The game definitely has its problems but the writing, voice acting and atmosphere are second to none. The back and forth between Raziel and Kain is super entertaining and it's really fun to work through this story bit by bit. It's also the only open-world game in the Soul Reaver series so far, a bit like a 3D Metroidvania, the later games were much more linear. So I like both approaches to world design, but here I got lost from time to time or didn't know where to go. Still, it's super satisfying when you uncover a secret, which doesn't happen so often in the later games. The camera and controls can sometimes suck, but they're fine most of the time. What else can I say, a fantastic game and the prelude to one of the best game series of all time.
