I remember playing it on a PS1 demo disc back in the 90s and later found out it's basically the precursor to the Soul Reaver games.
The combat system is pretty identical and the story themes too. It has a very 90s nostalgic feel to it in terms of game design.
I also had Akuji the Heartless growing up. I never finished it but always remembered the game to a degree. This also had a demo of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1. Which I currently own the original PC version on GOG. I didn't know until years later. This was strikingly similar to another game called Shadow Man. Two versions of that game also on GOG as well. You play as a dead man that's going through the supernatural on his journey. I always remembered the look of Akuji. This was a strangely interesting game for it's time. Surprisingly there's people still talking about this game. It's one of those games people missed out on. Then years later, they hear about it a lot. This was a game Crystal Dynamics made that's simply ahead of it's time. By now there exists plenty games with similar concepts to this. Now that's exactly why Akuji the Heartless should be on GOG.

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

Chivalry: Medieval WarfareChivalry: Medieval Warfare is a fast-paced online multiplayer action game which will have players turning in their guns and grenades for battle axes and swords. Chivalry: Medieval Warfare combines a sharp melee edge and familiar competitive gameplay along with the genuine look and feel of open-field combat in the Middle Ages.
Players can choose between one of four classes – Knight, Vanguard, Man-at-Arms and Archer – each balanced to offer a unique set of strengths and vulnerabilities in any given situation. An extensive armoury of more than sixty period-authentic weapons, including swords, shields, daggers, maces, axes, javelins, longbows and crossbows, delivers deadly choices for decimating foes.
Melee combat in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is more than just hack and slash. Players will use different attacks, blocks and counters insuring that combat is tactical, responsive and of course chaotic. Prepare to fight in a variety of inspired medieval environments and scenarios. Raid peasant villages, burn crops, siege castles, defend the royal family, or fight to the last man in a gladiatorial arena. Multiple modes provide opportunities to fight as a team for the greater glory of the realm, or for personal honour in duels to the death.Action Historical Warfare
