Game Ratings for Crossing Souls Video Game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 4 / 10 by Tyler Treese
Crossing Souls has a bunch of elements that should be right up my alley, but some flat writing and uninspired design really keeps it from hitting the desired marks. There's a good idea here, and I have no doubt that a teen adventure starring ghosts and Egyptian Gods could be really dope, but a cool concept doesn't make a great game. Instead, it just makes the end result all the more disappointing.
TheSixthAxis: 6 / 10 by Gareth Chadwick
With more depth to the combat, Crossing Souls could be a great game. As it stands, though, the lack of difficulty means that the only reason to drive forward is the story, so a recommendation relies heavily on your view of the 80s and reference-heavy stories set during that decade.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Kyle LeClair
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.
