yes its good
Styx is Hot
If I could still refund this, I would. Pain in the ass.
Fun stealth game with excellent character models and an interesting setting.
Крутая стелс игра в которой играешь за гоблина. В целом игра хорошая, но слегка затянутая и душноватая.
good story. fun rpg style customization. i found the stealth system very challenging, but i'm sure those who are used to stealth games would enjoy it a lot.
Good classic stealth game.
An amazing stealth game hardly anyone has played or heard about. A true underdog!
very good
This game is an absolute classic. In my humble opinion has barely aged some 10 years since release. Styx is just great, with a unique high-fantasy story line and super-huge stealth maps to explore. There are multiple ways to sneak towards your goals, with the choice of using a long deadly knife to backstab and brutish goblin magic to trick and evade. There are enemies around every corner, secret tunnels to discover and huge walls to scale. Not a dull moment truly.
So, yeah...I love this game. Definitely will be one of my all time favourites for sure. Worth buying whether full price or on sale (the discount is often around 90% ). May need put aside least 20 hours to complete first playthru, even on easy as levels are vast. Be prepared to die quite a lot too (elves are badass, just sayin ////).... the pain is worth the satisfaction when completed.
Good luck Rakash!
the ac game ac fans yearn for
Fun game
Прикольная игра, не сказал бы, что она стоит 800 рублей(я купил по скидке за 100), но если вам заходят игры этого жанра, то покупайте. Игра проходится не очень долго, каждый уровень можно пройти разными способами, как только вам надоедает геймплей, появляется что-то новое, например новые мобы, есть скиллы, которые можно прокачивать, прикольный сюжет, отличная графика(игре 10 лет уже между прочим). Также есть ещё несколько игр, от разработчика, в этой вселенной. Короче отыграл всего лишь 15 часов, прошёл ещё не всё, но уже могу сказать, что не заброшу игру, пока не пройду до конца. Респект разрабам!
As a stealth game I highly recommend it, it's moody, quirky, immersive, atmospheric, challenging, and most of all fun. It can be time consuming and frustrating sometimes but this is a real hardcore stealth game, you can't even begin to blow your cover even the slightest bit in certain parts or you are dead. Some enemies you can only poison. There are very few games out there like this. At the end you can replay missions which is nice. Styx as a character is pretty likable. Some say the graphics are dated and not good, I think they look really good for the time the game came out, factor in the really great atmosphere and the graphical downsides are minimal. The world is huge and fun to explore while striving to not be undetected. Overall great game that anyone who likes stealth should not pass up. The story is nice as well.
I was pleasantly surprised by this game. Went into it without much information besides "it's a stealth game".
The closest comparison I can think of would be a Splinter Cell game.
The highlights for me were:
- Levels: I was impressed by the scale of the levels in the game, and how many different paths there were. I know it's cliche for this genre, but it still got me.
- Art Design: I found the artstyle for the game interesting enough to stand out. The graphics aren't technically amazing, but I'd say that the look of the world, from buildings to enemy outfits to the lighting really make up for what is now an aging game.
- Story: I was also pleased with the story. Did not expect this game to be so... I'll say ambitious with its story. It didn't blow my mind, but it was damn sure more engaging that I was expecting it to be.
If you are looking for a decent stealth game, give it a shot!
LOVE IT! MAX your settings! If you own a beefy PC handheld, even a steamdeck - this game will look incredible. Handles well)... smooth.... creative level design.. intresting strong and you also got a realy funny character.. what's not to like. Get it on sale and ull be a boss!
เนื่องจากเป็นเกมเก่า และ Stealth หนักมาก เราแทบจะต่อสู้แบบ 1 on 1 ไม่ได้เลย ถ้าศัตรูเห็นและรุมเรา แม้จะมีแค่ 2 ตัว ก็แพ้ง่ายๆเลย การสังเกตุ การสำรวจ และหาทางฆ่าโดยห้ามให้เห็น คือคำตอบเดียว และที่แย่หน่อย คือระบบ Save เรา Save ล่าสุดเมื่อไหร่ ถ้าตายก็ไปเริ่มใหม่ตรงนั้น Checkpoint ในเกมแทบไม่มีให้ แนะนำให้ Quick Save ตลอดทางที่ผ่านจะดีที่สุด โดยรวม ถ้าเป็นคนชอบเกม Stealth และ Hardcore ด้วย เกมนี้ตอบโจทย์ แต่ถ้าไม่ ไปเล่นเกมอื่นเถอะ
i played both these games on ps4 and i can say they are hella fun and have great replay achievement value. They are prolly the best stealth games ever. Play on goblins mode.
