Really refreshing to have a game with some rough edges. All these A-list games are fun, and indie games are great, but what about the in-between games! SoD is a great example of one, imo. Deserves the love
of orcs and men was made befour master of shadows , but it is the “sequel” of shards of darkness , it shows the original Styx talking with the now Styx as a ghost so that how u know
The animation is a bit off, the voice acting isn't great, but some are not that bad either. Styx still looks cool though, i love the comedy on this too. The graphics are better than the first, but the frame rates are all over the place with the cutscenes. I feel like the game was rushed and the story isn't that great. The fist one was better with the story though. The Clift hanger wasn't great either. Other than that, I enjoyed the game.
I hope we'll get to see more of this series. And maybe a sequel to (or Orcs and Men) where we get to play as our boys again, on yet another crazy adventure, with co-op mode in mind as well. Could be cool.
The one you get when the development team realizes they are out of time and money too early. They shouldn't have blown it all on those fancy cut-scenes.
@Zac Tyson it didn't work, and the fact that the game hasn't referenced the plot twist at the ending of the first game, which is BY FAR superior, is insufferable.
@@NER0BLAST honestly the first game was actually the prequel to the game of orcs and human made as a result of Styx popularity in that game. One of the big reveals in Orcs and Humans was the summarized version of its plot. This was just a cash grab off that games popularity, this game even references that one though the characters returning from that game act as if it never happened.
I saw that mentioned in multiple places. I didn't know about that, so I deleted the game, including my save file. Will I be able to play the DLC without replaying the whole game again?
Styx sounds great, but the rest, especially the "average guard" are just, bad? Atleast in the first game, they were ok and repeated the same damn lines over and over, but they seemed to fit the setting more or less
Ok shot in the dark, this game is set after "Master of Shadows" but BEFORE "Of Orcs and Men" Right? Hard to tell with this series wat with its plotholes at time.
Why is it that any developer that works with Focus Home Interactive release poorly made great games with unique concept!? The Surge, Greedfall, Vampyr, A Plague Tale, Of Orcs & Men, Styx, Mars War Logs, Call of Cthulhu etc these are all amazing unique games but some of these are really poorly made. They should really start putting more work in their games. They have a lot of potential.

The timeline goes like this: Styx:Master of Shadows (The origin of styx, where he was a clone and then got reborn) Styx:Shards of Darkness(this game, duh) and aftert that Of Orcs and Men So Styx didn't even met Arkai in this game.
Well, the first game was way better in my opinion. At least the story was interesting, here it just goes nowhere, and the characters are ... underwhelming to say the least. No twist, no depth, and what was that ending seriously ?
Gotta be honest, this was shit. The voice acting was below average, cutscenes are badly directed, narrative and character stories are all over the place. No interesting twist or character arc. Lack of a good villain and original characters was also an issue
Writing a good story is not about money. I wasn't complaining about the budget, the main problem is the badly written and directed story. It goes nowhere and shows nothing interesting.

should make more games with goblins as the protagonist
Agreed. They are always Interesting. I don't think an orc or goblin has ever bored me
Styx battles against the Goblin Slayer. :3
More games that has styx please playing as a goblin is really interesting and the lore of the goblins existence is also Interesting
Cyberium that would be interesting
Absolutely.
Here’s hoping we get a sequel. Seriously Styx has potential
I agree

Less than 2 minutes in and already a Wilhelm scream, I fucking love this game.
what Wilhelm scream?
@@ZackExplorer28 four years late but here you go 1:43
I'm really glad Arkail made a cameo.
But with that ending... that makes two out of three endings in this franchise cliffhangers.
oohh the references in this game..they are gorgeous...Golum..Kratos
koel700 I know! I counted over 100 different references to movies, books, games, comics, e
koel700 Batman and the Batcave.
I know my personal favorite is when He makes a reference to master of the shadows and calls it sexy
We need a third game.....NOW!!!!!
this is the third game
There were 2 others?
I mean a game just about Styx
Yeah please another styx game
of orcs and men was made befour master of shadows , but it is the “sequel” of shards of darkness , it shows the original Styx talking with the now Styx as a ghost so that how u know

46:40 ARKAIL FROM Of Orcs and man.
The reference is real!!!
BargainBin new of orcs of man?
Awesome!
I hope we'll get to see more of this series. And maybe a sequel to (or Orcs and Men) where we get to play as our boys again, on yet another crazy adventure, with co-op mode in mind as well. Could be cool.
....what... kind... of ending... is THAT?!

