Absolutely hands-down one of the greatest single player story/character-driven experiences in video game history. These games are a literal piece of video game canon and should be played by anyone who enjoys a fantastic storytelling experience. The remaster is now the definitive way to experiences these two games, and I can't believe how well the devs pulled this off. I seriously think that every single person should play these games not only as a testament to history of third-person adventure games, but also as a thank you to the dedication that passionate archivists and developers poured into this project.

I can't say enough good things about Legacy of Kain, and frankly I'm biased because this series is very close to my heart. I have been planning on getting a massive Soul Reaver tattoo for quite some time and with the remaster coming out, now is officially the time to do it. I never thought I would see this series come back after so many years, and it warms my heart to know that fans are still here supporting all of the writers, voice actors, developers, and artists who were involved.

If you're debating whether or not you should play this game, the answer is right in front of you— of course you should. You are literally experiencing a piece of video game history akin to things like No One Lives Forever, Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid, Shadow of the Colossus, or The Talos Principle. This is an important marker in adventure games, story-heavy games, third person games, whatever. Just get out there and play it. Experience the love and passion that so many of us grew up with, you won't regret it.

Vae Victus.
