“The Legacy of Kain series is, admittedly, one of my favourite game series of all times. It's hard to imagine that the original Soul Reaver game was released over 25 years ago, so being able to have a remastered version…”
“Loved it upon initial release but I think it was mostly because of the visuals. Although this game was awesome and groundbreaking for it's time It feels dated now. I think for the uninitiated this is worth playing but I…”
“Alright, this is a tough one. First of all, if you've tried the Soul Reaver games before and didn't care for them, this won't change your mind. There isn't much to see beyond some better performance (most of the time)…”

“I was okay for the first few hours, I was really enjoying the story and worldbuilding and the voice acting was excellent. But then the game started asking too much precision for these godawful controls.”
“Good port! But the actual games are kind of overrated. I had played the original before and I managed to complete it here again, but I tapped out 2-3 hours into SR2. The worldbuilding and narrative might be interesting,…”
“Even if the nostalgic joy of playing this classic with it's polished sheen wasn't enough (or if you missed out on playing the original years ago), it would still be worth picking up. Peak storytelling and one of the…”

“A classic tale of revenge mostly told through sokoban puzzles. Seriously though, the games are fun, although I was clearly in the target audience for these games when I first played them when I was 13 or 14. The…”
“I LOVE THIS GAME!!! This is one of those games were not only gameplay matters, but the strategies, the puzzles, and the rich story-telling brought so much to this game! I remember when I played the first Soul Reaver as…”

“If you played the original Soul Reaver games, these are just as you remember them. In fact, if you're playing on a controller, you can click the right stick to swap it from Remastered textures back to the originals. The…”
“I've been playing LoK since 2004 and this remaster is a great way to bring back the games. The graphics are improved, the games introduce new quality of life features (including a photo mode!) and keeps everything…”

“An old PSX classic with a great story and all the rough edges that come with an old Playstation era game. If you are looking for a faithful remaster of the original series this is as faithful as you can get while also…”
“Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered contains both Soul Reaver games, part of the Legacy of Kain franchise set in the fantasy realm of Nosgoth where we play as Raziel, a vampire wraith betrayed by his former…”
“A decent remaster of a duology that also helps introduce the series to a new generation. Although some of the character redesigns are at times a bit questionable (the Zephonim look like clean necromorphs, and Rahab…”

“My apologies to the [i]Legacy of Kain[/i] community at large, but I feel I need to give this Remaster a [b]very cautious thumbs-down[/b], even though I still enjoy these games from my (late) formative years on many…”

“The remastering of the first game is very good. And the intro alone, which is already one of the best intros to a game, looks and sounds so much better! Sadly though, this remaster overall is incredibly disappointing. I…”

“It's a fine remaster, and the characters are great. However, the player agency really sucks (and that's in the original too.) There's a lot of delay with inputs and movement is frustrating; not to mention the camera.…”
“I really wanted to like the remastered version of Soul Reaver more, but it still suffers from many of the same issues I had with the original. I believe Soul Reaver is very much a product of its time, and not the…”

“The best-looking video game on the PS1, a fully 3D Metroidvania with combat that requires you to use the environment and platforms, moving through dimensions that affect the geometry—quite impressive. However, keep in…”
“Great voice acting, cool puzzle metroidvania. Would have loved it as a kid, the aesthethics and the setting still hold up. Personally lack of any map or pointers made it difficult to progress at times, otherwise, a good…”

“The Soul Reaver duology is a bit of a mixed bag. The combat isn't fun, but that's not the focus and it doesn't get too annoying. The exploration was remarkable for its time with its lack of visible load screens even when using fast travel or transitioning between two versions of…”
