There hasn’t been a new Legacy of Kain game in two decades, but 2024 was a great year for the series. Not only are we getting a brand-new remastered collection of the first two Soul Reaver games, but Evercade also released their own compilation that included both Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. That’s cool news, but are any of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer & Video Games, Next Generation and more classic magazines to see what the critics said about the entire franchise back when the games first came out. Get ready to push some crates, because this is a blood-sucking episode of Legacy of Kain Review Crew!
