North (PS4) – Review | SquareXO

Rob Pitt says: I played through and completed North on PS4 yesterday and even though it’s still very fresh in my mind with its unusual aesthetic and horrifying visuals, I’m finding it so hard to put into words what I actually played. I guess we can start with the literal, North is a walking simulator with a few simple puzzles thrown in to break up each segment. Before the game begins, you receive a warning letting you know that there is no menu, you can’t pause the game or change any options and if you close the game then you will have to start again from the beginning as North was meant to be experienced in one sitting. With that being said, I grabbed a drink and a snack and played through it from beginning to end in about 45 minutes – this is what I thought.
