At least in the AC series I can attack someone if I so choose.
I mean, I thought Assassin’s Creed was lazy with it, but now my eyes have been opened. Waiting until the game allowed me to in a game where you’re slowly trudging from point A to B because you can’t get seen just killed it for me.Īnother turn off was the piss-poor battle system. I’m the kind of person who can’t wait to burn points and get more powerful as soon as I can. I was only able to get to the hideout once the entire time I played. This feature was the first turn off for me. Leveling up these amber abilities can only be done while at the hideout. These abilities are made possible through the use of Amber, the stimulant drug du jour in this world. Styx has otherwordly powers such as becoming invisible, vomiting up clones, and using Amber *cough* Eagle *cough* Vision to detect enemies and find hidden markers. As someone who never tires of gratuitous vulgarity, I was quite pleased.Īs with many other video games, you can unlock skills to empower your character. Styx is vulgar, often proudly swearing between bouts of puking. The vomiting also lends credence to the game’s darker tones. The animation is complete with green goop and sound effects to boot. For example: Styx can puke in a bowl of fruit to poison and kill people. I appreciate, and find a bit funny, a few of his human-killing methods. I made respectable progress, getting through the first couple of areas while the game slowly unravels the multitude of tricks and skills Styx has up his sleeves. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t absolutely love it either. I started off liking the game well enough. Not wannabes like me who play the Assassin’s Creed series and think that suffices. Styx is a game for hardcore stealth fans. I had no prior knowledge or experience with Of Orcs and Men, so I didn’t exactly know what I was getting myself into. Since then, I’ve sat down and played it for a handful of hours.
Styx: Master of Shadows was free to download on Playstation Network last month. This may be the first time I’ve played as a goblin instead of killing them.
