What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Styx: Shards of Darkness offers flexible stealth gameplay with varied mechanics and enemy types that reward both old-school Thief-like approach and direct assassination, though players note the crude humor and creative level design appeal to stealth enthusiasts. The main complaints center on the UI being disappointing and the game feeling like a step down from the first title, with some wishing the co-op and abilities were ported back instead. Most positive reviewers recommend it for stealth fans, while others express reservation about whether the sequel lives up to its predecessor.

I love how the game can be played like old-school Thief or you can just play an assassin if you like. There are a wide variety of mechanics and enemies that make each map its own kind of challenge. The humor of the main character is like a 10-year old boy learned how to curse, crude and kind of quaint in its own way. Definitely get this game if you like stealth play.

It too early for me to right a review but I’m writing this because this runs perfectly on my playnix running Steam OS so this should run perfectly on a Steam machine a well. So this should be set to green playable on Steam. AMD 9060 xt 16gb vram 32 gb ddr4

Consider this an early neutral review Just to say from the beginning: The UI is a jawdropping UE4 style dissapointment, and gameplay plays like a UE Demo of the first one. Really not a great Start, especially coming fresh from the Beauty that is the first game. Co-op of course has the potential to remedy all of that, but I'd much rather have the abilities and co-op portet to the first styx to fully enjoy all aspects of the game.
