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.

Second chapter. The plot is dedicated to the confrontation between the Sikh Empire and the British colonialists. Playing as the Prince of Persia, you need to stop the Templars again. But this time they tried to make the script a little more logical. The gameplay is generally the same stealth in 2D. The graphics have become a little better. It is clear that the artist began to work for bread and water, because the locations became richer and more beautiful. The music is so-so. For fans of the series. 6.5/10

Finally, Ubisoft remembered the name of the project! Assassin's Creed. A whole series of games have already been released under this name, and they were about anything, but not about the credo. Istanbul Syndrome, American War of Independence, Pirates of the Caribbean... etc. and so on.
And finally they remembered the Credo. After the Second Assassin, we finally returned to the very essence of the series: revenge, murder and maximum Stealth.
The graphic style and two-dimensionality are certainly not familiar, but this is the idea of ​​the new series.
I recommend. Play this game - you won't regret it!

To understand how well-developed the game is, just look at the list of achievements. Completing the game without using runes, without killing, without getting noticed by security is a real challenge for those who are tired of corridor runs with QTEs and other “innovations” that migrated to us from consoles.
But there were also serious concerns. The concept of Dishonored is not new at all - the developers simply combined the strengths of the best games in the stealth-action genre, while simultaneously getting rid of their shortcomings.

I really regret that I only got acquainted with the game in 2022. This is an exemplary and interesting handmade slasher film.
Combat at the highest level. The plot is banal for “good and evil”, but interesting moments are present and seasoned with youth humor. I still liked the platformer in the game (many people criticize it), since the character feels great and dilutes the mess on the screen.
The only negative is the graphics. It’s very striking in our time, but you adequately understand that the game is already 10 years old

The gameplay is very simple - every morning some grass-ants grow in our secret garden, and visitors come to our shop with different needs and requests. Our task is to listen to everyone, figure out how to help their troubles and mix such a concoction by rubbing the necessary herbs in a mortar. It is advisable not to confuse a love potion with a sleep potion, although sometimes you really want to. For this simple trade we get a little gold, with it we buy improvements to the shop, more and more fancy herbs and mushrooms from the herbalist or mushroom picker, all this stuff goes further into potions, for which we get more and more gold and so on until we get tired of it.
