>I know you, Raziel. You are worthy.
What madness is this? What pitiful form is this that I have come to inhabit? Death would be a release, next to this travesty.
>You did not survive the abyss, Raziel. I have only spared you from total dissolution.
I would choose oblivion over this existence!
>The choice is not yours.
I am destroyed!
>You are reborn.


The birth of one of Kain’s abominations traps the essence of life. It is this soul that animates the corpse you ‘lived’ in. And that Raziel, is the demise of Nosgoth. There is no balance. The souls of the dead remain trapped. I can not spin them in the wheel of fate. They can not complete their destinies.

Redeem yourself. Or if you prefer, avenge yourself. Settle your dispute with Kain. Destroy Him and your brethren. Free their souls and let the wheel of fate churn again. Use your hatred to reave their souls... I can make it possible. Become my soul reaver, my angel of death...

Why do people love this game and consider it to be one of the greatest on PS1?
I tried it a couple of days and I don't get it. The combat is tedious and the environment feels so empty and dull even for a PS1 game.
How did it hook you up?
