Our take on Legacy of Kain™ Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered
Rather than treating traversal and puzzle solving as separate systems, the games make realm shifting central to both. Moving between the Spectral and Material Realms changes routes, reveals paths, and shapes encounters alongside the combat.
What is Legacy of Kain™ Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered?
This collection contains Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2, following Raziel’s quest for revenge after Kain betrays and kills him.
Players fight former vampire allies with claws, telekinetic projectiles, and the Wraith Blade. Defeated enemies provide souls that increase Raziel’s strength.
