10 Best Video Game Secrets, Easter Eggs & References Of 2018
10. Crossing Souls - Breaking Bad
Crossing Souls is a brilliant game that unabashedly wears its references on its sleeve.
Steeped in 80's nostalgia, riding on the high revived by Stranger Things, Fourattic's top-down action adventure romp has it all. Movie posters and videotapes parodying Star Wars, Cobra and Ghostbusters, cassette tapes of Lionel Ritchie, a shop akin to Mr. Wing's from Gremlins.
So it came as a surprise to see a more modern Easter egg thrown in the mix, in the form of roof pizza.
In the third season of Breaking Bad, Walter White is trying to make amends with his wife. Having discovered he's making meth, she's understandably a bit miffed and not in the mood for pizza. Walt vents his frustration and hoofs it onto the roof (in one take, apparently) before storming off.
Faithfully recreated here, even hero Chris remarks that, "You gotta be pretty angry with the world" to do that. It's a nice anachronistic nod to one of this decade's most seminal shows.
