Uh.. This is the first review i make of a game that let me down in some aspects... Don't get me wrong, Soul Reaver is good, overall. But it truly needs a remake.


One thing that truly amazed me is the "two worlds" mechanic. Basically, there is 2 different versions of all scenarios that you go trough the game. Until this day, i've never seen a videogame that do that so well than this one.

The story is 10/10. Fantastic, a whole universe in a PS1 cult game. But i cannot say the same for the gameplay, the combat works well but there is so many enemies (and they keep respawnning) that it doesnt make it fun to fight, it just keep being boring when they messes with u when you're trying to solve a puzzle.

And talking about puzzles, this game has a LOT. And most of them are "box pushing simulators". There is SO MANY, so MANY puzzles that it feels that this isn't a action/adventure game, 'cause the pace gets so slow that there is moments you just want to see a walktrough by a 13yo kiddo instead of trying yourself (None of them are really hard and the bosses are easy as well)

It's a shame, but it's still worthy to try!
