Crossing Souls Reviews
Crossing Souls is heavy on nostalgia, but somewhat shallow when it comes to gameplay. The result is a lovingly crafted ode to an era that's neither bodacious nor bogus.
Crossing Souls is a fun, nostalgic walk through the 80s, but it lacks its own personality.

The game wears its influences so brazenly that the entire experience ends up feeling listless, predictable, and trite.
Devolver Digital's Crossing Souls isn't afraid to wear its love for the 80's on its sleeve, but thankfully, there's more to the story on top of it. While it isn't without its missteps, using interesting and unique gameplay elements, diverse locations, and well-rounded characters, the arcade adventure game will give both modern and retro gamers something to enjoy.
With its debut project, Fourattic has serviceably captured and recreated a period, with nostalgia and passion bursting through every seam.
Crossing Souls is a "feel good game" for anyone who grew up during the eighties.

Crossing Souls has a bunch of elements that should be right up my alley, but some flat writing and uninspired design really keeps it from hitting the desired marks. There's a good idea here, and I have no doubt that a teen adventure starring ghosts and Egyptian Gods could be really dope, but a cool concept doesn't make a great game. Instead, it just makes the end result all the more disappointing.
For those of you with strong attachments to the 80s, Crossing Souls is a sure cure for your nostalgia; for those without, Crossing Souls simply feels like a game that's trying too hard.
A really good story and a true love letter to fans of the 80s. It's a great game, which unfortunately ends at some point.

I had a lot of fun playing Crossing Souls. The game turned out to be a lot more than I thought it was and even though I'd seen the references and heard the jokes, I could relate to it. Not to mention how much I love the overall look and sound of the game. It leaves you wanting more, but in a good way.
Crossing Souls is a love letter to the '80s. It's an excellent, albeit clunky, nostalgia rollercoaster.

There's definite substance below the shiny neon ‘80s surface.
Crossing Souls has charm in spades, from its perfectly emulated presentation of the Golden Age of Film to its engaging exploration. While its combat leaves a lot to be desired and its puzzles are shrug-inducing most of the time, Crossing Souls won’t walk away without some new fans
While it may leave you wanting more in certain areas, Crossing Souls is still an excellent action game with a terrific, gripping story you'll want to see to the very end.
Crossing Souls is an excellent, albeit clunky, nostalgia trip.
Crossing Souls may still be a game I revisit when I need to be comforted by the sheer joy of its characters, world, references, and music. Fourattic clearly loves the era as much as many of us do, and it shows. For all its references, the callbacks to different pop culture events never feel forced. Crossing Souls is a helluva fun ride, and a game I'd strongly recommend to anyone with a love of He-Man, coin-op arcades, and bitchin' synth tunes.
Crossing souls is a masterpiece of both story telling and nostalgia. The gameplay is great and the game is as stylish as the eighties themselves. You will come for the nostalgia and stay for the genuinely brilliant story,
While Crossing Souls treads the line between challenging and frustrating, there is a lot here to get excited about. Strong and varied gameplay mixes beautifully with a well written story and great music and graphics.
Crossing Souls relies too often on tropes and pop-culture references that it forgets what makes it good. A casual adventure game in a beautiful universe.
I loved Crossing Souls as it was a gateway back to the movies, cartoons, and games of my childhood. It doesn't stop at Nostalgia though, the game has some fun mechanics and interesting puzzles built into it as well. There are some really satisfying boss levels and some really cool retro game throwback levels.
