Styx: Blades of Greed is unrepentantly a stealth game, and this instalment adds a lot of new features and mechanics but makes sure to never move to far away from what has made this series appealing – skulking in the shadows.

Styx: Blades of Greed delivers satisfying, vertical stealth and impressive Unreal Engine 5 visuals, showcasing a charismatic protagonist and enhanced mobility. Yet, its ambition is undermined by clumsy combat, inconsistent AI, and noticeable technical bugs, like texture loading, preventing a truly polished and seamless experience.

Styx: Blades of Greed is the epic conclusion to the Styx trilogy, setting the stage nicely for the war between men and orcs in Of Orcs and Men. The gameplay may feel a little repetitive, but it's also fun and satisfying when you master a new skill.

Es läuft halt einfach wie Grütze. Ich kann alle aktuellen Spiele auf hohen Einstellungen spielen, aber dieser Ableger stockert sogar wenn ich die Grafik komplett runterschraube.
Mal wieder ein miserabler Release, und sich dann wundern wen die Leute nix mehr kaufen.
Also wieder mal 6 Monate warten, bis die Patches alle draußen sind...

I love this series, it's so underrated. Even if I don't really like the verticality of the levels (it's too much) I consider these games the VERY BEST stealth games on the market right now.

This is by far the worst of the bunch. Not only gameplay changes are ill-considered, like Cyianide can't figure out what the hell they want do with it, but the technical aspects of this game are just pure distaster. The game looks terrible, it's performance is unacceptable and the audio is really out of tune. I mean we have a stealth game with audio issues! Yeah, pretty dissapointed by this one.

Styx: Blades of Greed is a master of stealth gaming, with excellently designed levels, incredibly fun stealth and kill mechanics, and a rich and engaging fantasy world to host it all in. Fans of the franchise and newcomers alike are bound to enjoy this third installment in the Styx series, which knows what a stealth gamer wants and executes it flawlessly.

Styx is back ! It may needs some minor technics adjustments but the overall quality is really convincing. More importantly, it provides great fun and a fairly rewarding gameplay

Styx: Blades of Greed takes this dark fantasy stealther open world further with fantastic results, slotting together complex bases to create dense settings for sneaking that neatly expand in complexity as you progress. Some tech problems and guard simplicity can irritate, but the huge array of creative problem solving, from decoy clones to fireplace scuttling, makes this a world worth getting lost in.

A nice green-flavored assassin fantasy simulator. A shame that it isn't a good introduction to the franchise for new players, and a couple of details ruin what could have been a much better game.

Styx: Blades of Greed is a genuinely enjoyable stealth-em-up with satisfying kills, traps, and sneaking. Built on a world and story that started 12 years ago, newcomers might be a little lore lost but that won’t get in the way of you slitting throats, melting corpses, or mind controlling a soldier to his doom.

Styx: Blades of Greed is a real moral dilemma. It’s the quintessential example of a game you desperately want to love, yet it constantly gives you reasons to hate it. On one hand, Cyanide is making the most of a fantastic character and a "pure stealth" philosophy that we want to support with all our heart. On the other, the finished product feels rushed and unpolished, riddled with game-breaking bugs and technical performance that is simply unacceptable for 2026…We’d love to be lenient with this AA budget title, but when a game physically prevents the player from progressing, love just isn't enough. Styx deserved better than such a technical train wreck. So, can we recommend it? No. Can we suggest you wait for a massive amount of polishing before diving in? Probably.

Having played the previous two sequels, this game has enjoyable killing mechanics, sneak and stealth have great level of satisfaction, world atmospheric design, ruins design and details are great, this is a world deserve to get lost in.Styx can do running and crouching, controlling styx in running, or even turning the character direction looks too primitive and needs improvement, it is not engaging and does not feel satisfactory, and fast and not well controlled, on the other hand crouching is great and has great control feelings mechanism and satisfactory,

A very run-of-the-mill game with interesting, but very simple and quickly boring mechanics. The melee combat is terrible—it was a shame they added it. A pure stealth game would have been better. The graphics are lagging and the optimization is so-so. The game is very average. Definitely not the best in the series; it's not a breakthrough. The game has a frankly weak, uninteresting and worthless plot, cringeworthy characters and dialogue that is embarrassing to look at and embarrassing to listen to.

The game seemed fine, as in, everything seemed to work well. But I was bored pretty quickly. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I need a game to have more than just stealthing around levels and shanking enemies from behind. There's nothing about it that stood out. Nothing that hasn't been done by other games, even decades ago. Nothing that made me say, "Man, I can't wait to get back on and play that." If you enjoyed the other Styx games I'm sure you'll like this one, but gaming is just so un-innovative now, and this game is no exception to that.

Your goal is to get your hands on Quartz, the most precious - and dangerous - resource in a world on the brink of war between elves, humans and orcs.
