Styx: Shards of Darkness Review 

True.

Yeah, but Dishonored is more casual and all about carnage on many levels, so i don't consider it a true stealth game even on the highest difficulty.

right!

who says it has to be the 4th though?

yeah, i was just messing with you by saying there's 4 walls where anyone of them could be the one for the spectator, which means you could consider any one of them in any number you like subjectively.

Wow, breaking the *third* wall - Revolutionary!

breaking the 3rd wall is, like, knocking down part of the set?

it was sort of ish hard. I chose normal difficulty :)

i feel your pain. in this game i had to save a shit ton, and every time i forgot!!!! agh fuck dont mention it. (i feel alot)

''sort of ish'' hard? That's awkward language.

Yeah. Styx is hard if you choose hard mode or very hard :P. I was tired when i typed that comment :)

Sort of ish hard. Means that if you save on a shitty place and you saved to many times you need to try to get out of that shitty place.

I watch them too...good channel. However, they cover a much different kind of video than mine. :) Welcome to our channel.

It should be in about 8 hours.

I loved the last styx . looking forward to this

It should be the next-gen stealth game in the future

Dishonored is MY favorite stealth game.

Sir Carrot that's YOUR opinion.

Become A Legend is he an orc or a globin? I remember the first game his father gave him a dagger and is said that he was once an orc.

He was an orc but he changed to goblin because of amber.

and what about "i'll be back!" sinking with the middle finger after he died 😂😂😂. i never find a game that make me laugh and not swear after a death.

Or puking in people's food to poison them?

Simon R thanks mate

The Last of Us? It's pretty much a stealth game (and a good one at that).

@@_bigdipper Nah, it's not a true stealth game by far

You can't see enemies through walls. With a certain upgrade you can see enemy footsteps through walls, but it's very subtle.

Agree with you 100% Most people are so used to the hand holding that they've fully accepted "thats the way things are supposed to be" in games. Streamlining and dumbing down making games for retardants is how today's devs have been taught is the right way to make a game. It needs to stop.

1: He's saying the issue is that you have to risk falling to your death because it's ambiguous whether you can grab ledges, and cites an example that avoids the problems he's describing without having the problems you're talking about. 2: It's mathematically impossible for the average IQ to decline over time.

In AC games, you platform by saying what direction you want to go, whilst holding the action key. I would way rather have to reload my last save every now and then, rather that to have the game play itself, with no satisfaction attached

Visual indicators for climbable ledges could be subtle like assassin's creed, but the climbing itself stays manual. Basically obvious enough to notice it gameplay-wise, but subtle enough for it to blend with the environment

same, but at least one year or two are needed until I believe a reveal can be done

@@necragoare they making another one?

@@necrago it has been 3 years

@@silentecho4198 If you look on the company's web page, you'll see they're hiring for a project named STGPROG19. I'm 99% sure that it's Styx 3 because: ST stands for STyx, G stands for the game's name (beforehand: MoS - Master of shadows; SoD - shards of darkness; so who knows how it will be named this time, or it might just be Styx Game for now), PRO stands for PROject (project in french), G for game (or the other G, idk) and 19 is the number of fantasy games cyanide's studio made once this one comes out (they're on 18 right now). The post is for an internship, but either way I think it's safe to say that Styx 3 will be announced in 2021 (or 2022 if they keep it for the beginning of the year, considering the company is also working on other projects at this moment).

Method to my madness...

Welcome Mike - glad to have you.

You mean the dishonored 2 "bs" where the game expands on the gameplay of the first game in almost every way? Yeah, what "bs."

@@OTBASH I totally agree with you. I loved both Dishonored and 2, am only missing some trials achievements for the first and have all of them for the second. As pure stealth games go, I also really liked Styx. Have all the achievements for both.

;\

Me too, I was expecting him to complain about the graphics. :D

Djeeez, have you been hard done by?!

I know, hahaha.

How are you liking the game?

I'm having a blast playing it. You have to play it in either Goblin or Master though, otherwise the AI's are too easy.

Played the first on second hardest difficulty. Enjoyed every minute of it. But how do you feel about the colourful brightness of the levels now? In comparison to the fairly dark atmosphere of Styx, i cannot help but feel somewhat disappointed with what i've seen of the levels in Styx 2 so far. While i can't deny the visuals look beautiful, it does feel a little less grimy and haunting. I immensely liked that about the first game.

amber vision is also cheap to use. now you might say that you might not like amber vision as it might make it slightly easy but if you want a queue for a ledge to climb on then don't complain about amber vision. I'm not bashing, the video I can highly agree on but it just bugged me when you mentioned it doesn't highlight climbing which I don't think it even should but there is amber vision to tell you where you can climb, the cheapest magic in the game

Alex Nichols yes and harder...read up on how they change the gameplay rules if you add in a 2nd player

Agreed. The treasured RazorFist turned me on to Master of Shadows last year and it was a blast. I'm replaying it this week before I fire up SoD!

Kaelan ニール there already is. The entire game was played out on 5th march by the Playstation clan (with i think french commentary) and another channel but its only 2 missions.

too many lols, i couldn't laugh.

Yes

It's especially bad because you're already pissed when you die...and then you get even more when he taunts you. I'm not a fan of it...but for many people it's not so bad.

Exactly what I thought. I doubt it's a positive thing for many though. Thanks for the good review btw (:

yep np :D

i like the taunts.

I think I see why some people like them. And some seem to be funny. Still don't like the idea but it's probably not as bad as I initially thought.

Right!? Breaking the 3rd wall would just be, like, crashing through a window.
