Featured reviews
This game has aged badly in my humble opinion, it is still technically playable but I don't think anybody 20 or under will be able to deal with this game's clunky mechanics. It is not completely broken like the PS1 Tomb Raiders game (Which is unplayable compared to modern day games).
The biggest issue is that you get easily lost all the time. The combat is ok at first but it does not improve at all. It is extremely basic and honestly not fun. I found myself running past enemies most of the time. You can spend time doing long side-missions for upgrades and new moves but it completely pointless in my opinion. You don't need any of the upgrades because combat is really bad and you have maybe 5 different enemy types. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THE UPGRADES.
Boss fights are ok but some are very bad because of the camera. It has that PS1 camera where every time you turn the camera either turns with you or gets crazy and jumps all over the place. Platforming is terrible too.
Overall the best thing is the amazing voicing acting and music, but gameplay itself, time has not been kind to it.

- Quotes
[Raziel confronts Kain in the Chronoplast]
Kain: At last. I must say I'm disappointed in your progress. I imagined you'd be here sooner. Tell me, did it trouble you to murder your brothers?
Raziel: Did it trouble *you* when you ordered me into the abyss?
Kain: No. I had faith in you. In your ability to hate, in your self-righteous indignation.
Raziel: Lies! You cannot have foreseen all of this.
Kain: Eternity is relentless, Raziel. When I first stole into this chamber centuries ago, I did not fathom the true power of knowledge. To know the future, Raziel. To see its paths and streams tracing out into the infinite. As a man, I could never have contained such forbidden truths. But each of us is so much more than we once were. Gazing out across the plains of possibility, do you not feel with all your soul, how we have become like gods? And as such, are we not indivisible? As long as a single one of us stands, we are legion! That is why, when I must sacrifice my children to the void, I can do so with a clear heart.
Raziel: Very poetic, Kain. But in the end, you offer no more than a convenient rationalization for your crimes.
Kain: These chambers are for insight for those *patient* enough to look. In your haste to find me, perhaps you have not gazed deeply enough. Our futures are predestined. Moebius foretold mine a millennium ago. We each play out the parts fate has written for us. We are compelled ineluctably down pre-ordained paths. Free will... is an illusion.
Raziel: I have been to the Tomb of Sarafan, Kain. Your dirty secret is exposed. How could you transform a Sarafan priest into a vampire?
Kain: How could I not? One must keep his friends close, Raziel, and his enemies even closer. Can you grasp the absurd beauty of the paradox? We're the same, Sarafan and vampire, with our holy wars, our obsession with Nosgoth's domination. Who better to serve me than those whose passion transcends all notions of good and evil?
Raziel: I will not applaud your clever blasphemy. The Sarafan were saviors, defending Nosgoth from the corruption that *we* represent. My eyes are opened, Kain. I find no nobility in the un-life you rudely forced on my unwilling corpse!
Kain: You may have uncovered your past, but you know nothing of it. You think the Sarafan were noble? Altruistic?
[chuckles]
Kain: Don't be simple. Their agenda was the same as ours.
Raziel: You are lost in a maze of moral relativism, Kain. These apparitions and portents... what game are you playing now?
Kain: Destiny is a game, is it not? And now, you await my latest move.
- Alternate versionsDue to Eidos targeting USK-16 rating, the game was censored in Germany. The German version had all in-game red blood be changed to green as a result.
