Tastefully remade modern graphics that match the color pallet and intent of the originals
Both titles have some of the greatest voice acting and dialogue ever in any video game
Thumping and gritty gothic-tribal music with a bleak primeaval feel
Open-ended 3D puzzle-platformer with metroidvania elements that immerse the player with a surreal two-world mechanic
Improved 360 degree camera controls, tons of extras, and 60 fps

Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 are, in many ways, modern titles even today.

The remaster brings impressive visual upgrades, and the voice acting continues to be one of the standout features, truly enhancing the immersive experience.
The story remains captivating, with deep lore and a well-crafted world that pulls players into Raziel's vengeful journey.

Dripping in timeless early 2000s moody edge
Combat and eating souls remains cool and satisfying
Dual world exploration with the spirit world jumping was ahead of its time
