Following the fall of Akenash tower, an extraordinary matter has forced Styx out of hiding to infiltrate Körangar, the city of the Dark Elves. Supposedly impregnable, a diplomatic summit offers Styx a chance at slipping in unnoticed, as he learns that the event is nothing but a mere façade... Moreover, the Elves have joined forces with the Dwarves, and the only thing both races have in common is a mutual hatred of the Goblins... Embark upon a stealthy adventure with new enemies, new environments, and a plethora of new mechanics aimed at refining the abilities and movement of Styx; grappling around corners, climbing ropes, and using his trusty knife as a zip-wire.

What it may lack in narrative development, Styx: Shards of Darkness more than makes up for in its near-faultless gameplay.

Nothing short of a spectacular stealth game that brings the genre back to its roots and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

Give him a chance, and Styx might just steal your heart (only to pawn it at a fraction of its value, the little bastard).

A decent stealth experience, but the AI tends to sour the experience, as does the occasional camera angle issue.

It’s a stealth game with one foot stuck in the past, and that remains both a blessing and a curse.

Shards of Darkness could have easily been Cyanide’s best game ever if the writer was locked in a cupboard.
