Atmosphere and excellent audio quality, with the return of the original cast giving a great authenticity to the experience.
Fascinating pixel art style, with some visually very successful moments.
Interesting narrative system that expands the lore and connects different moments of the saga...

Repetitive and shallow game, especially in combat.
Incoherent artistic direction, with style changes that break immersion.
... even if the presence of Elaleth is not always convincing

Some levels work quite well.

The story features some bad changes compared to the original events.
Over time, the repetitiveness of the situations is felt.
Too little variety of enemies and uninspired bosses
Many elements do not live up to the name it carries.

Simon Templeman is still utterly delicious as Kain
It didn't brick my console
It is, in fact, a video game

It is, in fact, a video game
Amateurish pixel art mixing with amateurish HD illustrations is an eye-sore
Michael Bell is barely hanging on as Raziel
Middling and mediocre action platforming with tedious level design and an unreliable parry system is a bulk of the game
Some of the worst writing to grace the series
Utterly pointless story with an unlikeable girlboss newcomer that adds nothing to the overarching plot

Does not seem to be a complete follow-up to the series.
