Styx: Shards of Darkness

"easy big girl or I'll cut you down to a size petite"

It is as good as the previous one.

Enjoyed the stealth and most of the level design. Story can be a bit wonky but overall was a fun experience.

I've played alot of stealth games , this is easily in top 10

I got both Styx games on Steam years ago. I recommend them as stealth games, and I really like the platforming elements and how well they fit into the overall stealth mechanics. The world is dark and gritty, a nice mix of steampunk and weird magic. Sour Spots: -The optimal way to get points to level up Styx's abilities is by avoiding killing people. After about the third stage I said 'cuss it' and went back to pushing people off cliffs and spitting in their food. I do not like when games give you cool, fun things to do and then punish you for using them. Not a deal breaker imo, just annoying. -Styx is a fun, snarky character but I feel they were too influenced by Deadpool in the sequel. There's a lot more fourth wall breaking humor which does reduce overall immersion. Some is fine, but they went too far in the sequel. (I did like the references to Garret and Corvo though, those were good nods)
