You can run if you need to cut across a large expanse quickly as well as jump your way to rocky ledges or over obstacles. Gameplay is fairly simple and has you trekking your way across the various Icelandic landscapes on foot, of course. You get hints as to what happened to civilization from the works you will find carved into the walls along the way. I eventually got a somewhat adequate understanding of what was going on about an hour or so into the game, but it would have been nice if the game was able to communicate the situation to you a little better. The game immediately sets you on your journey but it doesn’t do a good enough job of letting the player know exactly why she/he should even care.
The issue I have with this is that this is all information that I learned from the games website, and not from the game itself. With the help of the Guardian of the Northern Lights, you’ll traverse the frozen tundra, snow-covered glaciers, and rocky mountainsides as you follow a foreboding scarlet trail that paints the sky on your journey to shed light on the ruins of the past. The story behind Spirit of the North is that you are a fox that has been tasked with discovering how an ancient, once prosperous civilization suddenly disappeared. The Guardian of the Northern Lights will guide you on your journey. Based on Nordic folklore and set in the beautiful environs of Iceland, this is a 3rd-person adventure game that had the potential to be something special but unfortunately fell flat. Needless to say, when I was presented with the opportunity to review Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition, I jumped at the chance to see what Merge Games had on offer. While I don’t have a lot of games like this in my collection, it was nice to see something like that was being released along side the launch of the PS5. Every so often, I like to lay off of the violent, high-action games that I usually turn to and play something a little more laid-back that doesn’t cause me to have to use my brain too much.
