A historical game made with plenty of passion that succeeds in most areas
Crossing Souls has charm in spades, from its perfectly emulated presentation of the Golden Age of Film to its engaging exploration. While its combat leaves a lot to be desired and its puzzles are shrug-inducing most of the time, Crossing Souls won’t walk away without some new fans
While it’s nice to have back what’s become something of a legend in its absence, you know what they say about meeting your heroes
