Legacy of Kain: Defiance (2003) divides players sharply: some consider it a peak entry in the series with exceptional atmosphere, lore, story, and voice acting that remain iconic, while others find the original version plagued by technical issues including a notoriously poor camera system that makes it nearly unplayable. Those who embrace the narrative and world design regard it as well worth experiencing, though some note that a remastered version addresses many of the original's technical problems.

Good luck fighting enemies when you cannot see them, or cannot see yourself, or neither yourself nor them. Sometimes you must do complex platforming but you cannot see where to jump. Sometimes you have to perform platforming and the camera changes its position mid-jump which makes it much harder t…

This was the first game of the series I played as a kid. Bought it with my own pocket money. Still own the CDs. I grew to love the atmosphere and the lore. One of my all-time favorites, excellent cast, excellent story, dialogue and performances are iconic.

Esta saga de juegos es de las mejores que he jugado en mi vida. Vale completamente la pena jugar desde "Soul Reaver 1" hasta "Legacy of Kain: Defiance", lo que seria "Soul Reaver 3".
