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 it connecting with players on anything but a surface level. If this style of humor is up your alley, you could have a fun, if forgettable, weekend with it, but everyone else should stay away.

RESTLESS SOUL takes nostalgic minimalism and runs with it. The game presents enjoyable challenges through a combination of simple and familiar gameplay elements that anyone can pick up and play. I'd say this is a must-play this Halloween 2022, and even beyond - especially if you're a scaredy cat, like me!

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 to a fault, and the aesthetics don’t nearly impress. I’d suggest maybe giving the afterlife a pass, because Restless Soul is a mere ghost of a game.
