Our take on Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 (2001)
Instead of keeping exploration within one stable world, the game makes time travel and real-time realm changes part of its structure. Environmental access depends on shifting states and using acquired abilities, while the pursuit of Kain carries the story across Nosgoth’s past.
