    Styx: Master of Shadows surprised me. The fluid controls and inventive game play kept me coming back to its lengthy campaign.

    Styx: Master of Shadows nails the stealth mechanics immersing us in a charming story and universe; too bad for its low budget production, resulting in disappointing graphics, A.I. and combat system.

    Solid AI and intelligent level design add up to one of Cyanide’s best games, and hint at the possibility of future greatness for this fledgling franchise.
