A brooding, gothic action-adventure where you slice through haunting environments with deliberate, weighted combat and cryptic puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the remaster for fixing the original's bad camera and adding quality-of-life features like a map and skins. Split on the core game: some find combat fun, others call it mediocre, and puzzles get called weak compared to Soul Reaver.
