How long does it take to beat Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered? How many hours are spread over the two games included in the remaster? You won’t be expecting a 100+ hour bloated adventure like many modern-day games, but the experience offers more than you may expect, especially for those wanting to get every trophy/achievement in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered.
How Long Does it Take to Beat Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered?

The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered gloriously brings the trials and tribulations of Raziel back to life, some twenty-plus years after we last entered the world. It may not be a fully fledged sequel that we want, but it does have bonus content, and if nothing else, returning back to the world of Nosgoth with a fresh coat of paint is enough for now, but how long does it take to beat Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered?
The remaster includes both Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2, and below is everything broken down for you to fully know what you’re getting yourself into before booting it up.
Soul Reaver | Soul Reaver 2 | |
---|---|---|
Main Story | 9 Hours | 7 Hours |
Main + Extras | 13 Hours | 10 Hours |
Platinum Trophy/All Achievements | 16 Hours | 14 Hours |
For context, ‘Main + Extras’ refers to not only completing the story, but also collecting all portals/glyphs, and other optional quests/collectibles.
These are average numbers, as everyone plays differently. From the speed at which you’ll complete the puzzles, to figuring out how to beat that last boss, we’ve estimated an average that you won’t be far away from.
During my review of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered, I mentioned the repetitive combat, and whilst this may be a disappointment to modern standards, the simplicity absolutely will speed you up in your playthroughs.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered released on 10th December 2024, and is available on PS4/PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Microsoft Windows.
