QuoteStyx: Master of Shadows marks a unique entry into 2014's global gaming catalogue, with a very short and very... green antagonist, and hardcore stealth gameplay designed to reward player skill and strategy. Its new mechanics bring the stealth genre not only back to its roots, but also brings a breath of fresh to it. Vertical level design, organic player path finding and fluid movement, and the constant threat of being overpowered by the enemy makes Master of Shadows a tense and strategic stealth game like no other before it.

QuoteDespite a few rough edges, Styx: Master of Shadows deserves a place alongside Metal Gear Solid 3, Hitman: Blood Money, and Mark of the Ninja as one of the best titles the genre has to offer.

QuoteStyx: Master of Shadows has the potential to be a sleeper hit this year; it's a deep and very well designed stealth game which is longer and more focused on stealth than a lot of other, full priced, AAA titles such as Hitman: Absolution or Thief.

QuoteStyx: Master Of Shadows is a proper old-school sneak'em up that harks back to the tough and rewarding heyday of the stealth genre, but the production values don't come close to matching the ambition.

QuoteStyx is a likeable protagonist and is quite possibly the best videogame goblin of all time, but his humorous nature and sailor-like vernacular isn't enough to lift his game beyond the abyss of mediocrity it languishes in.

Volevo giusto aprire un post a riguardo, il gioco sembra molto carino e sarei anche interessato a prenderlo per cui ho cercato delle recensioni in giro e non ti è sembrato strano Bruno che le uniche recensioni che si trovano sul web sono di siti quanto meno poco conosciuti mentre le "grandi firme" si sono limitate a postare qualche trailer e nulla più?
sì in effetti è stata un'uscita molto stealth, boh? a me non ispira onestamente, da prendere magari ai saldi!
Beh magari non è il tuo genere, qua di mazzate sembra se ne diano poche ma ad uno come me che si è divorato ad esempio Dishonored il gioco ispira parecchio, ma a parte questo 'sti benedetti siti "giornalistici" offrono un servizio o bisogna proprio passare a Twitch per farsi un'idea in prima persona?
guarda io qui lo dico e qui lo nego ma sto scoprendo piano piano reddit e devo dire che è un ottimo compromesso tra velocità e approfondimento, basta iscriversi a 3/4 subreddit e hai di tutto a portata di mano, senza stare troppo a scavare (e infatti ultimamente sto usando proprio reddit come fonte principale di news)
tra l'altro qui c'è altra gente che lo apprezza

Ma sarebbe il seguito di Of Orcs and Man?
E' il prequel:
