Mildly surprised to see another installment in this series after all these years, but I’m pretty excited.

For those who don’t know, Styx is a AA stealth game where you play as a goblin assassin (the titular Styx). It spawned as a spin off of another fantasy game (Of orcs and men) where you played as both the goblin and an orc warrior, which was unfortunately a bit too janky for my tastes.

The focus on stealth of the following installments really benefitted the series, imo. While they still carry a bit of janky-ness (as many AA titles do), they are nevertheless a lot of fun! The story in the first one was very good as well. I still haven’t finished the second one, so I can’t comment much on it.

The first two games are also currently discounted on Steam and GoG ($2 for the first one and $3 for the second), and I think they are very much worth that much.

Maestro,

Oh, thanks. I bought them!

Is Outer Wilds indie? Because Outer Wilds is my favorite :).

No text list is crazy

Edit: Not the actual list, it’s someone else’s top 15 apparently.

PhilipTheBucket,

That’s not the actual list although it’s a perfectly accurate list. I liked this video because it was highly focused on some less well-known titles.

  1. Viewfinder
  2. Moonlighter
  3. Death’s Door
  4. Astalon
  5. Sea of Stars
  6. Blasphemous 2
  7. El Fungo
  8. Mini Shooter Adventures
  9. Chained Echoes
  10. Tunic
  11. CrossCode
muhyb,

Oh my, I didn’t even match the numbers. It’s someone else’s list. Still viable though. :)

PhilipTheBucket,

Yeah, they are both good lists.

Also, Cunningham’s Law. I totally ignored the person who simply asked for the information.

muhyb,

Hahaha, true dat.

mohab,

Why title it "of All Time" though 😅 Helps with engagement, I suppose.

Also, fuck Japan, I guess, haha.

Templa,

Where is Disco Elysium on all these lists? 🤨

Blasphemous 2

I do not agree that the second is better than the first after playing one after another, but that might be because the way the store evolved made the bosses less interesting to me on the second game.

NigelFrobisher,

“Yeah, I’m into Indie games… you’ve probably never heard of them.”

Ashen44,

While I agree with the criticisms of this list, it does have 2 of my favourite games of all time (Tunic and Crosscode) so I dub it based as hell.

PhilipTheBucket,

Yeah, that’s why I like it. It is a well-informed list that still communicates good information. Presumably a lot of people who would find themselves watching this video already would know that Celeste is good.

How is Bastion on neither of these lists??

JustEnoughDucks,
@JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

This is a better list than the actual list probably 😅 Not having hollow knight or cuphead on the actual list is pretty insane and it is much more of a “non-mainstream best indie games” list

muhyb,

Thanks to AAA companies (also AAAA one) being shit, we live in the golden age of indies. So many great and niche games out there. I would definitely put Obra Dinn in this list.

PhilipTheBucket,

“Papers, Please” got robbed, too.

Manapany,

No outer wild… Then worthless to my eyes :p

LlamaByte, (edited ) do games w Styx: Blades of Greed | Reveal Trailer

Got one of these games for free awhile back. Are they worth a play?

if you enjoy stealth games, sure!

The main idea is that Styx is smaller than humans, so direct combat is never an option. Stealth takedowns, traps and such are the tools here. The enemies are delightfully stupid: sure, once you’ve been spotted they give you a chase and smack you about, but they also go back to their patrols if you manage to escape and hide for a bit. The usual “huh, must have been the wind” thing.

Gameplay can be a bit quicksave/quickload if that’s how you want to play it. Levels are generally huge, but end up somewhat being obstacle courses with few routes which zigzag around the direct path through them.

The games are a bit “eurojank”, sure, but imo, very enjoyable. But I am the kind of gamer who takes hours per level just so they can knock out EVERYBODY in the level, without raising alarms, just because that’s fun to me, so I might be a bit biased. :P

All in all, since you already got them, give them a whirl? The first levels tell you pretty fast if you like the gameplay or not.

I JUST started replaying Styx -games, can’t wait for this one!

Odo, (edited ) do games w Styx: Blades of Greed | Reveal Trailer

Whoa. I had given up on ever getting a third Styx. Great news. I just hope they learned the lesson from the second game not to shove in a bunch of irreverent meta-humor that just didn’t fit.

I loved the first game, bought the second one on release, and havent launched it by this day. Should really catch up

MyDarkestTimeline01, do games w Styx: Blades of Greed | Reveal Trailer

I’ll have to let my wife know. She loved those games.

Sina, do gaming w 11 Best Indie Games of All Time

Celeste has to be 1. right?

I don’t know if any thing in that video looked even remotely realistic, except maybe the lame handstand ride.

SomethingBurger,

THPS was never realistic, it’s basically Mario 64 on wheels.

Mojave,

Yeah, if it was realistic it wouldn’t be fun

Isn't that what the Skate series is for?

SomethingBurger,

Skate 4 is coming out any day now!

Anyone know the price they are asking?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

$50 for the base game, $70 for digital deluxe with two bonus skins from Doom and some unknown number of additional songs, as well as 3 days advance access.

Cort,

Hmmm I remember THPS2 had a banger track list that I’d probably be willing to pay extra for, but I can’t remember 3/4 much at all

trevor,

3 absolutely did. But that said, not all of the original tracks made it into the 1+2 remake, so I wouldn’t base whether or not you buy it on that.

Prox,

Also included with Game Pass.

I feel them killing 1&2 online which felt like early sours me on wanting to get this.

I know most people want this for 3 (don't blame you at all), but I actually really enjoyed 4 when I played it on Gamecube as a kid. The missions were silly and fun, and the NPCs and voice acting were over-the-top in often hilarious ways. I wonder if they've nerfed the Snake Run Slalom at all, I remember it being crazy hard.

Time to ask the burning question though... When are we getting a remake of THUG 1 + 2?

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 | Reveal Trailer

Ooooh I really hope we get the underground games at some point. I really liked those. I’ve never played the first 4 games. I should probably do that

SomethingBurger,

THUG 2 will be a tough challenge to remaster. It has a very early-2000s vibe and heavily features Bam Margera.

Woot, that might be fun.

Though I still play THPS3 on Linux now via CDROM.
