While upcoming PlayStation 4 stealth title Styx: Shards of Darkness is all about staying undercover, publisher Focus Home Interactive has temporarily plopped Cyanide Studios' sequel into the limelight in the hope of selling a few copies. This snazzy CG trailer sells the tone of the impending title: it's all about orc espionage.
The previous entry in this series didn't garner much attention, but was moderately well received at the time of release. It earned itself a score of 70 on Metacritic back in 2014, which is solid all around. Of course the challenge for this new entry is that it's releasing after Dishonored 2, which is pretty much the flagbearer for stealth action.

Played the first one. It was okay.
Hmmm... didn't really get into the last game but I might pick this up if it's an improvement as I like me some stealth...
The first one was pretty decent so this is well worth looking out for.
I have the first one on Xbox as it was given on Games with Gold and it is decent enough but I've never had the chance to really get into it. I would probably get the sequel when the price drops.
I'd suggest y'all check out some gameplay footage, I thought the first one was a pile of crud but the gameplay for the new game looks much better than this awful trailer. I'm moderately interested.
This looks great. Hopefully it sells well
