Amazing masterpiece! Brings back so many memories. It's been over 10 years since I've played Soul Reaver. I must say that the remaster looks fantastic! Well done, devs! I think you have done a pretty good job for both old and new fans alike.

PROS:
- Graphics, cutscenes and character design improved greatly;
- Enthralling music that fits perfectly well with the environment and situation;
- Legendary voice-actors that deliver amazing dialogues;
- Smooth movement and feel;
- Smooth interface;
- Easy to learn mechanics;
- Over 50 achievements with some hidden ones;
- Map looks great;
- Trading Cards and Steam Points!!! (Thank you, devs!)

NEUTER:
- New fans blame clunky controller, but no. That's Raziel for you. Whenever he does some extra unnecessary thing, we would yell out his name as if we're scolding our spouse or kid.

CONS:
- Nothing at the moment.
- Well, other than those demons from Soul Reaver 2. But that's my everlasting complaint on Daniel Cabuco's idea of inserting those annoying demons into the show. Forgive me, Daniel.

In conclusion, I recommend this game to anyone who loves philosophical concepts (such as destiny, revenge, free will, time shift, paradox, etc.), Elizabethan drama, vampires, falling empires, dark worlds, steampunk, anti-heroes, and the list can continue. Try it and let me know what you think.
