  5.0

  NORTH carries an important message that it wants to impart, but whether it manages to successfully convey it to the player is debatable. The cyberpunk atmosphere helps it to stand apart from other games on the Nintendo eShop. But, with the developer having exerted more effort to create unpredictable and trippy scenes, you soon come to the realization that it is reading the letters sent from brother to sister that beat at the heart of the experience.

  5.5

  While I give North credit for trying to tackle relevant social issues in a somewhat experimental gameplay style, I can’t ignore its technical simplicity, short duration and lack of replayability. It might be an honest attempt at bringing artistic gaming to the masses, but I feel like its publisher is selling it just like the previous games it released: as a quick, cheap and easy way to get 1000 points or a platinum trophy. North is alright, but it could have been a lot better, and a lot less cryptic.
