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.

Styx: Master Of Shadows
So far am loving this game of stealth and learning skills. I haven't got to the part where to find the hideout yet but can't wait to hone my skills there. Thank you!
