While it might seem like there is an obvious comparison to Okami here, with the protagonist being a fox who is given mystical powers, that’s where the similarities end.

One of the flowers is never too far away, so it isn’t really too much fuss to There were a few occasions where I’d work through a platforming segment only to find I didn’t have the energy to use an ability which was required to progress further, meaning I’d have to not only backtrack to a flower but also do the same platforming all over again… believe me when I say it could get pretty annoying.Īdmittedly, most puzzles are found in smaller areas where This means returning to those aforementioned blue flowers time and time again, with some backtracking involved when completing what should be the simplest of tasks. It came with each ability’s dependence on energy consumption, with the extended use of your abilities requiring you to recharge your energy meter. Whilst the puzzles were enjoyable for the most part, there was one problem I did encounter across a few of them.

These abilities are tied to a special energy that you can refill by interacting with the blue flowers that are scattered across the environment, with each use of an ability taking up an energy charge. The bulk of your time in Spirit of the North will be spent solving puzzles, with each mixing up elements of platforming and the use of the abilities you unlock as you progress through the game.

There’s not much else to it than that, with the game featuring no words but rather subtle story-telling elements that are told through environmental details that will demand some open interpretation from the player. Spirit of the North is a little sparse on narrative detail, with no real introduction given to players as they are put in the role of a fox that is wandering across a beautiful land as it looks to follow the trail of the ‘Guardian of the Northern Lights’ (which takes on the ghostly form of another fox). ![]()
