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.

Crossing Souls is an action-adventure game with a strong retro vibe, inspired by the 80s. You play as a group of kids trying to uncover a mysterious government conspiracy, switching between characters with different abilities.
The story was quite fun, even if some parts felt a bit over the top. The pixel art and cutscenes were nicely done, and the music fit the overall vibe pretty well.
You can get 33 achievements for doing various things like finishing the story, finding collectibles, or beating mini-games. I got all of them, and it took me around 27.4 hours to complete everything.
I got the game for 2,95€ on Sale way back in May 2023 so yea.
It was fun and had some nice moments – so try it out if you like story-driven indie games with a nostalgic touch!

Love the pixel graphics and old school, hand drawn cut scenes. Gameplay is really solid! And the vibes are immaculate! Feels like Stranger Things meets Earthbound to me. A+ soundtrack.

the stamina mechanic can be annoying at some times, but the game is very good overall

Open world is a delight and the California setting is something to vibe with. Pixel art style, fun combat with different types of characters and abilities and a solid story with an old school feel soundtrack.

I absolutely love this game, even though the ending was somehow unsatisfying.

Vibe game. I certainly wasn't in the 80's, but their atmosphere hooks me in
