Styx: Blades of Greed

Tons of fun, tons of stealth and combat options, awesome new abilities and travel methods, dive in deep and find every secret or go high level for just the main missions both are a lot of classic and new Styx fun!

WTF Guys? I LOVE the Styx games. My favourite series probably and the best stealth games out there for sure. Then this??? So weak I can't even play it. And you have sold hardly any. I only played an hour and I don't like it already. You have the WINNING FORMUALE to make a great Styx Stealth Game. A set of lovely vast levels, with lots of hidden secrets and ways of getting from A to B. Go through them forwards, then save some money in content by traversing them backwards too. AI Dumb guards that are easily distracted BUT kill you in a single hit and loads of nice tools to deal with them like clones and acid bombs. Who get harder and require special tricks to kill as the game progresses. And a fun, witty, irreverent protagonist who occasionally breaks the 3rd wall and enjoys schoolboy humour. I was SO looking forward to this. I bought the game full price on release. I begged for youse to make this many times on many forums. FFS. Master of Shadows, the first game was the BEST as well. Shards of Darkness playable but a distinct step down. Now THIS. A sign of the age we live in, things are getting worse, not just in games, people are getting dumber, food is more expensive and filled with crap like palm oil, games which I love and are my release in life are getting worse, taking more ever more space and hardware spec and not fun anymore. This world is going to hell. I remember the 1980s. I remember the 1990s. 2000s things started going to ♥♥♥♥ 2014 was a distinct turning point, a switch of some kind was flipped, I really felt and noticed the change. Ever since year on year things just get worse. I need STYX and things like this to get away, have my few hours of solace, exercise my brain and relax. Video games are an important part of life for so many people. Remember Witcher 3, released in 2014. Has anything as good been released since? It just can't be as it has to be filled with female protagonists and DEI crap, race swap, gender swap, push, push, push the message. The bad guy is no longer the bad guy, YOU, the gamer are the BAD GUY and need to be taught a lesson, you vile white male. YOU can never be a hero, even vicariously through a few hours as a video game character. There must be some kind of girl boss above you to let you know your place. Murder, theft, rapine, big egos seeking power, tyranny, narcissism, greed, gluttony, wrath. None of these are vices now, they are just lamentable characteristics some unfortunate souls have, often due to poor mental health. The only true vice is to be some kind of -ist, to be the white male, not to adhere to "the message", and woe to you should you ever attack the sacred cows of the day. You can be sent to the dungeon for that faster than if you stabbed or stole. Those lucky few who live under the First Amendment believe this to be mere hyperbole; it is not, the British Gestapo genuinely fight hard to our rank well ahead of Russia or China for per-capita thought crime arrests/cautions/interviews/intimidation visits, yet I digress... STYX would love the Britain of 2026. He would also hate it. In the Britain of 2026 STYX is no longer a villain. We live in a world where villainy is the accepted norm, and if you are of a certain skin colour or refugee status you get away with it. Why should Styx steal when were he alive today he would be given thousands per month from the government, can just go into any shop he wants, take what he wants, do what he wants, carry the weapon he wants, stab who he wants. He has green skin since that is not white the judge would just give him a slap on the wrist tell him he is a bad boy and not to do it again. So what is the point of being him? Maybe STYX could steal the Crown Jewels. For sure he would not make a better king than the tyrant Charles 3. I doubt even in his most twisted fd up fantasy Styx count invent a worse dystopia than England in 2026. It would even do Styx's head in. He would need to change it for the better, he just couldn't have any fun being a villain when he gets a gold star for it, held up as a shining beacon of integration between Goblins and Humans. And of course we need to give up our homes, jobs, doctors, lives, our daughter's virtue, whatever we need for all of the other wonderful Goblins that will be coming over. Don't worry, they promise to behave, and if you object to it, you then are a vile Goblinophobic and it just won't be tolerated. A few extra stabbings every night, lads being beaten, girls being rpd, streets being taken is such a small price to pay for interspecies harmony, such a small price. There is nothing worse than saying something that might cause interspecies disharmony between Goblins and Humans, it is imperative that person is tried, convicted and put away for many many years like poor Lucy Connolly was, which to the eternal shame of our nation forever not 1 person stood up and said it was wrong, "if you take her you need to take me as well". Not 1. So if you are reading now, here is the great idea for STYX 4 : Styx in Britain. Basic Plot, Chapter 1, he steals the Crown Jewels, then gets caught. Next day he is brought to court and let out by the magistrates with license conditions not to go near the Tower of London again. Styx is grossly offended he just got let out, he was looking forward to stealthing through some Victorian era prison, Now he understands the subtle ubiquitous evil of this land and he does NOT love it. He sets about to make changes. And the plot continues... YES I KNOW, I AM RANTING, SEND THE MEN IN WHITE COATS. I already called them. They won't come out, they don't gave a flying f. Give it a go, dial 111 and ask for the mental health crisis team. Even 5 years ago they would be out like a shot, now your friend can stab herself in front of you while you are on the phone begging for a doctor to come out and they say they wont she is fine. How bad things have got in just a few years. I don't think STYX can fix it. I KNOW I HAVE RANTED. SORRY. I AM JUST AT THE END OF MY TETHER. DRUNK. LAMENTING THE LOSS OF THE COUNTRY I LOVE AND GREW UP IN. LAMENTING THIS GAME I WAS SOO LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING A DISAPPOINTMENT. SORRY. GO AHEAD AND DELETE MY REVIEW MR MODERRATOR I KNOW YOU HAVE TO I FORGIVE YOU AHEAD OF TIME.
