Infuse is totally aware of this fact, and has added a quick-to-access photo mode to proceedings, to ensure every inch of the landscapes can be captured. Speaking of art, Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition could be screenshotted and hung on any wall. Purely the objective here is to bask in the spectacle, and occasionally be reminded that this is actually controllable, and not an art piece. With its relaxing atmosphere, and frankly beautiful soundtrack, however, intensive gameplay certainly isn't the aim. For all the space available across the sprawling environments, in terms of gameplay there really isn't a lot to crack on with. Occasionally jump between a platform, wag tail a statue, use flower to activate monolith, rinse and repeat. Mechanics are learnt very quickly within the first half hour or so, and these become the staples right up until the end credits. It's a real shame, because the whole style is the highlight, and with moments like a miss-timed jump or wall glitch, it's easy to be taken out of the experience.Īs for the experience itself, the best description would be short but pleasant.

When traversing environments, it also doesn't quite move with the grace you would expect, and will occasionally get stuck in scenery to the point of a full reset to ensure progression. For all the effort made there however, the fox itself looks just a little off.
A delight is leaving the controller idle to see the furry playmate curl up around itself, and blissfully snooze until ready to continue.

It's a nice grounding of realism when a tap of a face button produces nothing but a quick wag and bark (the movements and sounds being realistic enough, to almost lose the whole console and TV set up to a pet taking a kamikaze leap towards the screen). It's simple, its open to as much depth as a player is willing to put into discovery, and, most importantly, it works.įoxy has all the moves a fox would be expected to have, none of which are game specific. Essentially, the storyline boils down to: Fox goes walkabouts, finds magic ghost fox that is also the guardian of the northern lights, and is then tasked with their protection and salvation. The more time taken to explore every nook and cranny, the more chance of gaining a greater understanding of exactly what happened to plague the landscape with a plant-like, Twilight Princess-esque infection. Moving from area to area, exploration is the name of the game here. Following closely in the vein of titles such as Journey, the majority of storytelling involved rests firmly in the paws of the player.
