VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In the end, Spirit of the North 2 only feels like a marginal step-up from its predecessorpartly due to its current shoddy state.Some lessons have been learned to make the gameplay and storytelling more cohesive and consistent, but it also discovers new problems by adapting the foundation to an unengaging open world.The vast expanse to brag about in marketing winds up feeling like wasted potential; and, as a result, so does this sequel overall."
