Spirit of The North (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

a journey well worth taking' - TechRaptor Key Features:- Make your way across stunning landscapes, on an emotionally stirring journey. Audio – Great: The orchestral themes within Spirit of the North are wonderfully crafted and add a lot to the title. I’ve really enjoyed the music along my travels, which complements the art and game style very well. Thanks to the folks at Merge Games, today I’m taking a look over the 3rd person adventure title Spirit of the North, on the Nintendo Switch. This one is a relatively cheap title, which offers a silent story experience which will be familiar to fans of Rime or Journey. Narrative – Fair: It’s one which progresses without conversation, and while it’s not hugely deep there is a little narrative which follows along your journey through the title. Depicted through spirits and carvings, the narrative isn’t too front and centre. If you pay attention, however, there is a lightweight tale to be told. Again, Spirit of the North does not allow itself to be pigeon-holed by modern expectations. There is no dialogue in the game, no written documents to read, no conversations to follow and no narration of any kind. You interact with the spirits of the world. You do so with your actions, and they in turn do the same. I was never left with a longing for dialogue options or the need to talk to NPCs. The game lets you save your voice and take in some deep breaths of fresh air after being choked by the smog of so many games taking influence from each other. If Looks Could Kill…

Play as an ordinary red fox whose story becomes entwined with the guardian of the Northern Lights, a magical spirit fox. As you journey over the mountains and under red-stained skies, you’ll discover more about your companion and land left in ruin. Unless you somehow managed to miss me praising the visuals in this game throughout this review, then first and foremost, I would like to suggest you visit an optician. This game is stunning. And that is where most of its appeal will come from. There are not many platformers that are released these days, unfortunately, not on consoles. Spirit of the North is honestly a welcome edition in my game collection as far too many of them are 100+ hour games that ask far too much of me. Games where there is no dialogue whatsoever can be hard to pull players in and keep them engaged. You have to let them discover things on their own, explore, push buttons just to find out what they do; the players have free reign. That’s exactly the case in Spirit of the North, the third person adventure game from Infuse Studio. Probably the “hardest” or most annoying achievement. During chapter 7 you need to find all 28 spirits, move to the front of them. If you see an animation that is like praying, then they greet you. All 28 found on the video walkthrough. The whole area is a big forest, easy to get lost, many areas look similar so a screenshot guide not really possible.Spirit of the North manages to deliver an interesting storyline without any dialogue. If you make the fox bark standing on a particular set of blue flowers, you will gain a spirit power that will illuminate the fur. With this, you are able to move objects, open doors or flood caves. Ultimately, it will make you reach the path you need to continue with the game. Throughout this entire puzzle adventure, you play as a nameless fox wandering—or, more accurately, searching the landscapes of Iceland for…something. Or, maybe you’re not searching. Maybe you’re just being guided towards something by a spirit fox who, according to the game’s description, is the “guardian of the Northern Lights.” Spirit of the North gives you no setup and no dialogue throughout the game. Everything you know and learn is pulled from the game’s wordless cutscenes and puzzle elements. Spirit of the North is the type of adventure game in which you could get lost. In parts, that’s by design, but in other parts, it’s by accident. This creates a somewhat disjointed experience. But who knows? Maybe that’s just the way it is for a fox. The Spirit of the North game is a single player adventure game that you play with a 3rd person view. The game is inspired by the most beautiful, breathtaking and mysterious landscapes you can find in Iceland. The story of the Spirit of the North game takes various pieces of Nordic folklore and brings them together into an amazing game experience.

To me, the fact there was no story and that you had to figure out what you had to do made this game so much fun to play. Solving the puzzles and trying to figure out what is next or if you didn’t miss anything made the experience for me so addicting and fun. Spirit of the North is rated by PEGI at 7, and by the ESRB as E for Everybody. The age rating for this one covers some bones and bodies scatters on your travels,, but not much else. With no fall damage or danger to speak of, it’s not overly troublesome. I would say that complexity means that below that age it might be a little tough for younger minds to get into. In terms of content I’d be happy to let the Micro-Bandits get their hands on it. Looking out for puzzles, our little foxy friend is under your control The Run Down You will take the reigns of a fox traversing the land in an immersive and atmospheric environmental puzzler through a mystical interpretation of Ireland. Its peaceful ambience, stylised visuals and idyllic orchestral immersion will keep you from putting the controller down. Lookin’ Foxy!

Spirit of the North is a roaming 3rd person adventure, set through some idyllic and well crafted landscapes. You’ll find story elements as you go, told through inscriptions on caves or cliff walls along your journey. I’ve enjoyed this gentle adventure, with simple mechanics and not a lot of danger to speak of. With some easy puzzles and tasks along your journey, and some which take a little more thought, it’s one to suit the light and breezy crowd. Visuals – Fair: This has been a tough one to mark in terms of visuals, as a lot of the time they are pretty good. I’ve enjoyed my travels through the landscapes, which have been artfully rendered. The switch version here falls down a little when compared to Windows or PlayStation however. With some rough edging and glitches with landscaping and positions it’s thrown me a little sometimes. Generally speaking it doesn’t detract too much from gameplay, but it’s definitely noticeable. You can light up Ancient Murals if you infused and you push the button E when you is close to them. Here are the 8 required: Do what the description says. It is important to mention that you need to do each once in spirit form, you don’t need to all of them during one spirit form session. This makes the achievement very easy. Northern Lights Spirit of the North is a single-player 3rd-person adventure game inspired by the breathtaking and mysterious landscapes of Iceland. The story takes root from various pieces of Nordic folklore.

SPIRIT OF THE NORTH 2 IS COMING!

Spirit of the North is a third person adventure game that follows a fox in an Icelandic landscape. Spirit of the North Switch offers a very atmospheric adventure playing as a fox. Let us take a closer look at it in my first Nintendo Switch review. SPIRIT OF THE NORTH

Solve environmental puzzles to change the world around you, using ancient powers bestowed upon you by the guardian of the Northern Lights. As Spirit of the North has no dialogue, players are left fully to their own devices to discover the secrets of ancient ruins. After chapter 2, players meet the fox spirit and are given an ability to “reawaken” certain areas of the ruins. Doing so may open up a new area for players to explore or it may create a bridge, open a hole in the wall to let water escape and fill up the area or many other things to help you traverse the land and solve puzzles.The game takes you out of the modern gaming tropes and gives you a whimsical story to sink into. So many games take away your sense of exploration by over encumbering you with reasons to actually explore. Playing most modern games, you start to get a sixth sense of where treasure chests are hidden, where collectables have been stashed, where extra ammo/money/resources may be concealed. The only collectable in Spirit of the North gives you eventual access to different skins, just a plain and simple process, and they are easy to come across. The PS5 version of this game is the enhanced version. This comes with improved lighting, graphical fidelity, textures, and a smoother frame rate over the original. I can imagine fans of the original will welcome these changes. Nobody can ever truly complain when something that looks incredible is made even more incredible. Foxin’ Around…