Ah Styx the lovable stinky green goblin
Stinky was uncalled for. But he is lovable and green.
Anyone else high from this guys voice.
thanks but is it normal for the ending to be such a cliffhanger?
I believe they will realease a DLC soon
I saw that mentioned in multiple places. I didn't know about that, so I deleted the game, including my save file. Will I be able to play the DLC without replaying the whole game again?
@@rakash4118 dude I'm still waiting
@@nikstieglecker4752 trust me we all still are waiting
@@rakash4118 more a third Game of the series
Styx sounds great, but the rest, especially the "average guard" are just, bad? Atleast in the first game, they were ok and repeated the same damn lines over and over, but they seemed to fit the setting more or less
I love the other game references and how Styx compares himself to other game protangonists.
First game had better story
Second better gameplay
👍🏿😈
Ok shot in the dark, this game is set after "Master of Shadows" but BEFORE "Of Orcs and Men" Right?
Hard to tell with this series wat with its plotholes at time.
FlairTheDark's Neo Arcadia Gaming Yes. It's a sequel to Master of Shadows and a prequel to Of Orcs and Men.
42:48 I don’t blame him for not taking a kiss
They really ought to make a sequel of "Of Orcs and Men", but about Styx. I really am not fond of the Orcs.
You see Arakail why Dint they make them talk to each other after so long
This game is a prequel to "Of Orcs and Men", so they never officially met each other at this point.
Date Masamune Master of Shadow is prequel ou a sequel of men and orcs
Also a prequel, as it pretty much explains how the current Styx came to be.
Styx: Of Orcs and Men 2
46:40 You'd be surprised Styx...
Styx is the only redeeming thing about these cutscenes. I heard the game play is pretty good though
Styx is acting, and looking, more like the original Styx from the previous game.
Aren’t they the same person or is this Styx a clone of the original one ?
42:40 those tsunderes
That ending was better than Sniper elite
When Styx and Helledryn were talking about the uniform Helledryn sounded like she was trying to impress Styx mainly this line “do you like this one?”
Something about the style of delivery makes me think of World of Warcraft fan movies
6:12 challenge accepted face
Yep
Watching this because this is going to be an xbl games with gold game for January '20.

I want a game that about the original Styx when he is still a prideful Orc.
Styx is like a more serious version of Deadpool
U right
arkail is back that is surprising
29:00 Is that a verbal God of War Easter Egg?
30:01 LotR Reference?
37:40 Did he Just break the 4th Wall!?!
46:39 Heh-heh-heh, Funny U should mention that...th-cam.com/video/6pAgzgWsfSU/w-d-xo.html
54:48 (Rim-shot)
man the voice acting and the sound effects are....off, Except for styxs he's great best voice acting in the game
if i want a styx live action movie and the i choose the actor that plays styx is warwick davis
This game is such a clusterfuck but a funny one.
of mice and goblins
My quickest run through new game in Master Mode for all missions for gold time achievement, no exploits, no invisibility, no alerts, no kills, and all shards.
th-cam.com/play/PLxNApnOdZuk4HW9KepNRIODcXVSryQZsN.html
Was that the ending??? What the hell
Helledryn is a great costar for Styx.
Rackash needs to come back hope they make a new one 😮❤
wait a min....arkai? from orcs and men? I was but to say don't they know each other but I forgot that Styx lost his memory when he was reborn
Dunno
The timeline goes like this:
Styx:Master of Shadows (The origin of styx, where he was a clone and then got reborn)
Styx:Shards of Darkness(this game, duh)
and aftert that
Of Orcs and Men
So Styx didn't even met Arkai in this game.
Gods I love this goblin, the only one I like, the puns & witty banter are so rich, the only issues I have is that it looks kind of short
at least there is cutscenes in this one
i really liked the game. but that ending... god...
I love this game. It’s fucking hilarious.😂
WE NEED ANOTHER ONE
Goblin Slayer vs Styx would be great.
Probably
13:15 elf fight
34:39 this area 😔
47:00 i think i got this far
Graphics improved from the first but the facial animations need a lot of work.
Voice acting is also lacking.
Question is this game some kind of warhammer side game
How come you got a hot air balloon and goes back to his place but I got nothing like that. 😭
This games sequel was so fun to shit on.
Well, the first game was way better in my opinion. At least the story was interesting, here it just goes nowhere, and the characters are ... underwhelming to say the least. No twist, no depth, and what was that ending seriously ?
SOOOOOOOOOOO many references... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Can you mantle in this game?
voices looked dub. i wonder what country this game was made in.
Am I the only one who was confused by the ending
41:33 lol
the animations are nit really that great... but the video has somehow really low fps
That scream at the beginning. It sounded so lame
Every game these days, wanna know the ending buy the fucking dlc
I want both Of Orcs and Men and Shards of Darkness. I’m skipping Masters of Shadow cause that original clone stud thing is messed up
The voice acting isn't that great just saying
what's wrong with Styx's acting?
excluding styx..its BAAAAD
Styx and Djarax and.. Hellymere? The tall woman... they are okay but the rest are mediocre.
non triple A title, its decent.
you clearly never played the last two games.
I love the main character but the cinematogrpahy of the cutscenes is garbage, the ending was even worse.
so many fkin refences jesus
Arkail :)
SPOJLER !!!
The graphics and comedy is good
But the Voice Acting and especially the in-game animation is so bad and sloppy for a 2017 title
😯😯
Sup. How u doin?
this is carbachl
Gotta be honest, this was shit. The voice acting was below average, cutscenes are badly directed, narrative and character stories are all over the place. No interesting twist or character arc. Lack of a good villain and original characters was also an issue
kabeltelevizio What do you expect. The company isn't big like EA or Ubisoft so this is good.
Writing a good story is not about money. I wasn't complaining about the budget, the main problem is the badly written and directed story. It goes nowhere and shows nothing interesting.
kabeltelevizio True.
kabeltelevizio FUCK OFF
Benjamin,
you argumentative skills are amazing...
sad theygot the design of the dwarves and elves wrong. almost seems like they didnt understand what made "of orcs and men" so great
