![]() This is only pushed further with the graphical prowess of the PS5, and the touch up that this year-old game has had really does shine in the remaster.Īs it is, the gameplay remains the same. When combined, these features truly do create an immersive and atmospheric world, pulling you in and making you actively want to explore. Individually, none of these aspects are anything out of the ordinary, but Spirit of the North is definitely a sum of its parts. Most impressive to me was the way in which the fox bristles, with its fur prickling and blowing in the breeze. Snow flurries over white peaks ice glistens as it reflects the light. Instead, Spirit of the North prefers to show rather than tell, and the fact that it is a beautiful game to look at only helps. ![]() ![]() As a fox, there is no speech, or obtrusive text boxes telling you where to go or what to do. Playing as a red fox, the initial introduction is a masterclass in minimalism. Straight out the gate, it is hard to understate how impressive Spirit of the North is to look at. While Spirit of the North really is something to look at, it fails to make any other substantial changes to a game that isn’t really that old to begin with. This PS5 remaster ups the visually impressive landscapes and vistas, tweaking and fine-tuning what was already an impressive looking game so that it really is a feast for the eyes. As we said in our original review, Spirit of the North is a gorgeous looking game, offering a fantastical version of Iceland, steeped in mystery.
