A masterpiece. The combat was not great even at the time, but it takes a back seat thanks to the incredible soundtrack, an amazing script and unmatched voice acting. It was subject to many cuts before release, and I really wish I could have experienced its complete version

El juego de mi infancia. Con este juego descubrí que los videojuegos eran más que plataformas, saltos y golpes, que en ellos también se daban historias de venganza, redención, búsqueda a lo incomprensible, etc.
El juego que cambió mi manera de ver este hobby.

I tried, i love the lore and story of this game, the characters, how the bosses looks, the music is amazing, love what they try to do with the gameplay and combat BUT this game is borderline unplayable. The framerate, controls and camera are atrocious. The camera & controls prevent me from have any fun with this game. **** exist that NEEDS a remake is this.

Sobresaliente por sus gráficos en la época, pero actualmente estándar, respetable más no obligatorio.

Game unlike nothing on PS1. I've played it as an adult and had an amazing experience. Collapsing gothic architecture mixed with Giger style creatures is a great combo. Would've love to see a modern remake of this classic.

Good god this game changed my thinking of what an original game should be, seeing the world change omg I was looking for everything such an awesome piece of history and **** nobody's bothered to revisit this game and bring it upto date for 2023 also I noticed there is no Sega Dreamcast version I would have rated that aswell but it's not registered on here because there is a Dreamcast version aswell I played it on emulators and looks heaps better than ps1 version

The opening scene with the betrayal + the ending scene with the philosophy on fate = 10/10

Timeless The game holds up really well even today, the presentation is flawless with an amazing art direction and a sublime voice acting that delivers some of the most memorable character writing in history, the gameplay loop is satisfying, the combat system is simple but thoughtful, the puzzles are enganging and creative and the OST is nothing short of spectacular. The only minor issues are the unskippable cutscenes and overall poor replay value but it's still a must-play for anyone. You won't be disappointed.

Imo Soul reaver is the best Ps1 and even the best Dreamcast game ever you really need to look at it from the perspective of the time it was released ,3D gaming was at its infancy ,it has a phenomenal writing with top tier dialogues ,worldbuilding ,raziel and kain being some of the best written characters in gaming history and phenomenal story that is complimented with some of the best voice acting the industry has to offer ,the game has a very well designed world that you need to explore and Similar to metroidvania you need to memorize some of the areas and do some backtracking to unlock certain areas that you can go to after you unlock a new ability , some great and well designed puzzles ,the combat may not put DMC out of business but again like I said earlier 3D was at its infancy but the combat is still great ,you can interact with the areas by either grabbing a weapon or throwing enemies at fire or spikey walls and water ,soul reaver also has dimension travel which at the time was simply mind blowing ,it was used to get past certain locations or find secret areas and the atmosphere is simply jaw dropping some of the best in any game. Soul reaver is simply a generation defining masterpiece a beautiful diamond that will only look better the more you look at it.

Ambientação bacana, até que acho bonito para época, divertido e simples. Ainda assim em 2020, para quem curte uns clássicos, vale á pena. Tenho me divertido bastante jogando em meu Vita.

Played again at the end of 2019 after a long time having not played this. Played this on release when i thought it was a masterpiece and one of the greatest games ever made. it is still a masterpiece and one of the greatest (if not the greatest) games ever made.

Grandioso juego con gran ambientación, gran historia, y un gameplay y combate que han envejecido mejor de lo que me esperaba. El juego tmb cuenta con ciertos puzzles que le dan bastante variedad, y en definitiva es un clásico de la primera PlayStation. Tal vez le faltó mas duración, localizaciones y bosses. 9/10

Un juego con una gran historia, jugabilidad muy divertida y algunos puzles que acompañan muy bien. Un personaje carismatico, con graficos impresionantes para la epoca. Muy recomendable

Still great after all this years. The story is great, the writing is amazing, the music is fantastic and ominous, the bosses are terrifying and cool to fight, the abilities you can get are funny to use and diverse, and you will want to explore everything. It's just a classic game, one of the best.

This is my favorite game of all time. The story was amazing, no other game back then had a deep story other than metal gear solid. The graphics are amazing, the best on the Playstation fully detailed models and textures. This has the best voice acting ever, The characters never sound bored and the vocabulary is amazing. And the music fits the area you are in and has the best main theme I have ever heard. So the gameplay, I love adventure games which this does. I also love action and puzzle which this also has. It is so much fun to explorer the secrets of Nosgoth and kill your brothers in their dungeons. And If you like something new with good story and adventure, go buy it. It is the most underrated game and franchise in the world in my Opinion. And does it hold up Today. I played this in 2014. Fifteen years when it came out and I say yes it holds up.

Game of my childhood. Interesting puzzles, nice gameplay and awesome voice characters. One of the few games where you need to think. True hardcore, true oldschool.

I played this game about 10 years ago. I remember it was fantastic, and now I bought it on steam sale. So much memories :) a must have! Even bought a ps2 just to play it on a console, as I don't really like the master race ^^

The best game ever. Scenario like nothing before, plot, game play, combat, all combined to a perfect action - puzzle game. Old game, but this is how games should be done.

Outstanding game! -Very good, deep and interesting story with amazing plot twists that will make you go : What!? This really happened!? OMG I didn't expect this, so cool! -Very clever puzzles (repetitive at times, but you won't notice). -Amazing world! Nosgoth will grab you by the pair and won't let go. Nice textures for it's time and totally memorable places with great atmosphere. -Godlike character designs which are so memorable! -The concept is so creative that it's mind blowing, going in and out of the physical and spectral realm doing stuff you can't do in the other realm but you can do in the other one. -Very good voice acting -Very comfortable and nice platforming. This game does not hold you by the hand, you will have to use your brain quite often. I totally recommend this game to anyone who knows what a good game is. 10/10

Amazing game for it's time. Great environments and plays well even today. Raziel is one of the coolest characters of that era. Only downside is the unsatisfying ending.

Fantastic game. A must own for ps1/ps2/ps3/psp/ps vita owners who love action adventure games. Epic combat, smooth controls and exploration make this game a blast. Sometimes its a bit too non-linear and gothic for my tastes, but the game was just a blast to play. My only problem is the soul reaver weapon. It takes away all the fun of using the environment to your advantage and destroying vampires with fire, sunlight, water or weapons. The soul reaver also looks incredibly ugly around raziels arm.

As with many PSone titles it struggles to hold up today but even at the time I found this a difficult game to get into. It had it moments but I seemed to spend most of the time unable to work out where to go.

This is the best game for long, winter evenings. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for intense gameplay, stunning in-game world and nice storyline.

great game, could've been even more if the dudes had enough money. But that's alot to ask for in those times. Even now makes a mockery out of Darksiders

Amazing game, Hands down the only series I will happily say I am now a fanboy of. The story is deep and will keep you playing though the (lets face it) tedious combat (but then again you are armed with the SOUL REAVER!), The platforming is just purely amazing and the ability to switch between realms just adds to the story and the gameplay. Puzzles are challenging but rewarding. overall one of the best games of the year....... But could of shined even more. I want to see a HD remake.

Stunning scenarios, epic soundtrack, the best voice acting possible(Tony Jay), addicting game play, anti heroes, gothic theme... the perfect recipe. just...play it!
