Try Hard GuidesErik HodgesMay 20259/10Though I don’t agree with every decision the game makes, its hard to deny that Spirit of the North 2 is a beautiful and relaxing romp through a world that feels very real, where players can interact with what appears to be living history and collect cool fox powers along the way.

ImpulsegamerMay 20254/5In the end, Spirit of the North 2 successfully builds upon its predecessor, offering a more expansive world, deeper mechanics plus a richer narrative. With its visual beauty, atmospheric storytelling and engaging puzzles, this is a must play for fans of the original or for those looking for similar games such as Journey and Abzû, this mystical fox's journey is one worth embarking on.

Rectify GamingWill "FncWill" HogeweideMay 20258.5/10For fans of the original, Spirit of the North 2 is a meaningful continuation. It respects the meditative tone of the first game while broadening its horizons with smarter mechanics, better pacing, and a more expansive world. This sequel doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it refines almost every part of what made the original special. It’s still more about reflection than action, more about feeling than plot—but with more tools, more challenges, and more world to lose yourself in. Ultimately, Spirit of the North 2 is a thoughtful evolution of a niche experience. It may stumble at times, but its beauty, ambition, and spirit are undeniable. This is a game that asks you to slow down, to observe, and to immerse yourself in a place where nature and magic intertwine.

Spirit of the North 2 ultimately falls flat as a sequel, delivering an OK story and middling gameplay with a noticeable lack of polish.
