Soul Reaver is a classic and a game you definitely should seek to play if you are interested, but not this version.

I cannot recommend the Steam version for one simple reason: the port is broken and does not have any official support. It crashes right at the start on the most recent versions of Windows, and will only run by installing unnoficial patches which still won't make the game completely stable. Even if you manage to run it, the built-in gamepad support does not work properly, forcing you to install third party softwares to be able to use it.

Unfortunately this port is a mess, and in my humble opinion no one should put money on a port that had zero attention from the publisher.

Make sure you are running the game in 32 bit.
Scroll up in the resolution options and you'll find the 32 bit versions.

Found way to fix this issue. I had exactly same problem. Try run compatibility mode: Windows XP (Service Pack 3). You can find that in in .exe properties.

Most recent version of windows here, game runs fine unofficial patches are not needed to run the game.
