Styx - Master of Shadows

This was probably a fantastic game, but it pales against what I've come to play and for a game that's based mainly on that mechanic.  It just didn't do it for me.

Styx is a stealth game where you play as a snarky goblin, sneaking around some big castle - stealth killing, hiding bodies, stealing the lewts.  Effectively it comes across as a bad Hitman, and I found myself wandering around bored the first level with no enthusiasm to go on.

My feelings were confirmed watching a video trying to excite me more about the game, and unfortunately without that "epic scope of gameplay/story/look/feel" you're looking for in these games, they come across like a bad Zelda, find the purple key to continue garbage.
