Styx: Master of Shadows Reviews

I'm sure 99% of people don't read the reviews. So you may not know that Naruto can be a bit harsh sometimes. You may not know this, but Naruto also grew up without a father. In fact, he never met either of his parents and never had any friends.

fun goblin , poor styx is hated by everyone

I went into this thinking I`d be a fantasy goblin and do some cool shit like procreate. But nah just a goblin that kills. Its good.

Styx: Master of Shadows – A Goblinsized Adventure with a Big Punch Let me start by saying this: Styx: Master of Shadows is not your typical stealth game. It’s a gritty, dark, and often hilarious journey into the shoes (or rather, bare feet) of a foul-mouthed, green-skinned goblin with a knack for chaos and a love for shiny things. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a tiny, angry gremlin wreaking havoc in a world that hates you, this game delivers in spades. The first thing that struck me about Styx is its atmosphere. The game is set in a sprawling, vertical tower called the Akenash, a place filled with secrets, traps, and enough guards to make you question your life choices. The level design is fantastic—each area feels like a puzzle box, begging you to explore every nook and cranny. And trust me, you’ll want to. Styx is all about patience, planning, and sometimes just winging it when things go south (which they often do). What makes Styx stand out is its commitment to pure stealth. This isn’t a game where you can hack and slash your way through enemies. You’re a goblin, not a warrior. One wrong move, and you’re dead. But that’s where the fun lies. You’ll need to use every trick in your arsenal: sneaking in shadows, climbing walls, throwing knives, and even using your clone (yes, you can create a clone of yourself) to distract guards or set up traps. The mechanics are simple but incredibly satisfying once you get the hang of them. The story is surprisingly engaging for a game about a sarcastic goblin. Styx is a complex character—equal parts selfish and sympathetic. His dry wit and constant complaining make him oddly endearing, and the narrative keeps you hooked as you uncover the mysteries of the tower and Styx’s own past. It’s not a groundbreaking tale, but it’s told well, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you invested. That said, Styx isn’t without its flaws. The controls can feel a bit clunky at times, especially when you’re trying to make precise movements or climb tricky surfaces. And while the stealth mechanics are solid, the AI can be a bit hit-or-miss. Sometimes guards are hyper-aware, and other times they’ll walk right past you as you’re crouching in plain sight. It’s not game-breaking, but it can be frustrating. Visually, the game holds up surprisingly well for its age. The environments are detailed and immersive, and the lighting plays a huge role in the gameplay. The sound design is also top-notch, with Styx’s snarky commentary and the ambient noises of the tower adding to the tension. In the end, Styx: Master of Shadows is a game that knows what it is and embraces it fully. It’s not trying to be the next big AAA title—it’s a niche, challenging stealth experience with a unique protagonist and a dark sense of humor. If you’re a fan of stealth games and don’t mind a bit of trial and error, this one’s worth your time. Just remember: you’re a goblin, not a hero. Act like it.

A great stealth game where you have to pass through guards and other people as quietly as possible. There is also the ability to make clones that will help you see what's ahead. Also, different enemies take away your HP in different ways.

Very enjoyable and relatively short game with a decent story and gameplay. Not to difficult but challenging enough when gathering all the achievements.

Really neat stealth game even tho its kinda rough around the edges. Stuff like not being able to turn to another ledge while climbing gets really annoying. Some of the player/kill sounds alerting enemies is really exaggerated. The story and writing are great though and the twist is neat! The art design is super excellent and some of the levels really are just pretty. I wish the game would've explained how the predator perk tree worked before you unlocked it and maybe let you get skill points from collecting a partial amount of coins. If you play this keep in mind there is a whistle button, I don't think the game ever told me that and I didn't realize it till i got to the last level. Also the dueling system is dog shit just avoid that mechanic. Overall tho I recommend this if you're into stealth games and fantasy.

I was gonna give a mid review to this game since its a general not so challenging stealth game, even in golbin mode, but there's something that gives it just enough essence. There are some very rare npc dialogues that can catch your attention, be it by funny jokes or even by breaking the forth wall. These details matter and give a little more life to the game. Other than that its a fun stealth game that quenched a bit of my thirst after playing all the dishonored games a milion times over.

This is a really good Stealth game! As someone who adore the genre, it is a fine addition to Stealth as a whole. It can get really frustrating at time and save scumming is the name of the game here. As is typical for all stealth games. The level get repeated half way through. I don't mind it as much since it's not a AAA game. The story is great, really pull you into a loop half way through. The only thing I would mark against it are the platforming can be really inaccurate and frustrating at times, as well as some enemies are a pain to deal with. I really hated it when the game sometimes gave you situations that you have no counter towards and you have to sneak pass them. I'm more killing everyone quietly myself my it is what it is. Can't wait to play the next game

Styx is a pretty good stealth game, with smooth mechanics and a great art direction. The levels are largely vertical and have multiple paths to complete your objective, you'll also have several options to kill your enemies. The difficulty is unforgiving, so you really have to be stealthy, which is a good point. Unfortunately, halfway through the game, you may find it repetitive as it recycles its previous levels with new enemies type and challenges. The ending is meh, but the rest of this game is good.
