Styx: Blades of Greed

A marvelous stealth game that resists bloat and delivers focused, methodical gameplay. Metroidvania structure with unlockable traversal excels. Best Styx game by a wide margin and best stealth game in years.

Engaging stealth gameplay with impressive verticality marred by significant technical issues.

Great level design but poor AI behavior and weak narrative feels undercooked.

Mixed review acknowledging strong stealth mechanics and cool map design but criticizing weak story, significant performance issues, combat jankiness, and poor level design balance. Concludes it's still worth playing despite rough edges.
