Oh wow, a Styx sequel. Great news.

Glad to see that this IP is taking off.

Was the first one good? I'm down for any game where you play as a goblin.

It's a rough diamond to be sure. The voice acting is meh and combat uses this auto-lock-on system which makes it a pain to disengage from, but the stealth is some of the best I've seen in a long time, with big, beautiful levels with lots of verticality. You can get it for pretty cheap right now on Steam.

Yeah, the original is a real hidden gem. I'm very glad that the niche for these games still exist and that a under-the-radar yet decent game like this can get the recognition it deserves.
