Spirit of the North 2

Instantly got softlocked in a cave. Spent 45 minutes trying to find anything, a clue whatsorever. No way to reset or get out, would have had to restart from the beginning. Expected more from a game that was released over a year ago than still having these massive bugs.

i love fox :D this game is very pretty and cozy <3

I loved Spirit of the North and I was so looking forward to this game. The world and graphics are gorgeous, it looks like there's a really in-depth story, and after a bit of trial and error, the fox isn't too hard to control (so far - I'm not looking forward to the boss battles, if I can even get that far.) There's a really HUGE issue though. If you don't follow the correct path sequence at certain critical points - like following the raven out of the cave after Grimnir's resurrection, with the lava rising - everything just stops. Go the wrong way (and it's REALLY hard to tell where you're supposed to go!) and the raven disappears, nothing happens, and you're trapped in a limited environment with no way forward. Death just resets you to the nearest spawn, no help there. And because there's only one autosave, you now have two options. 1) Restart the entire game (Heaven help me if this happens again even later in the game!) or 2) mess about manually loading autosave files from Steam (and without knowing the exact time stamps, there's no other way to know which save is which, I've messed about a lot to find the right files). This is a SERIOUS impediment to enjoyable game play. A glitch like this should be reset at least on death, or you should have an autosave from before the critical sequence. A lovely game has been completely ruined because whenever I mess up, I know I'm going to fudge the path sequencing and have to spend a lot of trial and error reloading a prior savepoint, when the game could just have had a few 'critical juncture' fixed savepoints instead of constantly updating the autosave. I really wish I could ask for a refund, because I don't think I'm coming back to this game: but I've already played over the minimum 2 hours (which is nothing in such a large exploration game). Very, VERY disappointed. Will not be buying any further games or content from this company.
