- Soul Reaver 2 picks up where Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver left off, with Raziel having just plunged through the Chronoplast time portal in his relentless pursuit of Kain. Over the course of his quest for revenge, Raziel must unearth the mysteries of Nosgoth’s ancient races, expose the machinations behind the corruption of the Pillars, and the.
Possibly the most surprising aspect of Soul Reaver 2 is the storyline. While the dialogue is absurdly overblown at times, on the whole it’s a compelling, intricate and well-paced yarn that actually keeps you guessing. Each of the major characters with whom you interact appears to help and deceive you by turns, and there’s a refreshing lack of moral transparency at work. It’s commendable to see such robust storytelling in a game that’s essentially console-oriented.
The puzzles themselves are also extremely well constructed, if occasionally a little on the easy side, but there are more than enough variables to keep things interesting throughout. For a start there’s the plane-shifting -Raziel's capacity to move between the material and spectral realms at will. This device functions on several levels, and is just one indication of the expertise evident in the game’s design. Most significantly it’s a puzzle-solving tool, each major puzzle area requiring you to shift planes in order to take advantage of different abilities and environmental features available in each realm. But it also functions as a punishment for 'dying’ in the material plane, as life in the spectral plane is generally crippling to progress in and far less fun, as you can’t interact with objects or use physical weapons. Thirdly, of course, it’s a hugely aesthetically pleasing feature of the game, as shifting planes sees the environment morph fantastically around you in real time.

I'M Reaving Today
There’s also the eponymous reaver itself, a symbiotic weapon immutably linked to Raziel. The reaver can be imbued with a variety of powers (light, darkness, fire and air), adding another level of depth to the puzzle mechanics, as well as being Raziel’s most potent weapon. Refreshingly, the frequent combat in Soul Reaver 2 is rewarding in its own right, with a satisfying dodge-and-counter dynamic that makes battles consistently enjoyable.
There are countless other praiseworthy features that I could mention given the space, but instead I'll simply assure you that, generic in nature though it may be, this is still one of the most consistently entertaining and elegantly constructed games I have played in a long time. Indeed, it's among one of the finest action/adventures available on the PC.
