The WhatsNext verdict
For Stealth fans who want a nimble assassin with grapples, ropes, and a knife for a zip-line.: Styx climbs, swings, and grapples past guards, so each route feels like a plan you carry out in shadow. Tradeoff: Stealth punishes a misread, and combat is a backup rather than the main path.
