The discounts apply to the physical PS5 and Switch editions.
$20 (was $30)
The Standard Edition of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered includes enhanced versions of Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2.

The remasters include a toggle to swap between the original or updated visuals on the fly, plus a few tweaks to the gameplay. However, the core gameplay, story, and voice acting remain untouched. Along with the games, the collection also includes archival behind-the-scenes content and other bonus materials.
