Styx: Shards of Darkness brings back the sharp-tongued goblin thief for a second outing, this time sending him into a city of dark elves on a job that proves more complicated than it looks. Levels are large, with several routes through each area, and you decide whether to slip by guards unseen or remove them quietly. Styx also gains new tools and powers, from traps to cloning tricks, to vary each approach.
This is a patient stealth game where planning, hiding and timing matter more than straight fights, which Styx usually loses. It can be played alone or with a friend in online co-op, and it suits players who enjoy careful sneaking and exploring big vertical spaces.
