Back in the day, I made several attempts to play through the Legacy of Kain series. The first one (Blood Omen) was fine, but I could never even finish the first Soul Reaver. To this day I'm still feeling an addictive craving to play them. I fucking hate the combat and the platforming - the only thing that draws me to this five-game series is finding out the full story of Kain and Raziel. The sole reason for the cult status of this series is the story, and this story was (by and large) put together by Amy Hennig, formerly of Naughty Dog, where she continued to make highly successful games that were more movie than games.

Not gonna watch YouTube summary videos, cause I don't trust any of the content-making failures to provide me with the full 100% of the lore coverage. Like, the first time I played it for a while, and then found out that if you spare enough human enemies, they will eventually stop fighting you and bow to the ground before you. I don't know how many YouTube Zeros have the knowhow to figure this out.
