Styx: Shards of Darkness

dishonored's tight controls, phantom's pain mechanical responsiveness, thief's level design and blacklist's co-op all mixed and put together in a fantasy setting.
styx takes everything good there is an a stealth genre and sprinkles it with some edgy characters and quippy dialogue.
it's great.

As a child, when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I told them "a despicable goblin that skulks in the shadows, snickering to myself as I murder and pilfer to my heart's content". I was devastated when it was revealed to me that such a career path does not exist, but the release of Styx: Shards of Darkness significantly lessened this blow.

Amazing coop stealth game that is very unique. Reminiscent of Aragami 1 and 2 excpet in this game the main character is actually hilarious with constant banter and whenever you die he roasts you or tells u this will take awhile so order pizza. At one point the game makes fun of Assassin's Creed as well by having the character ask where his conveniently placed haystack is. XD

In the end I decided to give this a 10/10 because I've played the game three times with three different people and each time the game has felt new.
There's so many laughs when playing together with someone and "oh shit" moments that cause absolute panic throughout the game.
I feel like this game is underrated and should have more eyes upon it!

Anyone want to play it a fourth time with me?

Has dwarves in the game, although you play with a goblin.
Best stealth game I played so far, really fun. The writing is funny, the art is astounding.
I barely know english anymore, but I think you get it.
Full price recommended.

This game is...Bizarre...........
also the co-op is very fun but very jank and inconsistent, if you're the client there's the likelihood that any progress you make in your friend's game may be lost if you crash or quit and when you come back all your upgrades may be gone, hours lost, really sucks, otherwise i love this game despite its flaws, new vocabulary and quotes will be burnt into your mind like CIA trigger phrases
probably not ideal for my review to be front-loaded with a big negative, but i promise, you see this game on sale for a few short dollars you buy it and you play it and have some of that sweet spot 7/10 fun
(also Master of Shadows is good too get that)

Great multiplayer co-op game. Good amount of content. Mechanics are very fun and easy to get the hang of. Challenging but beatable. My son and I enjoy it a lot.
