Flawed but enjoyable
An absolutely brilliant turn-based cRPG heavily based on various H.P Lovecraft stories, Stygian has you take on the role of a character thrown into the city of Arkham - a city that, many years ago, mysteriously found itself transported to an other-worldly dimension. The artistic direction is breathtaking, the characters and plot are riveting, and the mechanics of the game are deeply thought out and interesting (and too extensive to sum up in a quick review). Personal Highlights: the sanity, combat and angst mechanic is pretty cool. Basically, your character has a sanity meter that is affected by various events, ranging from witnessing lovecraftian horrors to casting spells. If your sanity gets too low, you suffer a permanent "madness" condition that affects your actions/dialogue. Run out of sanity completely, and you die. Combat also encourages a "fleeing" mechanic to preserve sanity and gain all XP/loot you would gain from a normal victory, but at the cost of angst (too much angst nets you a negative perk). Criticism: the game is not without bugs, occasionally even some game-breaking ones (I had to reload one boss-fight multiple times because the plot-item they were supposed to give wasn't showing up in my inventory). And the main story is ended very abruptly (according to the developers they had to make a tough decision and cut the game short with plans to introduce the missing segments in future titles). Also, the endgame is awfully frustrating and confusing (albeit visually stunning).
