One of my favorite things about this game is how, possibly for the first time, the word "verticality" isn't just a scam designed to waste your time. You have tthe ability to take paths the guards cannot, by moving up and down, and that's what really evens the odds.
This is literally the best review of this game that i've seen and I do not understand how you have so little views, I have seen so many people say the story in this game is nothing special, when it was one of the main aspects of the game that pulled me in, and I don't even care about stories in games that much, alongside the absolutely beautiful visuals that honestly stunned me when I first played the game, and the freedom you get in how to approach every situation with the fantastic level design and the brilliant ability to clone yourself, honestly this has become my favourite stealth game (which, truth be told, isn't that difficult given I haven't played that many stealth games :v), alongside it's sequel (which I believe has absolutely better gameplay, but isn't as stunning in it's art direction, and the story isn't as compelling, they tried to make it way too humorous in my opinion, tho I suppose they didn't have much choice given how the first game ended :v). I hope I get to see your review of Styx Shards of Darkness one day, if the quality of this video is anything to go by, because I am tired of seeing people call them "average" when I see so much potential in them, great job mate.
Man, thank you so much! Honestly going into the game the story really surprised me. I wasn’t expecting them to explore the concepts of freedom and identity and once the twist happened I was sucked waaaay more into the story than before! I actually recently picked up shards of darkness and it’s definitely on my to do list!
This is an amazing review. I definitely didn’t need it, as I already got the plat for this game, but I’m certain that some people will find this extremely useful. Stealth is my favorite videogame genre and this type of stealth in particular (look at Thief and Dishonored to understand what I mean) is the best for my personal tastes. I hope that this game will get the recognition it deserves, one day. I know that stealth is not a popular genre, but it’s still the pinnacle of videogames in my opinion. Thank you again for this review, I’m looking forward to see more, because I really liked how you analyzed everything.
Awesome Review my dude, there's not a lot of reviews on Styx out there that was nearly thorough enough to paint a clear picture of what the game is and what ya do. Consider me sold.
Just an amazing review... paused to write this at 9:41 and saw you have others commenting... I am def buying this game now my first stealth to play!! I almost wanted to stop and play before all the great info.. .but for me that was just brilliant, a guide for those who have not played stealth and to explain the dif of this game to those new to these games. ty! as much as i wanted to watch... i skipped 11:59 l look forward to watching that... *laughs*
Erm... My dude the Predator Skill Branch doesn't unlock AFTER you beat the game🤣🤣🤣. It unlocks after maxing out 2 different skill branches like Stealth + Cloning maxed branches = Master Of Shadows Predator Skill: Styx becomes automaticly invisible when he controls hes clones Or Kill + Agility maxed branches = Born Killer Predator Skill : Aerial and Cover Kills are now muffled (be aware that the sound of the body dropping to the ground can very well be heard by nearby guards)
Just to say good review and also Styx lost his memories in first Styx. In Shards of Darkness he takes original's clothing and travels to Thoben where he makes new stuff until in Of Orcs and Men he starts remembering but he wants to move on.
@@isodoubIet Yeah, cause it was a historical event. Just like we can talk about past events that happened before we were born because we heard about them from other people.

He was stated to have lost his memory but in SoD he clearly referenced the events of the first game, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@isodoubIet Yeah, cause it was a historical event. Just like we can talk about past events that happened before we were born because we heard about them from other people.
@@necrago I can't see my original post so I have no idea what you're responding to
@@isodoubIet "He was stated to have lost his memory but in SoD he clearly referenced the events of the first game, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
@@necrago Ah, thanks. Idk though e.g. when Styx meets Barimen, his response seems to be drawing from the original Styx's experience. It's personal.
I love this shit, yea it is buggy at times but it is beautiful
