The story takes you within the real world and into that of the spirit land as well, and it’s this which is the best part of the game, ensuring that Spirit of the North is a very strong addition to the visual storytelling genre. As you journey onwards, you discover ruins of forgotten civilisations, skeletons of men, and ancient monuments that need to be explored as you move through. Your journey is intertwined with a female spirit fox who acts as a guide… and at times your savior. In Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition, your fox spots a mysterious red smoke trail coming from a mountain on the other side of the world, setting off to discover what it all means.

When you do fall into what it is able to deliver though, you’ll discover that Spirit of the North has been inspired by the breathtaking scenery of Iceland, influenced by Nordic folklore and mythology. Due to this Spirit of the North will get compared to the likes of Journey although that’s not a bad game to be held against. Instead it is entirely told through the visuals. The game follows the life of an ordinary red fox, with no words or voice-over to tell the story. Which of the light switch on events are you excited to go to?
