Styx: Blades of Greed Review
AI Summary1 min read
TL;DR
Styx: Blades of Greed delivers solid stealth gameplay with great maps and new magical abilities, but suffers from a weak story, performance issues, and tedious distances between objectives. It's a fun, pure stealth experience if you can overlook its flaws.
Styx: Blades of Greed reviewed by Travis Northup on Xbox Series X|S, also available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
Styx: Blades of Greed offers strong stealth mechanics and some truly awesome maps to explore decorated by the usual jankiness we’ve come to expect from the series. When you’re sneaking through these vast regions, slitting people’s throats and pulling off badass heists, it’s just as rad as ever, and the additional bag of magical tricks offers some new ways to outsmart your pursuers. Those good times are offset by a whole host of drawbacks, from the weak story, the extra fat added from large areas where objectives are miles apart, and performance issues that can be quite annoying. Blades of Greed still makes for a good time and offers a pure stealth experience that’s harder to find these days – you’ll just have to play around its rough edges.
