Styx: Master of Shadows is quite good as a stealth based game. Fighting sucks, but I think that is intentional, so that stealth is the main point. [Feb 2015]

Cyanide Studios surprised me by making a game that’s genuinely worth recommending. What kept me from giving it a higher rating were some technical issues that I encountered. [01/2015, p.58]

Misfortune follows Styx everywhere in his travels around Akenash. If you somehow managed to complete the campaign without using F5/F9 even once, congratulations – you have an iron will. Most of you, though, will be loading the last quicksave every couple of minutes, because Styx can be so clumsy, especially when it comes to jumping.

Although the aesthetics and premise seems interesting, the gameplay just feels awkward. It has one of the most unfair detection systems that I've ever seen in a stealth game. That makes that every little movement or sound spots you. There are so many places were you're forced to pass with a perfect timing and a minimal deviation will make trigger an alarm. Shadows almost don't hide you, neither the height or objects. so you don't feel stealthy in this game, that's a quite basic requirment for an stealth game.

Çıktığı yılda oynasam farklı hisseder miydim bilmiyorum ama beğenmediğimi net bir şekilde söyleyebilirim.

Despite a few rough edges, Styx: Master of Shadows deserves a place alongside Metal Gear Solid 3, Hitman: Blood Money, and Mark of the Ninja as one of the best titles the genre has to offer.

A surprisingly fun and solid game, that loses a bit of edge in the technical department, but will still be appreciated by any stealth game fan.

Oyun şaşırtıcı derecede sardı. Herkese kesinlikle tavsiye ederim 2014 senesinde PS4 çıkışıyla tanıdığım oyundu ama PS3 kullandığım için 2014 oyunlarına uzak kalmıştım. Bu oyuna da yıllar sonra "Eskidir" , "Thief gibi sıkıcıdır" kafasıyla baktım ama oyun 2023'te öyle bir oynattı öyle bir sardı öyle bir iyiydi ki. Oynadığım en iyi gizlilik oyunlarından biri oldu diyebilirim. Gamebillet'ten 4TL'ye Steam key olarak aldım. Fiyatı şaka gibi ... Grafik biraz sırıtıyor Tomb Raider 2013'ün grafiklerine denk diyebilirim . Hikaye sunumu ise güzel olmuş hikaye ve sunum asla baştan savma değil cidden işini severek yapmışlar . Oyun amaçsız değil. Normalde oyunun amacı parkur ve gizlilik bir arada sunmak ama çok mantıklı sebeplere dayandırmışlar. Görev ise normalde A noktasından B noktasına git bir checkpoint al hikayeye gerekiyorsa bir ara sahne sok ve C noktasına ilerle gibi. Fakat bu A-B-C noktalarına oldukça fazla farklı alternatif gidiş yolları var . Oyun sizi resmen alıp fırlatıyor oyun dünyasına siz ise bu noktalar arası tamamen hiçbir çizgide değil tammaen kendi hür iradenizle istediğiniz stilde istediğini ded et istediğinden koşarak kaç istediğinin gözüne görünmeden kaç tarzı ulaşıyorsunuz. Gerçekten bu oyun benim için ayrı bir yere sahip olacak. Gittikçe zorlaşan yapısı da hoşuma gitti , düşman çeşiti ise oldukça doyurucu ve oyunun süresi oldukça doyurucu . Tekrar oynanabilirliği ise yüksek. 2 sorun var o da maalesef 60 FPS kilidi ve nadiren oyunun kapanma sorunu

Styx: Master of Shadows feels like a stealth game from an earlier era. Whether that is a bad thing, however, is the question. If you can look past the somewhat dated graphics, you’ll find that the basic mechanics of the game are well constructed. Also, the open level design and the fun abilities Styx has, make this title well worth the small price tag. Just make sure you remain unseen, as our goblin is certainly not a master of combat.

Styx may stumble in its quicktime combat and its spotty edge detection, but it makes up for most of its flaws with challenging stealth action across massives levels.

If you can get past the fact that it isn’t the best looker, you’ll have a good time with Styx. It’s particularly recommended for hardcore sneak-em-up fans looking for a genuine challenge: a stealth-action game in which the emphasis is unapologetically on the stealth, and not the action.

Styx is an entertaining stealth game with beautiful levels, but the gameplay is so frustrating that it is hard to really enjoy it.

In some ways Styx feels like a stealth game from an earlier era, but one that's more dated then vintage. It tries to pick up a few tricks from more modern games in the genre, but much of its core wouldn't have been out of place alongside the earlier Tenchu or Metal Gear Solid games.

Styx is quite a cool game and I do recommend playing it, but it's definitely an overrated game. I have encountered irritating bugs many times, but overall the experience was fun

I can only recommend if you are a fan of true Stealth style games like Thief. Apart from Styx the graphics is average, storyline is not interesting and cliche and the general feeling of the AI is clunky. Can give this a miss.
SummaryStyx: Master of Shadows is an infiltration game with role-playing elements set in a dark fantasy universe, where you sneak, steal and assassinate your way through as Styx, a Goblin two-centuries old.