A fun idea, but the play get boring very quickly, especially once the maps start getting recycled. The story is also not the strongest.
✅this is the one of the best and Awesome Game with Lovely Story and Gameplay, i played this game 5 years ago, and still "Styx: Master of Shadows" is the one of the best Game i ever played, im still playing Styx: Master of Shadows these days❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
✅I really recommend you to play this game❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
If you had told me this game it was a 2006-08 release with little other competition in the genre, I’d have believed you. But instead, it was released two years after Dishonored and quite a few years after the stealth giants that came before it.
It is very much a stealth game, you solve simple environmental puzzles and wait for cycles, that’s it. Combat is not even an afterthought since reloading makes so much more sense. Your best course of action is to interact with as little of the game as possible and route around the edges of levels to get to your objective marker, as usual. This also means that 50-90% of a level is not going to even get seen except to improve your end-of-level score. In fact, between the mandatory stealth gameplay, collecting money to spend between levels, putting out torches, the snarky main character... you’d almost think it was a Thief game without any of the immersive-sim elements that made those games so impactful.
The environments are relatively same-y, consisting of such settings as: sewers, dungeon, and fortress (daytime and nighttime version). The 3-4 enemy designs are great, and the goblins and ogres look detailed and stylistic. Unfortunately it is very tough to tell where the level is shaded before you get there and start glowing orange, especially when nighttime levels have you totally visible in beams of moonlight while daytime levels leave you impossible to see in the shade.
The levels are not designed to facilitate extensive movement, you’ll keep to the floors and slink around guard blindspots, or you’ll jump between carefully placed ledges and wall anchors. Restricted movement leads to you playing the game exactly the way the devs intended with little to no say about it otherwise.
Even with the true-stealth gameplay and mediocre environments, the abilities could have made all the difference. They didn’t.
> Amber vision highlights things already in your FOV (aka the things you could already see). Helpful for the anchors that blend into the walls but not much else.
> Invisibility works exactly like you’d expect, perhaps even too well. You can pop invis after getting spotted and get away scot-free nearly every time.
> Clone-Styx can do exactly two things that your regular Styx cannot: 1) pass through certain doors to pull the lever immediately on the other side (is that supposed to be a puzzle?), and 2) get seen by guards and die, alerting them to your local presence and briefly drawing them away from their posts. The latter “strategy” seems counter-intuitive to stealth games in my mind, since the whole point is to do your thing without anyone noticing, but even then it doesn’t work super well in practice and seems like more of a cop-out for players who don’t want to do the puzzle part of the game. Your clone is also unable to pick up items or climb on ledges or wall anchors, severely limiting its movement in the level, and really its ability to do much of anything besides be a non-stealthy distraction.
There’s just zero room for experimentation beyond quicksave + quickload bs. You’re already passively encouraged to spam the quicksave button constantly because every single mistake has an impending death screen behind it, and autosaves are few and far between despite the mostly linear levels. You are massively restricted in what you can do, plus figuring out what you even CAN do is made more difficult by cluttered environments and so much obscured information. It really doesn’t make sense that this game released in 2014 considering all that has come before it, and I don't see it as underrated or particularly innovative. Passable, perhaps, but not worth going out of your way to play.
This stealth game could have been so much better had the platforming been tighter and had there been more stealth options.
- In terms of the platforming, it's extremely frustrating when you can easily drop and hang from a ledge in one spot, but you're unable to do so a mere 5 feet away...This happens pretty much everywhere, and what's worse is that these buggy ledges can be in the vicinity of some of the coin collectibles. It's almost as if the developers purposely made platforming harder *just* around the coins set on ledges near guards, in order to force you to take convoluted paths to get to said collectible without being seen...
- Another issue is that the game rewards you with skill points at the end of each stage if you aren't seen and if you don't kill any NPCs, but the problem is that you aren't given any non-lethal options to disable the many guards that patrol each level. So if you're going for a max-skill point playthrough, you're essentially forced to painstakingly navigate through the dozens of guards with little in the way of helpful & fun stealth abilities.
- The maps are also static and don't display the player's location, making them practically useless!! So if you're someone who likes getting all the collectibles you'll pretty much have to rely on Youtube videos, and even then it'll be a frustrating endeavour.
Honestly a better stealth game than Dishonored. A paragon of its genre.
I'm sure this game's story is more impactful if you've played the other games set in this world.
