The next game I've decided to play is Legacy of Kain: Defiance for the Xbox. LoK: D is the fifth title in the Kain saga. Going back to the original PlayStation game, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, followed up by Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver on the PlayStation and Dreamcast, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 on the PlayStation 2, and Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. My initial impressions are of three things. LoK:D offers the best graphics of the series. The production value is high, in that the considerable vocal talents of the series have all returned. Everyone is back. Kain, Raziel, Moebius, and the Elder God. And lastly, the game is steeped in history and story. It's obviously very well written from the start. In connection to events of the overall saga, and in the characterization. It will take some more play time to figure out what I make of the combat, the level design, the puzzle element, and where the story is going.
Next up will cover the combat of Legacy of Kain: Defiance.
