The newest Styx game, Blades of Greed, is getting great reviews! It seems to be the most popular installment in the stealth series so far.

It’s been nearly nine years since the last Styx game, but early signs suggest the new installment will be worth the long wait for fans.

Most reviewers agree this new game is a solid stealth title that builds upon previous installments while staying true to the core Styx experience. If you’re a fan of the series, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Overall, critics seem to have a balanced opinion of it, giving it a Metascore of 76 based on 17 reviews. Here are a few examples to show you what they’re saying:

DualShockers – 8.5/10

If you enjoy stealth games, Styx: Blades of Greed is definitely worth checking out. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a solid game that delivers on its promises. The story is decent, and any issues don’t ruin the enjoyable gameplay. Fans of previous Styx games will love it, but even newcomers to the genre should have a good time. It successfully blends classic stealth mechanics with modern improvements, making this the best Styx game yet.

PC Gamer – 82/100

As a big fan, I’ve been waiting a long time for this! Cyanide really delivered with the new game. They’ve made everything bigger and better, but thankfully they didn’t lose what made the original Styx games so great – that sneaky, stealth-focused gameplay is still front and center, which is exactly what I wanted.

Eurogamer – 4/5

Styx: Blades of Greed isn’t perfect, but it’s the best stealth game we’ve seen in a long time. It’s incredibly addictive – you’ll find yourself wanting to return to the game even when you have everyday tasks to do, like grocery shopping or taking care of your pets.

GamesRadar+ – 4/5

Okay, so I’ve been playing Styx: Blades of Greed, and honestly, it’s a really cool stealth game. They’ve built some seriously detailed and interconnected levels – like, the bases feel really alive and get trickier as you go on. I did run into a few bugs, and sometimes the guards were a little too predictable, but the amount of ways you can get around things is awesome. I’m talking creating decoys, crawling through chimneys… it’s a playground for creative players, and I totally got lost in the world. Definitely worth checking out if you like sneaking around!

TechRadar – 4/5

Okay, so I’ve been playing Styx: Blades of Greed, and honestly, the stealth is so good. The levels are really well designed, too – super detailed and I can see myself replaying them a bunch of times. It’s easily the best classic-style stealth game I’ve played in years. But… and it’s a big but… the PC version is riddled with bugs and glitches. Plus, the voice acting and cutscenes? They feel a little rough around the edges. If you’re a hardcore stealth fan, you might be able to look past it, but for everyone else, it definitely holds the game back.
