Legacy of Kain™ Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered

I've been a huge fan of this series for many years. I was tempted to wait until there was a discount available, but I decided it's worth paying full price if, even in only the smallest of ways, it helps support more effort in remastering and maybe even continuing the series. If you're on the fence, the story is AMAZING!

... it was 20 years ago. I love that the game was captured in its true form without too much new additions. Thanks for making it possible to experience this world, the outstanding story and their characters. Now, why not make a graphic update to Legacy of Kain: Defiance and bring it as an add-on to this game? I would love to see this gem of a game with a few updated tweaks here and there. Thank you to the lovely people working at Aspyr!

Sometimes being a faithful remaster is not a good thing. When you reproduce game breaking bugs to stay 'true' then I have to question, why? I genuinely love LOK, Legacy of Kain, as a story but the gameplay has ALWAYS been the weakest part of the series, and losing potentially hours of progress because you were going too fast and accidentally caused a softlock can be beyond frustrating. I think there's a lot of room for improvement for stability and bug fixing.

This remaster takes the original soul reaver games and injects incredibly lovely looking graphics with the ability to switch them to the original and back on the fly. It also works great "out of the box" or so to speak, where the originals required patches to function properly on modern hardware, these remakes work right as is. If you're looking to get into the Legacy of Kain universe, these games are a great starting point and returning fans of the series won't be disappointed. I hope to see the whole series remastered or readily playable on modern hardare.

I'm so happy with this remaster, it's exactly what all remasters should be imo. updated graphics and smoothed gameplay to match the standards of the day without completely changing things!
