Deal | This dark fantasy stealth game, loved by 83% of players on Steam, is under $1.50

Styx: Shards of Darkness was developed by the French studio Cyanide and is the third game that takes place in the Of Orcs and Men universe. Set decades after Master of Shadows, the game follows Styx, a highly intelligent goblin. 

Whether you play solo or in co-op, you'll have to complete various missions in a dark fantasy world. Use your stealth and assassination skills to complete each mission and eliminate your enemies. From dwarfs, humans, and elves to other goblins, you'll often have to avoid direct combat. The same goes for the other creatures that inhabit this world.

You'll have to explore different environments, each with its own dangers that you'll need to overcome. To do so, don't hesitate to take alternative paths, use the environment to your advantage, or set various traps to outwit your enemies. In addition, you can improve your abilities and learn new assassination, stealth, or even magic skills. 

Players love the gameplay in Styx: Shards of Darkness. Indeed, in this game, direct combat isn't the best solution, and you'll need to be smart. The level design is also highlighted. On another note, its graphics are also praised, and some players feel that the controls are more responsive than in its predecessor. 

However, the story is often criticized. In addition, many players didn't like Styx's writing and humor, which can break the immersion. Despite this, it has a "Very Positive" rating, with 83% positive reviews based on 6,990 reviews.

And currently, Styx: Shards of Darkness is available at its lowest price on Steam. Indeed, according to SteamDB, you can get it for $1.39 instead of $19.99 until October 3, 2026.
