    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 delightfully nostalgic romp, balancing original content and nods to the past. Featuring diverse gameplay levels which touch on most every aspect of 80's retro gaming, enough challenge to be rewarding, and a surprisingly touching story, this is a must have for anyone who grew up shouting "Goonies never say die!"

    If you dream of having a bedroom with Michael Jackson and Ghostbusters posters, with a cathode ray television inside and '80s atmosphere all over, Crossing Souls is the game you were waiting for.

    Crossing Souls is a good adventure game inspired in the best films and video games of 80'. It's funny, clever and beautiful, but is missing more puzzles, a better combat system and more original story.

    Crossing Souls is a little scrappy, rough around the edges. But at its core it tells a great story. An adventure filled with twists and turns and well-earned moments of introspection and emotion. The fact that it nails this part of its inspiration, that being the Spielberg-like vision of the 1980s, make it a success. Adventure, action, and friendship drive the experience, which make its short comings far less visible than its bedrooms filled with posters for films like Ghostbusters. In the end we love that Crossing Souls isn’t merely a compendium of references to things like Back to the Future and Poltergeist. There’s definite substance below the shiny neon ‘80s surface.

    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. This little chunk of the 1980s is filled with terrific, nicely-detailed visuals, fun character-switching gameplay, and a unique vision of the afterlife with several impressive touches.

    Crossing Souls is a "feel good game" for anyone who grew up during the eighties.

    Crossing Souls is a love letter to the '80s. It's an excellent, albeit clunky, nostalgia rollercoaster.

    An earnest and impactful adventure, written within the margins of an homage to 80s cinema. [Recommended]

    That it ultimately collapses into a string of unpleasant platforming sequences that the core design simply can’t sustain means I grew to loathe Crossing Souls, once it entirely abandoned its redeeming features for everything it couldn’t get right.

Pensei que o jogo seria realmente uma viagem aos anos 80's mas, foi feito de forma brusca, o conceito foi todo explorando esteriótipos para gerar uma certa ''falsa nostalgia''

    o jogo tem mecânicas legais e história interessante mas erra grave no conceito e perde seu potencial.    … Full Review »
