Styx: Master of Shadows got released earlier this week but sadly there isn't much talk of it (Prob. doesn't help that its discussion thread is called a 'Demi-OT').
The game is available digitally on PS4, XBone and PC, and is on sale for a few more days so you can get it at a discounted rate.
Reviews for the game average on positive from various websites and there are some video reviews that appreciated the game positively as well.
Granted the game does have some flaws, but they can be overlooked for an interesting stealth game experience; you can even go for a pacifist run as the developers themselves stated it can be done!
If there's one game series many have compared it to it is Thief so if you're a big fan of those games, go get this game asap.
Here are links to some of the reviews of the game:
My review is here if anyone wants to check it out
Long story short, I really enjoyed it. Very good stealth game, lots to do, quite lengthy and the level design is really good. I was hoping it would be good but it didn't disappoint.
As I said in my closing paragraph, if this had come out before the Thief reboot, they could have learnt a thing or two from this
I have a review up over here as well...

I enjoyed it for the most part but it can be frustrating at times.

Hi guys, here is my review at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLqa-oy7kNI
But if you don't like my reviews or youtube I can give some pros and cons and also answer any questions you have about the game.
Pros-
Worlds atmosphere
Sound, music and voice work(one or two misses here)
Styx is is a master of his tools not a tools using master. Lots of thought needed here but not as many tools as some other games which is perfect.
Stealth is just plain fun
Cons
Control when dropping down from above
Some jumping issues
Texture work
Fighting system shows that you should NEVER get in a an actual sword fight in the game. Its pretty bad.
All in all I liked it so much. The feeling of atmosphere the different way in which the at typical bad guy is a good guy here isn't just window dressing but is reflected everywhere in the game. Something is amiss in this world and I wish these guys had AAA money.
Here is my video review:

Very enjoyable game with some flaws that hold it back from being amazing. Decent fun game and for the price worth it.
Posting this in the October Steam Thread and the Styx OT thread.

Styx: Now this I'm actually working my way through.
I mean come on, if there's a game that can even get Jase to put some hours into playing it, it's gotta be doing something right!
You can get the game through the following links
US PSN link
Steam store page
Xbox Marketplace
Oh and if the character looks familiar, that's cuz he appeared in Of Orcs and Men which was decent at best, but this game is much better.
