is reading the letters sent from brother to sister that beat at the heart of the experience. In comparison, everything else feels meaningless.

    Few games put the focus on today so directly. North pushes you into a dreamlike and terrifying landscape that drives you crazy and disgusts you. Without being brilliant, it serves as a model to promote new developments that risk your message and expand the concept of videogames.

    North is a brave entry into the Walking Simulator pantheon. Though not for everyone, it can be quite interesting to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
