Feb 24, 2026Styx: Blades of Greed is the epic conclusion to the Styx trilogy, setting the stage nicely for the war between men and orcs in Of Orcs and Men. The gameplay may feel a little repetitive, but it's also fun and satisfying when you master a new skill.

Feb 17, 2026Cyanide Studios created a third game that makes stealth feel even more rewarding in Styx: Blades of Greed. While the nine-year wait doesn’t make it seem much bigger at a glance, the new open-world design places greater emphasis on traversal and exploration, for better or worse.

Feb 17, 2026A nice green-flavored assassin fantasy simulator. A shame that it isn't a good introduction to the franchise for new players, and a couple of details ruin what could have been a much better game.

Apr 15, 2026Despite some jankiness and uncooked aspects, Blades of Greed evokes the golden era of stealth gaming while introducing some brilliant new ideas of its own. The gravelly grump at its centre might be hard to love, but it’s difficult not to appreciate Cyanide Studio’s sizeable achievement here.

Feb 17, 2026Styx: Blades of Greed is a real moral dilemma. It’s the quintessential example of a game you desperately want to love, yet it constantly gives you reasons to hate it. On one hand, Cyanide is making the most of a fantastic character and a "pure stealth" philosophy that we want to support with all our heart. On the other, the finished product feels rushed and unpolished, riddled with game-breaking bugs and technical performance that is simply unacceptable for 2026…We’d love to be lenient with this AA budget title, but when a game physically prevents the player from progressing, love just isn't enough. Styx deserved better than such a technical train wreck. So, can we recommend it? No. Can we suggest you wait for a massive amount of polishing before diving in? Probably.
