One of the Predecessor of souls-like genre

This is not really a negative review but rather informal/neutral one

It is enjoyable when it works, camera is off and will move around involuntarily.

Movement is rather limiting one smallest step and you are bound to backtrack all the way.

Most of the places looks identical so its easy to get lost and give up

This is not a bad remaster however it is easy to see Aspyr doesn't really care long as their work meets lowest quota (which applies for tomb raider and other remasters as well)

Overall would not recommend unless you are willing to accept its fatal flaws and go along with it.

If you like that old school jank, this has got it. The story is all over the place and the game can be frustrating at times but it has a lot of cool stuff going for it. I think it is a good choice for those out there that like older games or those that are open minded to them. I loved the dismemberment, impaling, and launching bad guys off ledges. Don't mod it, you want the hand crafted experience.

Sistemate questa benedetta videocamera. Dopo 1 ora mi viene da vomitare... remastered davvero minimal. Pagato 5 €, anche troppo. Un gioco come questo avrebbe bisogno di nuova linfa, non sta roba..

Good Game, Very interesting Predecessor of a MetroidVania in 3d

NIce game.

Vampirism is honestly one the best gameplay mechanics. In most games, the combat is generally negative sum. Designers either have to make combat encounters roadblocks you are railroaded into, or make enemies drop some essential collectable, both of which can feel artificial and will still encourage you to avoid fighting if you can. But with vampirism, fighting is you main method of healing, and since your hunger drains your health, you need to keep fighting to just stay alive: it's a fantastic way to organically make you engage with the combat system. Plus it also answers that whole ludonarrative dissonance thing about your protagonist slaughtering hundreds: you're a vampire, of course you're a monster.
Soul Reaver has the great basis, but it's good for all sorts of reasons. There is no wasteland quite like the "corpse of Nosgoth", not something marred by a great calamity or nuclear fire, but instead a world that has rotted away, its throat slit long ago. It's gloomy, while still keeping some grim sense of liveliness, as those who remain struggle in their own games of predator and prey. This makes a great contrast with the locales of Soul Reaver 2, which takes place before Nosgoth's ruin. And the cherry on top of all of this is Soul Reaver's main gimmick: shifting to the spirit realm at any time, as you watch the world warp before your eyes. Opening passages and accessing abilities not accessible in the other dimension gives the world so much depth and just makes it plain interesting to explore. It's all accompanied by a perfectly atmospheric and dynamic soundtrack.
It's clear this remaster had some budget restraints, most obviously in the outdated animations that don't fit well with the new models, but the ability to switch to the originals at any time allows you to enjoy them more-or-less as they were.

Amazing story. Fantastic voice acting. Sadly the combat system did not age well. It was fun to replay this game with updated graphics.

Soul Reaver is an almost Shakespearean epic about vampires that oozes its own style. You'll seldom find something similar.

The Soul Reaver games were always on my radar, but I never had the chance to play them. It's such a time capsule of what was cool in the early PS1 days. Art style, presentation and total commitment to playing a vampire badass.

I'll keep the review brief: If you're looking a game with a great story, surprisingly sharp writing, that has actors who carry the game with their God-tier voice acting... This game is for you.

This game also isn't perfect. Its a remaster so upscaled graphics make the game shiny but the problems of it being an old game are glaring. Camera fights you sometimes, the inputs are very slow and the game can look muddy and uninteresting even with the updated textures. It might put you off.

I played this mostly on the steamdeck and it handles perfectly.

I do want to mention the bonus content. Demos, cut areas, behind the scene videos, scripts, fan art... Its a good vampire soul sucking time.

If you're looking to get into Legacy of Kain, outside of Blood Omen (where you play Kain), Soul Reaver is a great entry into the franchise.

It's really fun and I remember how to do most of everything the story in these games is amazing

An excellent remake. True to the original - Buy Buy Buy.
