Mildly surprised to see another installment in this series after all these years, but I’m pretty excited.

For those who don’t know, Styx is a AA stealth game where you play as a goblin assassin (the titular Styx). It spawned as a spin off of another fantasy game (Of orcs and men) where you played as both the goblin and an orc warrior, which was unfortunately a bit too janky for my tastes.

The focus on stealth of the following installments really benefitted the series, imo. While they still carry a bit of janky-ness (as many AA titles do), they are nevertheless a lot of fun! The story in the first one was very good as well. I still haven’t finished the second one, so I can’t comment much on it.

The first two games are also currently discounted on Steam and GoG ($2 for the first one and $3 for the second), and I think they are very much worth that much.

I loved the first game, bought the second one on release, and havent launched it by this day. Should really catch up

Everybody adores styx, you always love lots if everyone seeks launch reveals.

Got one of these games for free awhile back. Are they worth a play?

I have both the first two games on Steam and have never played them. Should really get around to doing that.

Whoa. I had given up on ever getting a third Styx. Great news. I just hope they learned the lesson from the second game not to shove in a bunch of irreverent meta-humor that just didn’t fit.
