The value story

It has never been cheaper than $11.99. That was June 2026. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 12 in the 17 months tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 15 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, AER Memories of Old ($14.99, scores 55) beats it on value, while it beats Spirit of the North ($19.99, scores 45).

Of the 430 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to September 2026.

Finishing takes 12.8 hours; clearing it takes 43, which is 3.4 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 12.8 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

Spirit of the North 2 is a good game I have some slightly mixed feelings on. As a sequel its very good, building right off of the adventure and and mythos of the first game, the open world was not a bad idea to emphasize those themes. Overall, I enjoyed the running around, exploring, doing puzzles, and seeing where I could go. What I didn't enjoy as much were two things; the performance, and the bossfights...

Started playing the game again when the "Very Low" lighting settings were introduced; it no longer kills my PC to render particles and lighting. Decent photos can still be taken on the lowest of settings, too.

Love this game! It's so beautiful. Some of it I can't figure out and have to look online but that's more user error than anything. I haven't tired of the music either. Worth every penny 🩷
