I'd always enjoyed the LoK series, but had never actually beaten any of them growing up. I decided to change that and played through the Blood Omen games, and now Soul Reaver. The game holds up decently well as far as presentation and level design with lots to unlock and explore. But the shining beacon is the voice acting and the writing for the characters. Besides Metal Gear Solid, this was one of the first games I played as a kid that felt like something made for adults with the professional sounding cast. The game does leave you on a cliff hanger that goes directly into Soul Reaver 2.

I found this game amusing at first, but after a while just got kind of bored with it. The comedy is pretty great at points, but as it is Justin Roiland, it will eventually devolve into a ridiculous mess of concepts that go unresolved. This can be interesting to just let dialogue play out between enemies or NPCs, but then it just starts to really wear on you. There was an unskippable dialogue that I found myself just surfing the Internet instead of paying attention. That kinda sucks when a game does that to you, and that's the main feeling I'm left with after finishing.
