Great stealth game with some rough spots
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)

Great Game
I took one star off for the exclusion of Co-op option but still an great game regardless. I play single mode only so I do not really miss the Co-0p mode.

Most likeable oddball Styx
Most likeable oddball Styx and the suffering of unbalanced game design... Difficulty of the game in general: Ridiculous. Game difficulty in boss fights: An absolute impudence. The NPCs are almost completely free of any perception throughout the game and you can calmly walk right next to them, practically over their feet. It's a walk in the park. But when it comes to the boss fights, the confusion of the location and the damage that the bosses deal out is such unfairly balanced that you have to replay the entire goddamn scene over and over again until you find out, how you are supposed to get through that fight. On top of that, you are not allowed to save during boss fights. What's the point of increasing the difficulty level of the boss fights so much? Even on the lowest difficulty setting? So that the game doesn't get torn up by the gaming kiddies during their game reviews on YouTube? So that the game reviews in gaming magazines can emphasize that at least the boss fights are a challenge? A pity. Great setting. Cool story (for a fantasy game). Cool protagonist. Poor balancing. I really wanted to like Styx' voyage - simply because he is such a quirky, unusual character. Unfortunately, the game was often spoiled for me by the half-baked game mechanics described above. Took me a load of nerves, not to delete it and play it through...

Pretty great fantasy stealth game
Styx: Shards of Darkness is the sequel to Styx: Master of Shadows, and improves a lot upon its predecessor. Other than the obviously better graphics, stealth is also much easier to do. Enemies crowd around less and are less perceptive. There are more alternate paths you can use to sneak around as well. It feels more like a proper, well-made stealth game than before. The side characters are also more developed as well, we spend more time with them and they have different personalities. The level variation is one of the most noticeable improvements. While most of the first game takes place in a generic fantasy-styled castle or town, there's variation here such as a shantytown and a cliffside fortress. It still suffers from the same problem as the first game, where some of the levels are just reusing previous ones with different objectives, but this time objectives in the revisited areas are different, making us explore parts of the map usually unexplored or inaccessible during the first visit. My main issue with this gameplay is the lack of map. While it's no big deal since the maps are useless in the first game and there are quest markers, it would be useful when you're doing a collectible hunt. I was expecting more of a modern map which tracks your location, but then again its not really necessary as the maps aren't really mazelike. Styx: Shards of Darkness is a great stealth game, and although it's not an immersive sim like Dishonored or Thief, it's still a decent game. If you played the first one and wondering if you should buy the sequel, buy it, as it's a lot better than the first and a bit longer as well, with improved stealth that made it fun.
