Spirit of the North is one of the most beautiful and relaxing games I’ve ever played. You guide a fox through breathtaking Nordic-inspired landscapes, accompanied by a mysterious spirit fox, and the whole experience feels like stepping into a living painting. The world design is simply stunning — from snow-covered valleys to glowing cave systems, every area is filled with detail and atmosphere. What I love most is that the game tells its story without a single word. Everything is conveyed through visuals, music, and exploration, which makes the journey feel more personal and immersive. The soundtrack is gorgeous, perfectly matching the calm yet emotional tone of the adventure. The puzzles are engaging without being too difficult, and the pace encourages you to slow down, explore, and soak in the beauty around you. It’s the perfect game to unwind with after a stressful day — no rush, no pressure, just pure, serene exploration. If you’re looking for an atmospheric, heartfelt experience that combines nature, mystery, and stunning art design, Spirit of the North is an absolute gem. 🦊✨ 10/10 — Awoooo Get Goo Goo ALU!

Rating: 100% – And still, it’s not about that. Spirit of the North is not a game that shouts. It doesn’t try to impress you with systems, maps, or mechanics. It simply exists – quietly, gently, and with unexpected emotional gravity. You’re not a hero. You’re not on a mission. You’re a fox. And you’re there – in a world that feels like it's already lost everything. And yet… there’s something left to do. What makes this game special isn’t its challenge – it’s its resonance . The landscapes are hauntingly beautiful, even years after release. The snowy beginning left a mark on me I didn’t expect – and while I personally wish there had been more of those cold, white expanses, the journey that follows still feels true . Everything is placed with intention, even the silence. And yes… I explored. I found all the spirits. I stood still for no reason at all. Because sometimes, you don’t play to finish. You play to feel . Spirit of the North is not for everyone. It won’t explain itself to you. But if you let it in – if you slow down and listen – it’ll stay with you long after the credits fade. This was never just about finishing a game. It was about walking with meaning. — No spoilers. No checklist talk. Just… a quiet thank you to a game that dared to speak softly.

Just because it's a game about an adorable fox you think we will want to play it? Correct, we will. Time to buy and get going. I'm a simple guy. I see fox, I buy. This game is for sensitive people who like nature and want to relax. I absolutely enjoyed this beauty of a game. The older I get the more I enjoy these little adventure games over big epic games that take months to finish. Just a few short fun games to have the experience. My daughter used to play a game like this when she was younger. A lot of these types of games are more about imagination and providing somewhat of a sandbox environment. Sure, as an adult there might not be much to do, but for a child with a big imagination who loves animals, this is pretty cool! Fortunately for me it was perfect. It was definitely no Stray but it has its charm. I absolutly LOVED this game! I do not regret buying it!! For those who don't know, this game was made by three guys! THREE! Two worked on the game and the third one on the soundtrack! They did an amazing job! Hands down guys! Beautiful game, beautiful soundtrack and the ending was just as beautiful. I looooveee games with environmental aspects and amazing graphics, and the storyline was amazing. No voice lines, just actions, and yet it's one of the best stories l've seen. The game reminds me of Endling and The First Tree and definitely was moved to tears by the end. This game is absolutely brilliant. It's made me actually want to go on holiday to Iceland to see this beautiful scenery for myself. I also love the story behind this, the usual boy meets girl and their relationship grows. I also loved the playful aspects of the game, the barking and jumping and interactions with the girl spirit fox. There's no difficulty level within this game, it's basically you have to figure it out for yourself. I personally really enjoyed it, yes it's a little clunky here and there and its no journey by any means but these type of games do click with me so maybe I am biased. I personally feel you need to not be thinking about achievements or challenges or difficulty etc to enjoy games like this. You need to escape reality and apply your own imagination, and almost create your own story. I see them as half completed paintings and it's my job to fill in the blanks, you get out of it what your imagination puts in so to speak. I feel like there are so few games where you can just run around as a cute animal doing stuff. But I love games like that, that are centred more around journeying through the game and experiencing every part of it. I like all kinds of games, but I always keep an eye out for types of games like these; they're usually so chill and relaxing too, a lot of the time, and always top notch visually, no matter what the art style is. Idk I guess it's not really a game for everyone, but it's beautiful, the music is amazing, and the story is actually pretty good while somehow being communicated amazingly without speaking or showing a single word. But if you feel like running around solving puzzles with amazing scenery I would recommend it! I loved it but I played it stoned. 8/10

The thing with all the retards that populate the earth is they cannot comprehend the difference between personal opinion and actual facts. All of you bitching about the game are simply unintelligent. What the fuck did you expect, a furry DLC for Warzone with a unicorn shaped buttplug? FFS.. Objectively, this game is beautiful. [*]It runs flawlessly [*]The music is incredible. [*]The world is vast [*]The puzzles are just hard enough to make you think but simple enough to allow you to chill. [*]It makes you FEEL all the way through. You're always amazed at something. [*]Good amount of collectibles, enough to incite you to explore. I can't wait to play the sequel. In my opinion, this is a 10/10.
