The Story of Styx - Part 1 & 2
Oh, look who finally decided to show up. Don’t think I haven’t noticed you ignoring my shiny new Styx: Blades of Greed Steam page. Pathetic, really. You’re missing all the good stuff: sneak peeks, snark, and the kind of fun that only ends in betrayal (my specialty). But hey, since you clearly need catching up, I’ve graciously dumped the whole sordid tale of Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness right here. It’s a bit of a chunk to read, try not to strain that tiny brain of yours. ... Styx is Back. Took You Long Enough.

In this summer's episode of speedrunners doing the darndest things, I've been gifted yet another absolutely ridiculous feat of level skipping. Wiggling their way out of bounds isn't a new trick for speedrunners by any means, but what's waiting beyond the walls in stealth romp "Styx: Shards Of Darkness" was not at all what I expected. As part of "Summer Games Done Quick" earlier today, speedrunner "Tohelot" shows off how he's able to skip through sections of the game by activating secret logic flowch...
