If you like stealth games, you'll have some fun playing as a cheeky goblin named Styx in this one. The atmosphere somewhat reminds me of the Overlord game series, sort of cartoony visuals and goofy voice acting.

It's got a single linear storyline, so this might dissapoint players who are used to games like Mass Effect where player decisions influence the plot. However, levels can be be completed in a multitude of ways. After a level has been completed once, it can be replayed as many times as the player desires, so there's a ton of replay value here.

Combat is no fun in this game, but it's a stealth game, so I don't think it's fair to knock on it for that reason; it can be played as a pure stealth game with zero killing if one so desires. Players are rewarded skill points by completing main and side objectives, as well as level achievements. Like a very simplified RPG, the player can use skill points to populate skill trees and upgrade or acquire additional abilities. Some examples of Styx abilities include, temporary invisiblilty, clone creation, smoke bombs, throwing knives, et cetera.

Overall, this game is a somewhat refreshing, but standard, contribution to the stealth game world. I've encountered minor bugs, but none that would actually turn me away. So, if you like stealth games and had a lot of fun with the Overlord series, check out Styx: Master of Shadows.

Great puzzles. Crappy action. OK story. Clean look. A bit glitchy.

Company of Heroes is a graphically fantastic, heavily resource and micro based RTS set during WWII. It is nothing like the StarCraft series. It's got an extensive singleplayer campaign that is worth hours and hours of fun and a fantastic online community that has released plenty of mods and custom maps. The game devs have diligently supported the game since it's release back in 2006 by continually releasing updates and striving to improve the multiplayer experience. Hell, it's got a 93 out of 100 on Metacritic, if that means anything.
