Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered collects two great games that look and play better than ever, but they're deserving of more.

Legacy of Kain is one of the most popular franchises in which players step into the coffins of vampires. The series made its debut in 1996 with Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, though the later Soul Reaver entries have been considered the pinnacle of the series.

Soul Reaver follows the events of the Blood Omen games, set in the same Legacy of Kain universe. In the Blood Omen games, players govern the actions of one of gaming's most powerful vampires, Kain. The Soul Reaver games focus on Raziel’s journey of revenge against Kain.
