Roundup: Here’s What The Critics Think About Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered
“Soul Reaver and its sequel are both perfect storms of story, voice work, soundtracks, and now they have the final pieces they needed to become classics for a new generation with revamped controls and now gorgeous graphics. While I’d like to see the execution be a touch cleaner, the sum of its parts is so damned strong that it lets you experience this incredible game all over again. I know you, Raziel. You are worthy.”
“Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered is an impeccable remaster collection. While it has a few flaws, the narrative, world-building, soundtrack, and voice acting make the games a gratifying experience.”
“Still, it’s proven that Aspyr has dedicated Soul Reaver fans on its development team, who were perhaps limited by the games’ engines and codebase in their scope on what can be done in a modern port. If you’re looking for a retro 3D platformer in a similar vein to Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, this is undoubtedly your next stop, but I can’t help feeling that Raziel deserved more.”
There aren’t too many reviews out there for this one just yet, so as a result, we’re not seeing any Metacritic / OpenCritic average ratings at the time of writing. Going off the early reviews though, things are looking pretty positive for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered – which heads to Xbox tomorrow, December 10th.
