Oct. 2024

This game is like playing a Spielberg film, with the mood of the storytelling and big moments. The friends relationships really shine in the story and lead to a nice and satisfying ending. Probably the one gripe I have is when it comes to playing through big moment levels, the difficulty goes up quite a bit and can throw the player off a lot. Not that it makes it a bad thing. It actually makes the story feel more grandios to the player. Still, you will be dying a lot. Regardless, best eight hours spent.

There is literally nothing I do not love about this game. I haven't experienced joy from a video game this way since I was a teenager. I'm not one to exaggerate either. This game nails the feel of the 80's when you're a kid. The graphics are retro styled and the animations are fantastic. The dialog is top notch, not to mention very funny, and the game is packed with hilarious hidden gems. Combat, along with each character's respective abilities are intuitive, engaging, and amusing, and most of all, the SOUNDTRACK...OMG; evocative of scores by John Williams, it is worth listening to by itself. If you love 80's classic movies, fun adventure games, and beautiful music then this game was made for you. Buy it. You will not regret it, unless of course, you're a total dork.

This is a cute game with a cool story but it's pretty buggy and way harder than it has any business being, so I made this patch to make it more fun if you want to try it that way nexus mods crossing souls fun mode in case steam eats the link - https://www.nexusmods.com/crossingsouls/mods/1

This is a strange game to review, I agree with some of the others that the demo is kind of misleading, although not to the extent they make out. The game is an action adventure through and through. Though it's not a sandbox, it's more of a montage of 80's nostalgia in both style, content and the games of the time too. If you're buying this expect a decent story, that's lovingly presented but is a little textbox heavy if you're not into that kind of thing. The characters are great and feel like Goonies mixed with various other influences from the time. The gameplay however is all over the place, 70 percent action adventure, 20 percent puzzles, 10 percent 80's retro gaming. Expect some weird style switch ups, especially for set pieces, and expect some difficulty no matter what odd ball thing they throw at you out of nowhere. If you're okay with that, and relish the nostalgia and presentation it's great. If you're expecting a family friendly adventure sandbox, then you'll be disappointed.

Crossing Souls is a really good and kind of beautiful retro style adventure game that is a love letter to the 80s, alright then the story. Its summer vacation for Chris, his three best friends and his little brother, it was a summer that was supposed to be filled with fun, excitement and Adventure. But when Kevin, Chris's little brother tells the gang he found something cool soon their whole world will be turned upside down and they lives and friendship will be put to the test. Okay then likes, the story is really good it's a big tribute/love letter to the 80s that is chock full of references and Easter eggs, to movies, cartoon shows and music and isn't just a tribute; it also tells a pretty heartfelt story about group of kids facing overwhelming odds and with plenty of great moments from heartfelt, funny and to tragic. I especially love the ending as it was quite beautiful and touching. The gameplay is very good, it's a top down game were you play up to five characters each one with their own abilities that can help you in both puzzles and combat, the combat was good although it did have some difficulty spikes sometimes with some bosses, but was not too bad. I also enjoyed how each of the characters had their own special gifts, like I said their abilities can be used for combat and puzzles like Chris can use a baseball bat to hit projectiles while another of his friends can shoot long range and also has hover boots to get passed large gaps and another friend that is slow, but hits really hard and can move blocks, they were all good. But I will say the only useless character was Kevin but he gets more useful later in the game, also each character has their own health bars so if one character is too weak you can switch to another one immediately, all which helped keep the game play interesting. The puzzles were good it had right balance of difficult, but not like so difficult that you can't figure out. The pixel Graphics art style is really good with a nice use of color even in darker areas; there is also plenty of beautiful detail that makes the whole game's world stand out. The levels are all very good, very diverse with nice scenery with great little touches and detail that make the world alive and just does a great job with these little touches and Easter eggs that captures the feeling of the '80s. The characters are all very good and well written, thought out the game you come to really like these five kids and their struggles and you want to see them succeed, I also really like the villains they were just over the top and enjoyably evil to point that they would not be out of place as cartoon villains from the '80s. The enemies and bosses were okay, they each had some very good looks, although I will say the standard enemies were a bit lackluster as they boil down to just the same only with different looks. I will say the bosses were better; each one was challenging and had their own gimmick like this one boss had the ability to go into paintings like Phantom Ganon from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. The animated cutscenes were very good; it makes it look like you're watching a very old cartoon that was recorded on a VHS tape, but I mean that as a compliment as it feels very 80s. The music is very good with plenty of great tracks that fit every part of the game very well, with dramatic and emotional themes and just random songs that just make you want to stop and listen too. All the references to the 80’s were very good if you're familiar with 80’s culture you'll definitely recognize a lot of it from video games, movies, names, to even scenery. Okay then dislikes, there are some little bugs in the game, but nothing really game breaking and they are hardly noticeable. Now there were some parts of the game that were just kind of bunk, the bus driver boss fight because basically it's a Simon Says memory game, it was very frustrating and the last one would be the DeLorean challenge, basically you use a DeLorean to go back in time, but you have to click a button rapidly to keep your speed up or its game over that was so irritating to do I hate those kind of challenges. I also wish there was a way to skip cutscenes because when I was fighting the final boss I died a few times and I had to listen to the cutscene again, so again I wish there was a way to just simply skip it and get right to the fight. So done with that, Crossing Souls is a really good and kind of beautiful retro Style Adventure game that is a love letter to the 80s, it has a really good story, very good gameplay and a really good pixel Graphics art style. So if you're looking for a pixel art style top down adventure game or a game that's a tribute to the 80s then this game is for you and if you're still not sold, it's published by Devolver Digital and they published some pretty great indie games.
