WTMG’s Leo Faria: “As obvious as it may sound, Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is the kind of re-release that will feel like a godsend to fans of the franchise (again, if they decide to ignore the mess caused by Ascendance), but one that won’t be a mandatory playthrough for those who aren’t well-versed in the franchise’s sizeable lore. It’s a competent, safe remaster, one that doesn’t impress, but rarely annoys. Make sure to play all other games preceding it before committing to a purchase; as the conclusion to a series that lives and dies by its story, it’s still an impressive tale to witness, but make sure to do your homework before jumping into it.”
