Since this is a smaller studio with less manpower and lower budget, I'll go a little easier on this game. I was teetering between 2 or 3 stars the entire game. It would get lowered to 2 when I was frustrated with controls and/or trophies but get raised to a 3 when some of the more beautiful vistas popped up. I really enjoyed sliding down the snowy mountains in chapter 1 and running through the huge valleys in later chapters. I also really like the concept of the game: befriending a spirit guide, saving the shamans, going to the spiritual realm, and becoming the aurora borealis at the end.. I just wish it was more fun to play through.

The puzzles were fine. However, the controls felt clunky and needed a lot more fine-tuning to justify searching for all of the collectibles. There were tons of invisible walls, and you would have to get a running start to be able to clear smaller obstacles (that you should really have been able to clear just from jumping from a stationary position). Your fox didn't feel smooth when maneuvering, and the speed didn't bother me at the beginning of the game but near the end (especially with chapter 7's collectibles) we really could have used a faster speed option that wasn't just a dash that needed to recharge between uses. I would often miss easy jumps because the controls weren't as responsive as I would have liked.

That said, it's a very chill, quaint game. If you ignore the trophies I would even say it's pretty cozy! I think this game is worth a try, especially if you're in the mood for something shorter!
