KSD: At this point, the Legacy of Kain series is difficult for one unfamiliar with its twists to enter into. The last game, Defiance, was released in 2003; its predecessor is almost fourteen years old; Soul Reaver, the ambitious seed that sprouted into an almost impenetrable forest, was released for the original PlayStation; its predecessor Blood Omen is orphaned abandonware. Accompanying this generational regression is the sheer inconvenience of leaving behind the latest advances in graphics and sound to return to their more primitive counterparts: the farther we go back, the more rudimentary the graphics and the flatter the sound until we come to Soul Reaver and its monologues in monophonic or Blood Omen’s top-down 32-bit palette. The irony of being forced, like the series’ character Raziel, to delve into a decrepit past to discover a worthwhile narrative should not go unnoticed.
Experience the revamped Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver in these remastered editions, as we delve into the story and review the ups and downs.
MonsterVine: "Explore the fascinating history and legacy of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, from its dark lore to secrets discovered decades after release."
Amazing game and was kinda unique in its time. Only down side was the atrocious load times.

So unfortunate. I'd subscribe to premium in a heartbeat if I could play Resistance: FoM for real on there. But game streaming is and always will be trash.
I wish the Portal would do PS+ Streaming. I really want to play these handheld on it. :\
I wish they would release them properly. But have been playing Ratchet and Clank games om streaming and it works pretty well these days, where I live atleast, so will probably give them a shot regardless.
Until they remaster PS3 games properly for play on the 4/5... I keep my 3 hooked up for just these situations.
