The lush yet icy Icelandic landscape really adds the finishing touch to Spirit of the North. Steeped in Nordic mythology, the environments naturally enhance that level of dreamy, almost otherworldly atmosphere. That being said, that same lack of direction really works to enhance the dream-like atmosphere. While this is something to celebrate about the experience, it can also be somewhat frustrating when you don’t know where to go or what to do. Instead of rushing from on objective to the other, players are encouraged to find their own way on their own time. This more laid-back form of storytelling also helps to keep the game relaxing. Whether you choose to go straight from A to Z or you take your time to fully explore, it shapes the way you interact with the story in a really smart way.
