Am probably gonna get a lot of hate for saying this but…
I remember playing Blood Omen and loving it. It was one of the first games I ever finished. I jumped at Soul Reaver when it came out but when I started playing it really took me a while to get into it. The switch up between the play style was part of the issue but I think the other was the ‘two choice’ option at the end of the game in the first. Doom the world or save it.
Obviously Soul Reaver picks up from the stand point that Kain turned evil but it seemed like such a weird twist of a game play.
Anyway, good article. I had wondered what had happened with this series.
I legit found a copy of blood omen legacy of Kain at a bus stop when I was a kid. I never heard of it but I took it home and popped it into my ps1 and remember having a lot of fun with it. Like you I remember getting hyped to play soul reaver but it just didn’t hit the same.
P.s. when I found the game at the bus stop, it was sitting there along with a copy of Chrono trigger for ps1. Whoever forget it there must have been devastated. I took it cause it’s a big city and figured it was me or the next kid.
