Sure, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is getting a sequel, but even so, its tone and aesthetics are distinctly disconnected from the source material. There are still “dark” games, but the nineties to mid-noughties tendency to opt for deep, grim, Gothic-inspired aesthetics and stories has pretty much died. LEGACY OF KAIN: SOUL REAVER 2, by Ben NewmanĪt risk of sounding cliché, developers just don’t make games like Soul Reaver 2 anymore. This week is another unexpected treasure from the turn of the twenty-first century, and a genre that had practically died of asphyxiation until earlier this year.
