Third-person action-adventure where you chase Kain through time portals to uncover why Nosgoth's mystical Pillars collapsed and its vampire race was nearly wiped out. You're Raziel, a resurrected wraith with a soul-devouring blade fused to your arm, hopping between three time periods to piece together a conspiracy involving ancient races and a manipulative sorcerer. Combat leans on environmental kills and shifting between the material world and a ghostly spectral realm—walls that block you physically might have gaps in spirit form, letting you flank enemies or reach new areas. You'll unlock dozens of abilities, weapon upgrades, and spells as you solve environmental puzzles and fight through Nosgoth's decaying landscapes. The story assumes you know the setup from the first Soul Reaver, but it explains the time-travel mechanics and Raziel's unique ability to change history through paradoxes.
