Reuniting them with staffs opens new pathways to begin with, though it becomes more of an optional extra later on. Staffs are also lying about, alongside the skeletal remains of some long-deceased shaman spirits. When powered up, the Fox can release bursts of energy to destroy any rooted corruption, channel your spiritual body to another location for a short amount of time, and spirit dash to land those extra-long jumps.
That’s obtained from blue flowers and you can transfer this energy to power up stone tethers. Starting off with a basic moveset of running, jumping, and picking up objects, the Fox gradually unlocks new spiritual powers, which require spirit energy to activate. Some are easily dealt with, like matching symbols between a set of statues, but it gets more complicated as you advance.
We say fight, but there's no combat here this experience is completed via solving environmental puzzles. All we get are occasional location prompts from our guardian friend, who leads us on this journey as we fight back against the mysterious plague. It’s a big world to explore, filled with murals that depict past events and there’s no mini map to guide you.
#SPIRIT OF THE NORTH GAMEPLAY UPGRADE#
Drawing heavily from Nordic folklore, it brings us an artistic experience that offers a comprehensive visual upgrade but remains held back by cumbersome controls.įrom snowy tundras to mountainside greenery, Spirit of the North pulls you into this intriguing tale through environmental storytelling, no narrators or dialogue included. Set within Iceland, we find ourselves playing an ordinary Fox, guided by the Guardian of the Northern Lights after the land and skies become stained by red corruption. It’s been a year since Spirit of the North first took us on an adventure on PlayStation 4, but with the PlayStation 5’s recent launch, Infuse Studio has brought it back for a second round.
