What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The world is surprisingly open so long as you have the necessary abilities to reach story related/side areas. 0 loading screens which seems crazy to me.
I mostly played with classic graphics, switching to new to see the new models and textures but promptly switched back.
The voice acting in this game remains some of the absolute best in the business with the talent of Michael Bell, Simon Templeman, and Tony Jay among many others, all of whom give outstanding performances which elevate the stellar writing by Amy Hennig.
I would also recommend playing this with a controller.
+ great on Steam Deck
There are lots of extra stuff like art, videos, old demos and some deleted areas that didn't come in the final version of Soul Reaver (playable as a small demo from the game's menu), but honestly nothing worthwhile.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
