Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2

Installed LoK: BO2 on 2 of 3 computers of mine (Surface Pro 6 and an ITX build with a Pentium G4560 and GTX 970, both Win10 x64) and I had varying levels of failure on both. I couldn't get it to boot at all on my Surface. It instantly crashes when I try to run, despite running through several fixes for it. I had a bit more success on my ITX PC, being able to start it, and get through the opening videos. Then it locks up on the menu and all I can do is use the Windows key to close it. I don't plan on asking for a refund because I am hopeful it'll run properly in the future, but I feel like there should be less hoops to jump through to get a game to run.

Tried every setting, but game doesn´t even start. Very sad, as I´d really love to play this game one more time :(

Please add French language

Game doesn't load, just stalls after the intro. GOG can't help with the issue so you're better off digging out your old PS2 disc and running an emulator.

Blood Omen had Kain wandering around dungeons and between towns with a Legend of Zelda/Isometric Metroidvania sort of gameplay, and by the end of it Kain was able to rain lightning down from the sky and do all sorts of cool stuff. But Blood Omen 2 is just a hack and slash on rails spectacle fighter, it has none of the freedom or exploration that was in the first Blood Omen and Kain is weak. This game doesn't even have the elements of exploration found in Soul Reaver, it's entirely on rails, and it sucks. For the love of god I don't understand how anyone could give it a good score, unless they just never played any other game in the series and found the idea of playing a vampire novel.
