there are 5 games in this series, and it is one of the most confusing series' ever to be created. But I'm good at following that. Word of advice: don't play it if you expect your stories to have a conclusion.
Basically, the first game(Blood Omen 2) is about this noble named Kain, who gets jumped and killed. In hell, he makes a bargain with someone to come back to life as a vampire in order to get revenge on the people who got him killed
the SECOND game(Soul Reaver) is about a man named Raziel, who is a vampire created by Kain. He evolves and surpasses Kain, so he is thrown into a neverending vortex that he emerges from completely changed, devouring souls instead of
blood. He then proceeds to go out for revenge.
NEXT is Blood Omen 2. this takes place BEFORE soul reaver. You once again play as Kain, who awakens from a long slumber and joins in on a war between vampires and an organization of vampire/demon slayers called the Serafin. basically, he rips 'em all to shreds in his quest to control the world.
the next game is soul reaver 2, where you take control as raziel once again. This time, he ends up chasing Kain through time, increasing his strengths along the way. Sadly, that's about it as far as plot goes for this one.
the final game made is LEGACY OF KAIN: DEFIANCE
By far the best one. You play through the storyline, alternating between Kain and Raziel, building up to the series epic finale. The game ends on a major cliffhanger,and the person who was writing the plot for the games left. So the series remains unended.
These are some of my all time favorite games, although the last 4 games have completely different gameplay than the first blood omen. that game was basically zelda with a much, MUCH darker theme.
so yeah. That's basically it if you wanna check it out. I recommend it, but that may be because I don't want to be the only one here hating them for never ending the series.
