The best of the saga

I edited this review 'cause I found the way to elude both the freezing and the bugs issues. For the bugs: search with google d3d8.dll, download the file and attach it in the game folder For freezing: opening with windows 95 compatibility or setting mono-core in the Windows Task Manager during gameplay So, now I can freely say that this is the best of the four games (still, blood omen 2 doesn't exist... don't try to convince me of the contrary), regarding the focus on the story. The saga finds his most profound sense in the eternal, circular struggle of a son searching for vengeance against his father, and finding instead the truth behind his view and each of his actions. Unlike the other games of the saga, here we don't have secret locations, or optional powerups and collectibles. Everything is set for the story. You can also flee from most of the combats... but in the final rush I find myself WANTING to combat even if was unnecessary: emotions and symbolic meanings that accompany you throughout the game are enough to enjoy it, and all the usual action gaming elements (including bosses) are knowingly sacrificed to not disturb the deep immersion that this story is capable to give. Definitely one of the best games of all times for who loves epic and deep stories.

Bland without nostalgia goggles

I just played through this game and found it to be awfully bland. The game's combat is remarkably simplistic in a very bad way. Enemies have a further reach than you and can even pull off moves faster than you. This results in a lot of frustrating fights, especially against enemies with spears etc. I also found that I could be stun locked into place, which isn't cool. There are no save points or any warp gates to help you get from point A to B etc. This means there's alot of running around and back tracking etc. It makes the game extremely tedious. The positives are the story and the music. Both are very well done and really go well with the mood the game is trying to provide. In fact, if it wasn't for the story, I would have turned the game off long ago. Unfortunately, GOG's release of this is very broken. Much like the previous game in the series. You have to limit the framerate with some app just to get the ability to walk working. It's a bit sad really. If my experience is anything to go by, this game series should have never been released on GOG and instead, should have been fixed up properly. Fans of the game from its day will obviously love this. But folks without those nostalgia goggles may find a lot more to dislike than you'd think.

This truly is the worst timeline

Awful camera, boring combat, horrible lighting design (half of the time areas are so dark you have to crank the gamma to the point of breaking lit areas), constant backtracking (remember backtracking in Soul Reaver 1 being optional for the purposes of powers and stat boosting? No more, now it's built into the main flow of the game but without any of the rewards!), tedium of shifting is magnified to stupid degrees by always needing to gather souls each & every shift due to HP depletion, story is having the same discussion over fate & destiny every conversation 300 times over, no clear goals or ways to navigate, gimmick soul reaver blades that add nothing but a complete misunderstanding of the metroidvania design the first game achieved. All by all one of the worst sequels I've ever played.

Good sequel

The music is not as good as in SR1, but everything else is top notch. If you have ze spectral realm shif bug and run in one place and the surroundings don't change etc. turn off V sync in game and enable it through Nvidia control panel. For random crash or freeze, set the affinity to CPU 0. Atleast thats what worked for me (win7), hope it helps.
