TechRaptorCourtney EhrenhoflerDec 20199/10Spirit of the North has much to offer, even though some of the finer points get lost in between the cracks, it's a journey well worth taking.

Cubed3Aug 20209/10Spirit of the North's enchanting journey is magnificent on the Nintendo Switch Lite's screen, as played on for this review, and is even better on a large TV screen. The, at times, challenging game, has collectibles that add to the replay value, and playing as an unlocked snow fox in the snow magnifies the immersion of the game, with levels that beg to be experienced again simply for the fun of enjoying their beauty.

Checkpoint GamingHayley LouiseMay 20258.5/10Spirit of the North 2 is a visually stunning open-world adventure that confidently stands apart from its predecessor, featuring an emotionally moving orchestral soundtrack that wraps around the vivid scenery like a loving embrace. Making progress and completing puzzles feels rewarding, and even just exploring the vast environments feels like a reward all the same. The story is engaging and emotional, and it's easy to grow personally attached to the little fox as they learn just how big their world truly is.

Nintendo LifeOliver ReynoldsMay 20204/10Spirit of the North simply doesn’t hold up well on the Switch, and with poor gameplay and visuals, its relatively short 3 to 4-hour length felt much longer as a result.
