There would be more potetial

Das Spiel ist anders als einige Spieler hier behaupten Thief kein bisschen ähnlich. Nur weil es ein Schleichspiel ist, hält es den Vergleich nicht einmal Ansatzweise stand. In diesem Spiel MUSS zwingend getötet werden, wenn auch nicht immer. Allein die Übungsmission kann man nicht ohne töten absolvieren. Negativ Punkte Sammel das Spiel zusätzlich bei der Steuerung und vorallem bei den langweiligen Aufgaben die linear ohne Sinn und Zweck sind, genau wie die nutzlosen Gegenstände. Die Grafik ist hingegen ok. The game is not a bit similar to Thief, contrary to what some players here claim. Just because it's a sneak game, it doesn't even begin to stand up to the comparison. You have to kill in this game. You can't complete the training mission without killing. The game also collects negative points for the controls and especially for the boring tasks that are linear without meaning and purpose. Just taking things to have them with no use does not make any sense at all. The graphics, on the other hand, are ok.

I loved all 3 games

I loved all 3 games (Of Orcs and Men, Master of Shadows, Shards of Darkness) - this is a bit of review for the whole bundle. The story, the characters are amazing! If they ever make a new game, I hope good old Styx will come through and the team will stay true to the roots. These games sure have their unique atmosphere. Subtle, dark, gritty, humourous, nasty and lovable. I loved the level design and the art! Loved the stealth - and the voice! And the music, masterpiece! Loved and both suffered through the gameplay (at times) - but then, I'm kind of a noob - don't have much time to play - so when I do, I really appreciate games like these. They've got soul. Had so much fun - and pain... lotsa pain - but in the end, when I finished Shards of Darkness, the only question in my mind was "Phew this was a wild ride... okay, and what happens next? I sure hope there will be more of Styx!" Fingers crossed so hard I could break a walnut.

GREAT STORY BAD GAMEPLAY

do you want to die 100 times because movement doesnt work? this is the game for you, do you want to get spotted instantly in 180 degree view cone while a ton of enemies are actually blind in this game? While not leaning against corners don't limit enemy vision properly. This game is criminally unpolished.
