78/100
Admirably open levels that reward exploration means there's high replay value if you're prepared to overlook the back-tracking.

7.2/10
Styx gets its hardcore stealth right, but its controls and platform elements fall short.

4/5 stars
This isn't a game that takes itself overly seriously and it knows it. It's a good budget stealth game that actually takes the stealth part seriously.

Actually Good Stealth Game
The game is old, but the stealth is fun and the voice acting and story is well done, the gameplay is a bit buggy but no game is without it's bugs, I enjoyed playing through it, and there was quite some replayability on the missions with the different challenges, I think I'm going to try to 100% this

Fun sneak-em-up
A stealth game from the good old days. The detection system is solid and I've never gotten the feeling that the pc can spot me through a curtain or wall.
