DualShockers: 7 / 10 by Tyler Fischer
With its debut project, Fourattic has serviceably captured and recreated a period, with nostalgia and ion bursting through every seam.
COGconnected: 85 / 100 by Anthony Bacchus
It's a mesmerizing action-adventure game with a surprisingly deep story drenched in themes of friendship and sacrifice
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Jon Wahlgren
Come for the wonderful presentation, stay for the baddie boppin'. Crossing Souls nails its 1980s aesthetic, no question there — the 'long-lost-cartoon' game is strong here, right down to the artfully placed VHS artifacts in the animated cutscenes playing out across a sweeping adolescent adventure. Nostalgia aside, the story and beat-em-up gameplay please and surprise in a few key ways, but come with a few too many paper cuts to prevent Crossing Souls from breaking through to that next level.
