Best review I saw on Steam:

They takes it from us, Precious! Tricksy hobbitses stoles our money! GOLLUM. GOLLUM.

Throw it into the fire, Precious! Smash it with a rockses! Misery! Misery! Curse Daedalic. Curse it and crush it! We hates it! We hates it forever! Spoiling nice story. No rest for poor Smeagol.

Fell into the lava in the pit and closed the gameses. Gollum is FREE.

Of all the headlines listed I got to give the "Best Pun" award to Blue. Bullseye
"Smeagre offerings" comes in a distant second.
Too many lazy "precious" puns.

Styx's main draw is, unsurprisingly, its main character. It hit at just the right time. I enjoyed it. <shrug>

I've eyeballed Styx before and been vagiely tempted - except I haven't really been a fan of stealth games in general (I think the Thief series are the only ones I've bothered with). So even if Gollum wasn't total crap. I probably still wouldn't have touched it anyway.

Still, Styx usually goes on sale for about 2 bucks so I may still consider it one day (when my backlog empties out a bit....HAH!).

I asked the same question about Styx: Master of Shadows, but that game was quite popular. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really? I hadn't even heard of Styx before the game. I assumed it was popular because it was a well executed stealth game, which are uncommon these days.

If you haven't tried Styx, you could pick it up now, or the sequel and they'll play better. The sequel probably looks just as good, lol.

A game about fetch quests with absolutely terrible controls and animations where the main character is written way out of character, and is so weak all combat is to be avoided, but the stealth elements are simplistic...doesn't even sound like a game I'd pick up for free.

Damn, those are some harsh headlines, lol. I know it probably is warranted, but sometimes you can't help but feel bad for the developers. They've spend at least a couple years on it. Like that is all they go to work every day to do, is put together a game for other's entertainment. Then it gets review bombed. How do you feel knowing the last 2+ years of your life was devoted to it? Has to suck.
