Styx: Blades of Greed (Xbox Series X)

I was a bit worried about the vertical level design after the first mission, but once I got the hang of climbing and using the environment to hide bodies, everything clicked. The branching paths through the Iserian Continent give you so many options to approach each guard patrol.

The stealth mechanics feel incredibly polished—using the environment to outsmart enemies is way more satisfying than I expected. Levels are huge and packed with secrets, kept me exploring for hours. Definitely scratching that assassin itch.

The verticality of the Iserian Continent makes every assassination feel fresh, and I love how the game rewards you for taking greedy risks. It runs buttery smooth on the Series X, loading new areas in seconds.
