The character is often considered "The Sith Lord"s greatest or most important character. Julie Muncy of "The A.V. Club" said she was the greatest part of the game and called her the game's most "captivating" character, which he credited to her "cold charisma". Muncy found herself genuinely changing his character based on her opinions, overly caring about how Kreia viewed his character. Similarly, "PC Gamer" credited Kreia with "The Sith Lords"s success, calling her "clearly haunted, bitter, manipulative, and yet "right" in so many ways". By looking at the "Star Wars" world through the view of her philosophy, they felt Obsidian made "the most thoughtful take on "Star Wars" we'll ever get". Robert Purchese, writing for "Eurogamer", called her "the strongest and most memorable character" in the game, praising her writing and how she embodied "The Sith Lords"s gray areas. Allen Rausch of GameSpy described her as the game's most compelling character, commending Kreia for her challenges to his choices and noting how one example, concerning the importance of lightsabers, changed his view of the game.
