Shift Between Realms
The Elder God has granted you the ability to shift between the Spectral and Material Realms. Traverse the realms to solve puzzles, reveal new paths, and defeat your foes.
The level of care to preserve the games, as they were, with updated models and textures, and bonus material galore, is to be commended. It's great to have these polished up and ready for the current day and age.
The most important thing you need to know is THERE IS NO AUTOSAVE! Make sure you save your game. Remember, this was a PS1 game.
For fans of SR:
This has taken the crown as the best way to play SR. Previously held by the Dreamcast version with the HD texture pack. You can even swap between the new and old graphics. The backgrounds are just HD textures, but the models have been redone from the ground up and look great.
For people new to SR:
Keep in mind this is a remaster, not a remake. All the bad has been retained along with the good. You might want to keep a walkthrough nearby since it's easy to miss things and end up wandering around.
TLDR:
Soul Reaver has an amazing story with some of the best writing and voice acting in any video game. Wait for a sale if you must, but don't skip this one.
The reason I gave this game a 4 , its not because i don't like it, all the contrary, I love the LOK Series. Overhaul I love the series and Keep them coming! I like to see things like this happen!
The game has great visuals, and quite similar controls to the original, nothing bad with a little clunk. I gave it a 4, because i feel like this studio could have incorporated better graphics while still retaining the original aspect, it threw me off at first and im getting used to it, but there are certain enviromental lighting that could have been adressed.
One example is the torch lighting, like i know what they were trying to do, but the torch effects looked somwhat dated, and looked like water reflections rather than torch lighting. looks goofy, but i know the intention, touch of the old, touch of the new.
Also the water rendering could have been improved along with some of the lighting, add maybe reflections in the water make it more fluid and light in the enviroment. I love that they took out that awful motion blur inside the water and brightened it up a little in SR2, Making it less tideous to navigate the water at the beginning and coming back.