Not for me.
loved it
Alot of fun
This game was something else. Underrated video game that pulls you to it´s self. Game has good story, main character is badass and sarcastic, but you will see his some weak moments and through game you will more understand him. Game has some moments that will blow your mind, and you will just say ,,What´s happening"
Also for 2014 game it has good graphics, which you will like more. Only bad thing about game is that you must save your game all the time, because if you die you will go to start, yeah missions have some checkpoints, but there are like 2 in mission. This game is hella underrated and you must play it
Gameplay is very shallow and feels incredibly boring it's just not rewarding enough for replayability.
It's rough around the edges but has a lot of charm
If you like stealth games, give Styx: Master of Shadows a go!
Enjoy!
fun
Goblin go Wroom!!!
A pure stealth title with nice music, art-style and a mid-game plot twist. It's a fairly hard game too, which I appreciate. You aren't batman, but a weak though nimble orc, with a few tools up its sleeves. Use them sparingly and wisely.
The only downside is that levels can become same-y looking, and you'll trudge through some halls twice, but at least, from a different direction, giving you a somewhat different challenge.
Recommended if you want a proper thief/splinter cell like game.
This is maybe the worst game I've played in my entire life. I hated the protagonist immediately because he's like that third grade kid popping stinker jokes that bomb 100% of the time but keeps going regardless of feedback. The plot and narration are horribly paced and don't create any investment from the player. The game mechanics are all the very worst aspects of a stealth game and none of your choices matter.
The only reason to buy this game is as a gift for someone whose day you want to ruin for about 20 minutes before they alt+f4 this game and uninstall it.
This is the worst stealth game i know...
A sound game about stinky little goblin ^_^
9/10
A touch janky at points but an overall great stealth game.
this game is very well done and better than most stealth games in the genre.
great writing, great levels, tons to do, really can't go wrong with this one.
Highly recommended for everyone who loves those sneaky assassin games. Reminded me of Dishonored big time, loved them both.
Cool
its a little annoying the first time, but the scenery and medival fantasy world is pretty interesting, the stealth is good, its a pretty fun game once you learn how it works.
I really wish that there a pure attack system just like AC games when you detected by the enemies. It really suckz when only parry them 3 times before to kill the enemies.
fine and beautifully
the save system killed it for me, die and you have to replay an unnecessarily large chunk of the level
I just finished the 100% on Styx and honestly that was very fun ! The game is very funny and well designed. There are 4 maps and 8 missions, so you get to learn and see the maps from different point of view, and learn where guard can see you or not, and you and up begin to cocky and die. Most time it’s your fault and sometimes it’s just the control being a little bit stiff. But that’s the only flaw the game has ! Otherwise, it’s one of the best stealth experience I had ! Bonus point for Styx being just… Styx haha
somewhat dull game that has 90s vibe with kind of nice visual
Both the fact that the general reaction is positive and the fact that this came out after Dishonored are shocking to me.
I had vaguely recalled seeing some footage and assumed going in this was going to be a super solid stealth game from the early 2000's. In reality it's a very clunky stealth game from 2014. Most mechanics, sight/sound/ combat. Everything is poorly communicated and implemented with an extreme amount of gaminess.
What do I mean? You can be in a high visible area that's 'dark' and not be seen from three feet away. The guard can clearly see me. . . except he can't. Except those times where the game decides that he can. It's impossible to have any intuition with the way information is presented.
I liked the world and main character I guess?
Honestly if you're not functioning on nostalgia, I don't think it's appealing.
This game got my eye since I have played Thief video games and the Dark Mod before this one. So I gave a try. Despite not being a big AAA game, it still looks pretty good, the levels have impressive size and the gameplay is solid in general.
The main aspect of this stealth game is to make clones of yourself. Though it is a good game idea, I still did use it that much but only occasionally. I mostly played in pretty traditional stealthly way by sneaking, backstabbing, hiding and using stealth gimmicks like whistling, sandbags and throwing knives. And as the main character is small, you can hide under tables and crawl through small holes conveniently.
The platforming works well enough, but it still rough on it’s edges. There are many moments you fall accidentally, but luckily you can save the game anytime. Though it is understandable considering how small the development team was back then. And the RPG mechanics with unlockable skills is a good addon to the overall game experience.
One thing I did not like was that there are so many guards patrolling in every single corridor and room. I would have prefer having less guards located in strategically important places.
Simply put, this is one of the best stealth game I've ever played, right there with Dishonored. Fun and relaxed, you have to take your time to study the levels, the dozens of secret passages and hiding spots, while you chug a beer or two. The world is beautiful and sufficiently original. The satisfaction of lurking in the dark, approaching your unsuspecting victim and then stab them to death is rewarding.
A solid stealth game with a great story, brought down by some clunky mechanics and annoying reuse of levels. I could not recommend this to people who are not fans of stealth games, but for those who are this is a fun offering.
