Spirit of the north switch review6/16/2023 ![]() This is one of the titles that i love, but I hesitate to recommend. Along with the excellent music there is something spiritual about this game. And it's not that it's graphically impressive, models and textures are kinda mediocre, but the overall painting. This is the first and only game in my life that compelled me to taking screenshots every 3-5 minutes. and then, when you deal with the anger coming from those problems. Platforming in this game is not fun and can get really frustrating. Some errors in cinematic are just amateur looking, constant popups and model glitches are annoying. ![]() On one side it's a very buggy game with lackluster 3D design. This is the first I have very mixed feelings about this game. I have very mixed feelings about this game. Honestly, there is a lot of hidden lore in this game, but don't expect the game to feed it to you. The subtle symbolism is the best part of this game. Lots of games with animal protagonists are really rough but this was honestly one of the best. Had to play them side by side to see a difference(I own PC, Switch. The graphics aren't as good as PC and PS4 but I almost couldn't even tell. The subtle symbolism is the Way better on Switch than I expected. ![]() back to enjoying the beauty that is spirit of the north… Spirit of the north does have its pacing issues for the 2nd half of this 5 hour long game, but the overall package makes spirit of the north a must play for adventure and platforming fans… I give Spirit of the North a 7.5/10 … Expand back to enjoying the environment and music. let me breathe… thankfully towards the end, things start to go back to the way they should be. I would’ve loved moments like this thrown in between the puzzle solving rather than new puzzle area after new puzzle area. it would’ve bee na much more enjoyable experience just playing with the mechanics and not having to constantly find a flower to pill your energy from in between every switch press… its all just feels overwhelming in the final stretch, really making me miss those beginning moments when things were simple, and it was about enjoying the experience. spirit of the north becomes more puzzle platform and less puzzle adventure, here you’ll be activating symbols still, but not so much in a linear fashion, they now act as switches, so you’ll be in the same area running round figuring out which switch to throw to move onto the next switch until your able to leave the area, sometimes being introduced to a new ability to help you solve new puzzles, such as the ability to leave your body and activate switches out of reach to your solid form… an ability that has potential, but these puzzles proved to be a nuisance thanks to them being tied to a timer, and the switch so far out of reach that you don’t have a moment to spare on your way to activating it… overall I wish the spirit didn’t leave your body when youd activate a symbol, or destroy an object. Spirit of the North A Beautiful Adventure Spirit of the North is a 5 hour long puzzle platforming game where you play as a fox accompanied by a spirit, at first things are pretty straight forward, and this is when spirit of the north Is at its best, it’s at first a beautiful linear journey, with snow, and ice, and finding symbols to bring to life to move forward, all while beautiful Spirit of the North A Beautiful Adventure Spirit of the North is a 5 hour long puzzle platforming game where you play as a fox accompanied by a spirit, at first things are pretty straight forward, and this is when spirit of the north Is at its best, it’s at first a beautiful linear journey, with snow, and ice, and finding symbols to bring to life to move forward, all while beautiful chill inducing music plays in the background, spirit of the north starts as a game that feels like hot chocolate on a cold day and then the second half of the game happens.
