There´s no death in Soul Reaver, after all, Raziel is already dead. Ah, I almost forgot to tell, in Soul Reaver you have to absorb souls to replenish your energy, so after you kill an enemy, keep pressing CIRCLE to make Raziel absorb enemy’s souls. You move your character using your D-PAD, jump with X, attack and active stuff with SQUARE, feed with CIRCLE and grab/throw/impale things with TRIANGLE. To crouch use L1 and to lock an enemy target use R1, you can also rotate your camera with L2 and R2. Soul Reaver´s gameplay is pretty simple for an adventure, but this is not a complain, after all, that make things a lot easier to handle. You can also check this game amazing introduction here:

The elder god tells Raziel that the world is falling apart because of Kain´s madness and give him the mission to kill Kain in order to reestablish the world balance and fulfill Raziel´s vengeance.ĭamn, this game´s plot is awesome! Holly crap, generally I don´t care much about plots, but holly crap this game has an awesome story with awesome characters! However, Raziel reborn as a deformed wraith. After many centuries Raziel is resurrected by an elder god. In an act of jealousy, Kain tear Raziel wings apart and thrown him into the lake of the dead. You pick up the role of Raziel, the general of Kain´s vampiric army, who surpass his master Kain turning into a more evolved vampire with big wings. The plot take place 1500 years after Blood Omen in an era where vampires rule the earth leaded by they great leader Kain. This game is the sequel of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, but instead of being a top down RPG as Blood Omen, Soul Reaver is a 3D action adventure. (However the screenshots are from the PC version, they´re pretty much the same thing excepted for the fact that the Playstation version has a lower resolution and some pop in objects.) The version that I´m gonna review is the Playstation version because that´s the version that I have played back them. Soul Reaver was released in 1999 for Playstation and PC and later in 2000 was ported to Sega Dreamcast. Today, I´m gonna talk about Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, one of my favorite Playstation games! Hi everyone, this week we have a very special game! This game, at least in my opinion, was one of the best ones between the 3D adventures from 32/64 bit era.
