4. Styx: Shards of Darkness

Styx Shards of Darkness – Gameplay

Styx: Shards of Darkness is a stealth video game developed by Cyanide and released on March 14, 2017.  Explore the fictional world of the “Of Orcs and Men” series as Styx, a goblin whose mission it is to discover why the dark elves have formed an alliance with the dwarves.

The game is a true stealth game, as most objectives require extreme stealth to accomplish.  However, when not on the mission, Styx can raise hell in his pursuits.  Side quests are available, much to the relief of stealth genre lovers.  A co-op mode is available, with the other player controlling a Styx clone.

Overall, Styx: Shards of Darkness delivers a fun and adventurous stealth game, however with little replay ability.  It is a game with a lot of heart led by an unscrupulous bastard of a goblin set within the dark fantasy world of Of Orcs and Men series. 

Use anything around you to shield you from unfriendly eyes and move to your objective.

Execute unsuspecting enemies before they have a chance to raise alarm.

Never thought about it, but browsed through other dark fantasy games after reading this piece https://rawg.io/tags/dark-fantasy and thought to myself that The Witcher series is the perfect example of dark fantasy. Hell, it's even darker than the books at times, and the original game might be the darkest one. There aren't many magic there (perhaps because of the visuals) and all other aspects of dark fantasy are there.
