I had a good time with this ugly little wise-cracking thief. The map can get confusing and combat is purposefully awful, but hey it encourages you to sneak around.


Styx is a great example of how to make a strong mid-ranger on a limited budget. But at the same time, make a memorable character, a character you won’t forget.
Add to this an excellent plot, a kind of fantasy noir, where everyone is bastards, but the elves are even more bastards.
But be prepared that the game itself is not very diverse. There is no need to choose a passing style here: it’s easier and faster to go through without killing anyone, remaining a shadow, than to carry out a massacre or use abilities. In general, Styx is stealth from the brain to the bones, with all the ensuing features: constant sitting in ambush and general leisureliness right there. If you don't mind running meditatively from one dark place to another, then the game is worth playing. But if you are not ready to put up with graphics a la PS3 and constantly sit waiting for the patrol to pass, then this game is not for you. But know that you are missing out on the birth of a promising franchise that I hope has a bright future.

The game that Gollum wishes it could be. Styx: Master of Shadows was better than expected, since I have never heard anyone talk about the game, let alone mention it. Stealth is the main focus of this game, and it was done really well with the skill trees you learn by unlocking them with skill points that are determined based on how you finish the mission. Story-wise, it's actually pretty good and has twists that keep it interesting. If you like goblins, were disappointed in Gollum, or want something to replace it, I recommend this game.

Styx es un juego que la gente juega, no se porque, es un juego roto en todos los sentidos.

Tiene una jugabilidad super torpe, lenta, incomodo, animaciones lentísimas, el juego va de sigilo y los enemigos a veces te descubren estando completamente cubierto, se me bugueo el personaje varias veces solo en el tutorial, las cinemáticas también están super bug.

He jugado poco mas de media hora y me están escociendo los ojos, no lo recomiendo ni gratis.

An enjoyable third person stealth game. The open-ended level design with multiple routes to your objective is a treat to traverse and the enemy ai make for fun sneaking. The skill system didn't add a lot of depth and I wish they had nixed it or deepened what was already an enjoyable experience.
