    Young Souls is an adventure that splits its time between brawler and RPG, with the latter part stifled, however, by the game's brevity and lack of balance. If you're interested in co-op play and you're into the more action-heavy side of things, then you might enjoy a good handful of hours with a friend.

    With a more concerted effort to keep the experience exciting as the playthrough carries on, Young Souls could have easily been so much more. Instead, you have a game where you’ve seen the lion’s share of what it has to offer after three or so of the game’s ten hours.

    Gorgeous and aided by satisfying combat mechanics, Young Souls is damaged by inconsistent difficulty, balance issues, bugs, and cheap boss encounters.

    The gameplay is pretty polished and it's very challenging on it's own right it is rewarding when you commit to master it, the various accesories and weapons can make your own experience pretty custom. There is lot to love about this game, the character development of Jinn and Tristan with the Profesor, The goblins and their relationship with their leader.
    It's a very quirky Game with it's own flaws but everything it does right sums for that, it's a short little story about self development,trust,fear, and acceptance.
