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.

Played on console as a kid, had to pick it up as respect for Crystal Dynamics, this game series has one of the best stories in all of fantasy games. Genuinely it's amazing, I can get lost in lore videos for hours because it's that great.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance delivers a dark, story-driven finale to the series, letting players control both Kain and Raziel in a richly written gothic world. The narrative and voice acting are standout, weaving complex themes of fate, time, and redemption. Combat is more action-focused than previous entries, which can feel repetitive, but the atmosphere and storytelling carry the experience. ⭐ Rating: 8/10 — A powerful narrative conclusion with strong characters and haunting tone. 🩸 - Evolution Of Legacy of Kain Games - Video Gameplay - https://youtu.be/fjQeGHbNArg - Follow my curator page - https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45547027/

Great game but the recently released remaster fixes most of the issues this one had, biggest one being the camera. Get the remasters for 1 and 2 and then play this. One of the best series ever made.
