Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
150 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is good, but when the majority of gameplay is miserable it does not make the game worth playing.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sure, people who played Legacy of Kain games since the very first game, would probably miss Zelda-like open world and non-linear exploration, but, unlike what we've got in Soul Reaver 2 and Blood Omen 2, the new gameplay formula here is a pretty nice substitute.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is fluid and fast-paced, drawing inspiration from the stylish melee systems of games like Devil May Cry, with chained attacks, combos, and elemental powers that feel satisfying to unleash.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting, featuring performances from Simon Templeman as Kain and Michael Bell as Raziel, is nothing short of exceptional.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
