"Restless Soul is a fun game, with great characters and a silly story that is sure to make you laugh. The game is a lot more challenging than the simple retro-looking graphics will make you believe."

"While not very challenging, Restless Soul offers a fun experience with its retro themes and copious amounts of humour. You can adjust the difficulty to make things laxer or ignore damage and just take in the story for what it …"

"Restless Soul looks great and can be genuinely funny, at least in small doses. Its various parts aren’t badly designed, they just don’t fit together well, and its insistence on never letting up on the humor prevents any chance of …"

"A humorous adventure in the Beyond with its touches of shoot &s;em up and puzzles, but that stands out in an interesting 2.5D artistic section, and above all, in being a machine gun of jokes with infinite ammunition. Rest assured …"

"Restless Soul has stylish visuals, a cute premise, and enjoyable combat. But it has little of the natural charm of the games it’s trying so hard to emulate, rendering it a mildly amusing but ultimately unoriginal game."

"Whether or not you vibe with Restless Soul&s;s comedy will entirely determine whether you have a good time with it. I&s;m growing rather tired of self-referentiality in-game humor, and I also like my jokes to come from real characters, so …"

"While quite often the game&s;s humor is a decent driver to keep exploring the slow pace keeps it from greater success"

"Restless Soul is a funny tale about following your goals and returning back to life -- even if the Grim Reaper tells you that that&s;s not allowed."

"Unfortunately I didn&s;t find any of them to be very funny, which was only exacerbated by the non-stop parade of attempts at humor. The writing is just not very good, which could have been fine if there was a great …"

"Restless Soul is committed to surprising each and every one of its screens, it is not a really difficult title, although it is somewhat rough in its gameplay in action. Even so, it has certain adjustments to adapt its difficulty. …"

"While the banter has a certain amount of charm, for us it became wearisome somewhat quickly. There’s almost too much of it. You can’t ignore NPCs entirely — there are times when you need pointers — but most offer no …"

"Restless Soul as a pretty difficult game to recommend. Even though it’s not a painful experience, it comes up short on almost every facet by which I would rate a game’s success. Its gameplay is shallow, the narrative is simple …"
