Styx: Shards of Darkness

I died and the character in the game told me in the cutscene: "You are ugly and You will never get laid."
super realistic game 10/10

It's good. I think I liked Master of Shadows better, for a couple reasons.

I mean, first off: there are no Shards of Darkness to be found in the whole game? It just... never comes up.

Most importantly, stop trying to be Deadpool. I get being a jokester, even an extremely ironic jokester, but the constant fourth wall breaking just never stops being at odds with how excellent and surprisingly deep the worldbuilding and lore of the series is. I like his intense sarcasm, it fits really well with a character as damaged as Styx is, but knowing he's in a video game and making cracks at the developers is just a bridge too far.

You'll be in the middle of some important story beat - "They're using <THING> to make <THING>?!" - and then you get too close to a Roaby baneling nest and suddenly you're being roasted.

Styx's toolkit this time around is fantastic. Everything I wished I could do in Master of Shadows, you can do here, so from a pure gameplay perspective it's a straight upgrade. His magnet hands are better-tuned this time around, you're definitely more in control, but I wish they'd given him better control in the air cause it's really easy to sail past a ledge or climbing point you weren't quite lined up for and plummet to your death and subsequent mocking.

Perhaps you are already have a perfect life, a peaceful life.
Then you feels bored, and want to play as a low life thief.
Not just a normal thief but also an ugly puny one goblin, Yes you are him. You play as him.
Then this is a perfect game for you.

Great game if you like a stealth/thief challenge. Humor is ok but gets old quick. Sometimes the mechanics can be a pain, especially when you're spotted and have to fight. I find parrying a bit tricky, but I'm old. But overall it's a pretty cute stealthy goblin killer game.

Like the first game but better. You can ledge grab easily now, and you can move around corner when you ledge grab now. I really love this dark fantasy setting they have created, the elves looking so scary and ugly is really refreshing. And the level design continues to be amazing, offering multiple approaches to every objective, and the levels are just really pretty and interesting to explore. The game is definitely shorter than the first, for although there are more chapters in this game, the chapters consist of only one or two parts, whereas before they were three or four. And although the guards are smarter, the game overall seems easier than the first. Regardless, this game was consistently excellent and I can't think of a single bad thing to say about it.

Its a stealth game, really good stealth game and the next part is coming this year of 2025
you can also first play master of shadows which is also good just that graphics is a bit worse but except that the levels are also crafted well

Played through this game after trying the previous Styx game. I would recommend it if you'd like a quick game that wont eat up your time too badly.
