Legacy of Kain™ Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered

This collection includes Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2. You play as Raziel, a wraith who rises centuries after Kain, his former master, betrays and executes him. Raziel sets out on a quest for revenge in the ruined world of Nosgoth.

Explore interconnected environments, traverse platforms, solve environmental puzzles, and battle vampire foes. Raziel can attack with claws, telekinetic energy, and the Wraith Blade; defeating enemies lets him devour their souls. Vampires may require more than repeated attacks to finish off, so the surroundings can be important in combat.

Shift between the Material and Spectral Realms to change the landscape, find routes, and solve puzzles. New abilities open paths through previously inaccessible areas. The first game emphasizes interconnected exploration and backtracking, while the sequel follows a more linear route. The remasters let players switch between original and updated graphics.

Players often praise the story, dialogue, and voice performances, alongside the dark atmosphere and world of Nosgoth. Exploration, puzzles, and shifting between realms are also recurring highlights, and some enjoy revisiting the games with updated visuals. Reviews also frequently caution that the movement, camera, platforming, and combat feel dated or awkward, with navigation and puzzles sometimes proving frustrating.
