About

Taking place 1500 years after the events of Blood Omen, Soul Reaver chronicles the journey of the vampire-turned-wraith Raziel, lieutenant to the vampire lord Kain. Raziel is killed by Kain, but is revived by The Elder God to become his "soul reaver" and to exact revenge. Raziel shares this title with Kain's sword, the Soul Reaver, which he acquires during the game.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Control

Like Raziel, you're an outcast with supernatural abilities exploring a shifting, hostile environment, but here, the puzzles are less about block-pushing and more about understanding the bizarre rules of the Oldest House.

85% Match

Prey

Trade Nosgoth for Talos I, and vampiric powers for alien-derived abilities. You'll still be mapping complex environments, solving intricate problems, and facing existential threats with limited resources, all while questioning your own reality.

Alan Wake 2

While less action-oriented, this game shares Soul Reaver's dark, gothic horror themes and a narrative that blurs lines between reality and nightmare, demanding players to piece together clues and strategically use light against shadow.
