Zombra How come you're absent from this thread? You don't play stealth games?

Huh? Who me? I like stealth games. I never played Styx because *the art style is kinda cartoony, *I don't find goblins particularly sympathetic, *I've heard it's good but not a "must-play", *I have other games already, don't need to spend money on everything mildly interesting. If somebody wants to gift me a copy I'll try to make time for this.

I won a free copy of Betrayer a while back but never made time for it. (Yet.)
Ghost of a Tale looks good, I watched Jinn stream some of it ... but again, didn't fall in love so hard I'm gonna spend money on it.

I played this when Roxor shilled for it on the front page, it's quite fun but not really a stealth game, stealth quickly becomes obsolete.

Incidentally, I got a gift copy of this (thank you Dreed and giftstravaganza) and if the tutorial level is any indication, this is worth playing. Looking forward to the rest of the game.

Looks like they're going to make Styx 3 or something. Cyanides is looking for developers to work on a stealth game set in the universe of Of Orcs and Men. Reference to "pre-production" suggests it will be at least 2 or 3 years away.

Google translated.

I wonder if they could bring some from Arkane Lyon's level designers.

Thie first game is being sold for peanuts on GOG right now; is it worth it? I love stealth games, but everything I've heard seems to suggest the first game is rather underwhelming, while the sequel is an enormous improvement.

Not really. The sequel is a minor improvement, mostly when it comes to enemy and environment variety. The gameplay is virtually indentical.

The gameplay itself, controls and UI, is much improved though.
