Emotions
Players are satisfied with the game's overall positive experience, highlighting good gameplay, engaging story, well-designed levels, and improved graphics. The open-world design and freedom in actions, along with smooth movement and stealth aspects, contribute to this satisfaction. Additionally, the game meeting expectations and providing value for money enhances the positive experience.
Players are frustrated due to several gameplay issues, including lack of a map and task list, janky controls, game crashes, and performance issues. The limited inventory system, difficulty spikes, and poorly implemented mechanics like the slide also contribute to this frustration. Repetitive mission design and unmarked quests further exacerbate the problem.
Players feel disappointed due to the game's issues and lack of features from previous titles, such as the removal of COOP mode and certain mechanics. Performance issues, poor graphics, and lack of polish make the game feel rushed and a step backward. The changes in gameplay mechanics and the absence of a reward system for stealth purists also contribute to this disappointment.
Players are excited about the release of the third part of the game and the return of Styx with improved stealth skills and agility. The anticipation of using new gadgets and the exploration mechanics contribute to this excitement. The long wait for a new Styx game and the improved level design also add to the enthusiasm.
Players appreciate the beautifully designed locations, great environment, story, and gameplay. The visual upgrades and improved stealth mechanics are also highly valued. The game's excellent level design and its role in keeping the stealth genre alive are particularly appreciated.
