The detail in the rocky outcrops is so featuresome I kept thinking I could latch onto them to make my up the mountains. The water flows more naturally and is clearer than it’s ever been. You can see even more detail in the foxes fur as it blows in the wind, and wince your eyes looking at the dazzling Northern Lights. In 4K, this already beautiful world becomes truly mesmerising. Merge Games have published this next-gen upgrade, fully restoring the game to make it more breathtaking than ever. Which is where this new Enhanced Edition – currently only on PS5 – comes into the fray. When the game first launched, it was still quite a sight to behold, though the colour palette was a bit on the dull side and seemed quite washed out. You start the game as a red fox, intrepidly pawing its way through deeply entrenched snow along gorgeous, high-peaked mountains, but your journey soon sees you encounter a spiritual blue fox, believed to be the guardian of the Northern Lights.Īs your journey continues, you eventually infuse the powers of the guardian fox into yourself and soon find you can achieve amazing feats like soaring through the skies, and restoring lost spirits to their owners. As it’s also one that kind of slipped under the radar just a little bit, perhaps that explains it’s re-emergence. Of all the re-releases at the launch of next-gen, this is one game I never would have expected to see.Īppearing this time last year, Spirit of the North is a beautiful adventure of exploration across mysterious and stunning landscapes.
