This is probably the first open-world game that they made, I can see the dev team are trying something new but unfortunaly, the more i looked forward to it, the more disappoined i feel now. First let go to the [b][u] pawsitive[/u] point:[/b] [list] [*]+ Graphic: Not so impressive like in the trailer 7/10 - just Beautiful [*]+ Following the first game, I still love the concept/idea behind the game. Foxes + mystic powers + nature. [*]+ Custonize your fox: There are no doubt, this is the best thing for me [*]+ Open-world: Feel free to running around and Can take up hours to explore [*]+ Weather changing [*]+ Fox's bark or sound are more diversity than Spirit 1 cause were recorded from real foxes. WOW this is a real effort here. [*]+ Your companion is always trying to copy after you bark :D [*]+ The "Target jump" ability: your fox will automatic aim on the higher ground and jump easier. I love it the animation is pawsome [/list] Now for the [b][u] neg...

The game is really frustrating. It consists of running, running and... more running. OK also a bit of waiting for "mana" to recover. I think aithors thought that tha main benefit is the beutiful mountians you see on the way, but graphics is not that impressive either. The first part has a huge benefit - it did not have "action" parts so my doughter could play it - just run arround and solve puzzles on her own. In the second part she can't do it because she is afraid to "die".

SotN 2 is a fairly bold departure from the linear approach of the first game to an open world that is impressively large. There are 5 main zones and the terrain is unusually traversable in a way that often allows the player to find creative ways around intended routes. This isn't really a problem, but it can make it unclear at times whether you're trying to get somewhere purposeful or not. I remember thinking that the first game involved a heck of a lot of walking, but this one is on a whole other level. You unlock speed and jump boosts later and there are a scattering of portals around to save you some time, but I was still doing too much running between places I'd been before. The obelisks are more plentiful and I think being able to teleport to any one of them from your home portals would have been a better design choice. The game uses some unconventional waypoint markers that initially aren't very clear and often are not displayed on the map. I like it when progression involves ...

Overall a relaxing and very satisfying to indulge in game that expanded quite a lot over the first, with a quite nice open world setting. Everything in the game was perfectly tailored to this very calming and casual setting. Very well done. Some optimisation issues are afoot, but nothing that would ruin the experience. Simple yet very touching story. Could not reccommend it more. 10/10

Comparing this to the first one, this surely is 10x better! The first game was really short in my opinion, with achievements that were almost too easy to unlock and a storyline that didn't really explain what has happened exactly, and you were just following along to the next task. On this game there's more story to it, interesting lore scrolls you can find, open world for you to explore, finding new skins and powers, and boss fights. Puzzles have been really fun, some maybe simple yet still entertaining, and better yet I haven't encounter any game breaking bugs! I highly recommend this game! Super fun and relaxing with amazing lore for you to read, and if you like achievement hunting... You might have to work on those this time, which is exactly what I like!

One of my favorite games of all time. It's an absolute must-play if you love foxes! I've never seen a game with such realistic fox animations before.

I’m probably going to have a minority opinion here. This game is not great and I don’t think it’s as strong as the first. I’ve only played about an hour past the second boss but according to the achievements, less than 30% of players even got to this point. So, I’ve played more than most people that touched the game and I think that tells a lot. Everything about this game is bigger than the first. Story, world, scope, and technical issues etc. The problem is the story is uninteresting and the world is unnecessarily large and the things to do are mostly boring. Traveling the world on foot is slow and drab. There are large areas of nothing interesting and the world feels like it was made so large just so the devs could say how big it is. But in my opinion it works against the game. Most of the areas (up to this point) you go to just require some simple but not great feeling platforming and clicking a button on some objects and carrying them to a specific spot. It’s not very...

[b][h1]🌶️Overall rating: 3/5🌶️[/h1][/b] I loved the first game, but this game was too ambitious and lacked direction. Overall, it was still passable as they managed to maintain the core of the game, but I wouldn't call it a good game. I still recommend it for fans of the game and foxes, but maybe wait for a sale. [b][h3]🌶️Gameplay🌶️[/h3][/b] I liked the variety of abilities that the rune system provided, making you actively work towards purchases to make gameplay earlier. It was quite basic, but I liked it. The arrow that helped you jump was a hit-or-miss, as it does get in the way occasionally. Overall I like how they kept most abilities from the first game and built upon it. The puzzles are a little too abstract at times. There is literally nothing that provides hints, which wouldn't be an issue this was a mainstream game, but I've had to give up on quite a few of the puzzles as even google didn't have the answers. [b][h3]🌶️Optimization🌶️[/h3][/b] I'm...

Fun game, but has its flaws. Really looked forward to it as I absolutely love animal games and had high expectations, but the boss fights are too difficult (I nearly lost my mind with them and had to do some 7+ times), you often lose sense of direction and can’t see the red ribbon in the sky, plus the map area is often very bare, and there are practically no tutorials/info as what you’re supposed to do anywhere (including the boss fights). The snowy area is impossible to navigate. Also pretty poorly optimised. On sale, worth it, but don’t think it is for the full price.

Id really like to give this game a good review but unfortunatly i cant, i play on the steam deck for all my games and this game said it was playable for the steam deck on the store page, however im having launch problems, i cant get to the main menu after firing up the game, the screen i get is mostly black with only a quater of what i am assuming is the title screen in the top left corner, i cant use any of the controls on the steam deck so i tried to click on it from the touch screen but the whole screen turns black which then i have to force close the game. I have tried multiple different lauch options but nothing seems to work. I have also tried to refund this game but because i bought it in a bundle with the 1st game to this series and have played more than 2hrs of the 1st game i cant get it refunded. So unfortunaly this will have to go down a negative review as i cant seem to get it to work dispite it telling me on the store page thats is is playable for the steam deck. I w...
