Styx: Blades of Greed – ReviewWith the last Styx game already dating back to 2017, we honestly thought the franchise was somewhat dead in the water. We saw a few resurgences or rumors here and there, but for a long time, we didn’t hear anything about the return of Styx for a new adventure. That is, until fairly recently, when the game was confirmed to be in development, and the moody goblin would get his hands dirty once again. That time is finally here, and we were curious to see what trouble we could get into in this third installment. While the developers valiantly tried to add some new mechanics to the mix, we felt some of these fell flat, and that many bugs prevented this one from being a great new Styx title. Story We can immediately tell you that if you haven’t played the previous game(s), Styx: Blades of Greed will make very little sense to you, as it is a direct sequel and picks up where the previous title left off. You’ll already have established characters, and even though it seems that Styx’s personality has changed somewhat, you’ll need some information to get started. That being said, the actual story of this particular game isn’t too complex in a vacuum. You’ll simply venture forth to find Quartz in different locations, with the occasional cutscene showing the interactions between the different characters. It’s pretty much as simple as that. Graphics Graphically, Styx: Blades of Greed isn’t a bad-looking game, but we never felt the game was pushing our PS5 to its limit. We felt this game was designed with the previous generation of consoles in mind, but was updated during the development cycle. That being said, the characters are nicely designed, and the enemies look decent even though they lack variety at times. The backdrops are pretty cool at times, but some areas feel a bit empty, uninspired, and lacking in detail. It’s a mixed bag, honestly, and we even noticed a few frame drops here and there during more active combat sequences. All in all, it’s fun to explore the world, but you’ll not be blown away at any single point during your playthrough. Sound Blades of Greed has a decent soundtrack and good supporting sound effects. You’ll get rather satisfying audio feedback when taking down enemies, which is always a plus when you have to do that quite a lot in a game. It’s mainly the voice acting that somewhat disappointed us. While not all performances were bad, many felt phoned in, and many others just felt very low quality. Some voice actors just sounded as if they had to force themselves to swear, making it just a tad unnatural and awkward in a few dialogues. Gameplay Styx: Blades of Greed is a stealth-based action title with a few new mechanics added to the experience compared to the previous titles. In this game, outside of sneaking around, you’ll also have to take out a lot of enemies, find items to access new items in the new ‘open-world’ format, and use your platforming skills to progress as well. It’s a fairly straightforward experience, but it will take you a while to get the hang of this. Even on the easy difficulty setting, you might need some time to adjust here. That being said, it’s often a matter of sneaking around, killing enemies, and just progressing naturally by completing your objective(s). The game offers you quite a few cool and brutal ways of disposing of your enemies, which is always a plus for a more mature title such as this. As you progress, you’ll be able to unlock more and more skills, further expanding your way of navigating the world and killing your foes. Even though the overall concept of Styx: Blades of Greed isn’t bad, and it does try something new with the franchise, the execution simply falls flat. For a stealth game, you have to engage in fairly clunky combat a lot, which somewhat defeats the purpose of sneaking around at times. On top of that, hit detection is abysmal, and enemies seemingly have aimbot turned on for certain ranged attacks. Damage even happens before an actual hit happens at times, which just feels like poor programming. The new open-world feeling of the game doesn’t always feel that amazing either, and not getting experience for kills also defeats the purpose of making the game a bit more ‘kill-heavy’. It feels like the developers tried to implement new things, for which we are grateful, but they kind of missed the mark with many of them. Conclusion Styx: Blades of Greed is a fairly entertaining sequel to Styx: Shards of Darkness, albeit very rough around the edges. The developers clearly tried to upgrade the experience, but due to many small bugs, weird gameplay choices, and a presentation that felt a bit unpolished, the game ends up being decent instead of actually great. Nonetheless, if you’re a fan of the previous titles, you’ll still like a lot of what this one has to offer, but with a heavier focus on combat, Blades of Greed does stray away from a more pure stealth experience. If you don’t mind that, then this one is certainly worth looking into.
