The remaster of Soul Reaver 1 and 2 is here, and it’s so good! I hope it does well enough so we can get remasters of the rest of the series, maybe even a new game someday!
The intro still gives me chills, especially the scene with his wings.

Yeah, that line… ‘Cast him in.’ Gives me goosebumps every time.

Tumbling, burning with white-hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain… relentless agony… time ceased to exist… only this torture… and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell.

They did an amazing job with the intro. The upscaling really brings out details we couldn’t see before.

Other than the visuals, any quality-of-life updates? I still have the original, so I’m wondering if it’s worth the price.

It depends on what you’re looking for. It’s mostly an updated version with remodeled textures, runs at 60 FPS, and has some bonus content, like playable recreations of cut content. If you’ve got the original and are fine with that, it might not be worth it, but I’m happy with the improvements.

I heard the camera is still a pain to deal with. Is that true?

It’s better than before but still not perfect. It can be jittery at times. They added new skyboxes, though, since looking up and down wasn’t really a thing in the original.
I didn’t even know this remaster was happening. Such a nice surprise!

Glad I could share the good news with you!
I’m finishing another game now, but this is next on my list. Been waiting for this and can’t wait for the Lunar 1 & 2 remaster next year too!
Still not on the Switch EU store. So frustrating!
For a second, I thought this was about Razel from SSX Tricky. Totally different vibes!
I’m wrapping up Blood Omen first, then I’m diving right into this!
One of my all-time favorite games when it first came out. I’ve already got it downloaded and ready to go after work. Can’t wait to jump back in!
Aspyr did such a great job with this. They really nailed it!
And it’s not published by Sony? Yay! Totally adding this to my wishlist.
Wait, back from what?
