Despite having aged not so well in some aspects (inventory management is really clunky, especially when dealing with weapons/armors and no hotkeys; mid-'90s cgi cutscenes are.. well, let's say peculiar..), Blood Omen is still a solid action adventure with a zelda-like gameplay and some innovative ideas like a day-night cycle complete with moon phases which is also part of the gameplay itself (Kain is stronger at night, full moon grants added bonuses). Most importantly it's the game that sets the basis for the epic Legacy of Kain series: a dark plot and great voice acting really bring Nosgoth and its tragedies to life.
