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.

fun but flawed
I've never been much of a stealth fan but I managed to enoy this game. My only gripes are the sometimes busted guard AI and the boring old "humans bad" cliche (seriously, fantasy needs to stop that crap).
