For those unfamiliar, Soul Reaver isn’t just another game—it’s a masterpiece. The series debuted in the late ’90s, with Raziel, a once-loyal vampire turned spectral avenger, as the protagonist. Players explored eerie, atmospheric realms filled with puzzles, combat, and one of the most compelling revenge stories in gaming history.
What set it apart was the innovative gameplay, including the ability to shift between the physical and spectral worlds. It was groundbreaking for its time and left players spellbound with its depth and dark allure.
