What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Personally, I prefer MoD story than SoD, the story in SoD is average, its about Styx made a deal with the leader of the Goblin hunter mercenary to steal a scepter from a rogue elf, and the rogue elf need that scepter to release his race to freedom.
The main character, a chatty, 4th-wall-breaking goblin named Styx, has a ton of unlockable skills and tools up his sleeve that offer a lot of replayability, despite most of those maps being reused two or three times.
Talking graphics, imho the game looks really good on epic settings, and is well optimized (constant 60 fps on RX 480 4Gb).
Voice acting besides Styx are average at best, and Styx's is okayish.
It's rare to see co op or really any kind of multiplayer component in a stealth game imo, i hope the next Styx games will have it as well.
