Styx Blades of Greed is out on PC, so fans of this series should be aware of this new entry in their favorite stealth and action game. The Styx series has been running for quite a while now starting with Of Orcs and Men, which is the first game setting up the universe where the Styx series happens. In that previous game we play as Orcs, meanwhile in the Styx series we play as Goblins, both factions often being at war between each other. While Of Orcs and Men is based on Action RPG, Styx is more centered around Stealth and Cunning planning.
Styx Blades of Greed tumbles down
This new intro is about to be quite a mixed one, made with Unreal Engine 5 the issues with performance are noticeable, the Styx series never really had these issues before. Styx Blades of Greed is quite the unexpected comeback since the series has been dormant for quite a while, but the release quality of the current release leaves much to be desired. Reviewers are already trying to bring attention to the issues in hope the team behind it fixes the game to make it the definitive Styx experience we all know and love.
Graphics are also not that great when it comes to the way they are made, and lighting effects are receiving some harsh criticism from some users, but some do feel valid because it does interrupt how gameplay works and understanding which areas are safe to hide in. I only played the first game, so I’m rather unsure if I should even get my hands on this one considering the current state of affairs. Maybe if they fix all of those glaring issues I can see myself giving it a try, Styx Blades of Greed looks quite welcoming for beginners to this series of games.
