This is kind of strange case - this is a game I saw on store shelf when my parents were buying me a PC desk and some child-age game when I was five - and Soul Reaver was a game I wanted to get instead. I knew about series cause my father often played demo of first Legacy of Kain: Blod Omen, but I never got to play this exact game. Now, when it is delisted everywhere, as I am finally playing thru whole series (thanks to GOG for having Blood Omen) I wish I would be able to experience this game for first time.

This game was my entry to the series and love at first sight. The unforgettable intro, the dark settings, the music, and especially the voice acting and dialogues... Yeah, I was completely in love. I played it on PlayStation when it came out, and I remember that summer vividly, and a couple of years later on PC thanks to a magazine which included it for very little. I still have both my PS1 and PC copies from back then, along with the GOG version which is alas currently no longer for sale. Although I'm glad there is a remaster to buy I still think that the original is worth both selling on GOG and buying, and I hope it'll be back (in the library there is still a "soon" tag. I hope it means something) for everyone to enjoy and keep. Besides, it's the only title missing from the series now that Blood Omen is available (great, great job GOG), so again I hope it'll come back to its rightful place among the Good Old Games.

This game take a soft spot in my heart and so good memory of playing with mi little near me. A good sequel of Legacy of Kain that make you in love with all the rich lore.
What can I say, this game is a certified classic and the only way to play it legitimately is to either buy the stinky remaster that turns everything into AI re-textured butter or buy a Playstation 1 and hunt down the original game on PSX.

We really need the original SR1 back on GOG! This game is the backbone of the whole series and the jewel of the PS1 era gaming. Unforgettable narrative, writing and voice-line delivery. While it is good to have SR1 remastered, the legacy edition is still something I'm longing for. True nostalgia bomb.

I understand that we have the remastered version of Soul Reaver 1+2, but delisting it is an absolute crime! Like why? If that is bothering Aspyr and Saber Russia so much, they could've just provided the original game for FREE! Just get this game back, Aspyr and put it for FREE. No need for a removal!
