Spirit of the north 2 released today (May 8th 2025) and thanks to Infuse Studios We had the chance to check the game out beforehand.
The game opens with a character creation but for a fox so.. a fox creator? There are ample selections as sliders within the creator to change the look of your animal to your personal preference.
Spirit of the north 2 does an absolutely wonderful job of portraying emotion on screen with music, some of the scenes within the game are made so emotional due to the musical score and I absolutely love it.
Exploring each area will have the player solving puzzles, finding hidden pages of lore and collectible items. These items allow the player to learn more about the games deeper lore and unlock area and skills.
As mentioned before the game has a skill tree and this tree allows the player to unlock skills such as lower fall damage, more hp and a lot more.
Upon exploring each zone I found that the areas are beautifully crafted and the game really shines in the open areas. However I personally had an issue with the jumping mechanic.
Jumping to higher places within the game requires the player to position themselves in a way so the blue arrow shows, once the blue arrow is displayed you press space and the jump animation plays, while this sounds amazing on paper it can sometimes lead to clumsy gameplay. However I do see why this was implemented as a design choice given how small some of the jumps are.
Overall though Spirit of the North 2 is an amazing addition to the series the areas are beautifully crafted, the story is emotional and the music portrays what’s on screen beautifully. We highly recommend it.
