Styx: Master of Shadows || Walkthrough No Commentary - Part 21 [HD 1080p]
2The levels are really large with many collectibles for you to find, if you’re into that sort of thing. The only gripes I have with the level designs is the fact that it isn’t entirely clear what objects are climbable, especially jutting stones on walls, that would have been climbable in games like Assassin’s Creed or Uncharted, which leads to many silly deaths. Also, it would have been nice to have had the ability to decide to start hanging from a ledge when you’re standing next to it, like in Assassin’s Creed. In addition to being large, there are also an immense number of guards in the levels. Each level has upwards of 100 guards, of various types, which can reach up to 200, so even if every individual isn’t the brightest bulb in the box, they are still a very big danger in numbers. There are also many different varieties of enemies, requiring different strategies on your part when deciding how to kill or get around them. For example, there are workers who can relight torches you extinguish, crossbowmen who can kill you from incredible distances, knights who you can’t stab from the back, and blind bugs that react to the minutest of sounds.
