Nacon is currently offering for free Cyanide’s stealth game, Styx: Shards of Darkness, on GOG. Until November 24th, PC gamers can visit its GOG store page and acquire their free copy.
In Styx: Shards of Darkness, you get to play as a nimble goblin thief named Styx. Your mission is to quietly take out targets, sneak around, and use your clever wit in a huge, mysterious fantasy world full of dangerous secrets and enemies.
In this newest adventure, Styx ends up making a deal with a mysterious human officer named Helledryn. Helledryn offers Styx a job with much higher stakes than anything he’s done before. Styx’s task is to steal an ambassador’s scepter, which has caught the attention of some really nefarious parties. As a reward for pulling off this risky mission, he’s promised a ton of magical Amber. This substance is the source of Styx’s power and something he’s totally hooked on.
Styx: Shards of Darkness is powered by Unreal Engine 4. When it came out, the game could not take full advantage of multiple CPU cores/threads. Does this ring any bell? Yeah, these CPU issues have existed for a long time.
Anyway, if you are fans of stealth games, you should at least give this a go. So go ahead and acquire your free copy from GOG.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
