GameGrinAlana DunitzSep 20228/10Restless 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.

SwitchRPGKierra LanierSep 2022Restless Soul is a funny tale about following your goals and returning back to life -- even if the Grim Reaper tells you that that's not allowed.

The Game CraterAlonzo NashSep 20227.5/10While 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 is. With plenty to explore and 100 NPCs to interact with, you'll have a hard time not chuckling while enjoying this indie gem.

DestructoidZoey HandleySep 20223/10Restless 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 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.

NintendoWorldReportMatthew ZawodniakSep 20224/10Unfortunately I didn'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 game to get attached to, but that sadly isn't the case. Between poor writing and gameplay with less depth than a Mario Party minigame, Restless Soul simply doesn't have anything I think is worth seeing.
