"Blades of Greed is a really good stealth game set in a meticulously detailed fantasy world. And oddly enough, by the end I didn't even hate Styx himself anymore. Blades of Greed shaves away some of Styx's most tedious misanthropy and has him travelling between missions with a varied cast of fellow adventurers. This sounds even more punishing on paper, but for the wider colour gamut and tonal variety I think this Styx game actually pulls off what I've thought the earlier games tried and failed: Blades of Greed feels like classic 1980s dark fantasy in the mould of The Dark Crystal, or Return to Oz. I still don't love Styx, but I think I know what Cyanide Studios was trying to do with him all along, and I think they've finally pulled it off."
