It might not have the same kind of ambition or bells and whistles as its contemporaries, but

它可能不像同期的遊戲那樣有野心或那麼多 bells and whistles，但

Styx 在我心中佔有特殊的位置。

As one of the very few pure stealth games series we have left.

作為我們僅存的少數 pure stealth games 系列之一。

Will you find the incredibly creative scenarios of Hitman or the insane level polish and replayability of Dishonored?

你會在這裡找到像 Hitman 那樣極富創意的 scenarios，或是 Dishonored 那樣瘋狂的 level polish 和 replayability 嗎？

Instead, Styx contents itself with simply being a reliable way for stealth fans to get their fix and sticks.

相反地，Styx 滿足於成為潛行迷們獲得樂趣的可靠方式，並且一直如此。

More often than not, the usual playbook of sneaking around, stealing and assassinating everything in sight is as fun as it's ever been, and

大多數時候，潛行、偷竊和暗殺眼前所有東西的慣用手法，一如既往地有趣，而且

this sequel makes some important tweaks like removing weak multiplayer mechanics to refocus on a solo stealth experience and swapping smaller mission based maps for absolutely massive regions.

這款續作進行了一些重要的調整，例如移除薄弱的多人遊戲機制，重新聚焦於 solo stealth experience，並將較小的 mission based maps 換成超大的區域。

But it's also saddled with quite a few of the same issues.

但它也承襲了許多相同的問題。

It's always finicky movement, performance issues, and

總是彆扭的操作、效能問題，還有

an unremarkable story, which are as disappointing as they are completely expected.

乏善可陳的劇情，這些令人失望的點跟意料中的一樣。

Yeah, sure, let's do the right thing or whatever.

沒錯，好吧，我們就做該做的事吧，或隨便啦。

Like its predecessor from 2017, Blades of Greed puts you in the leather boots of an elderly, grumpy goblin as you sneak into small spaces, stab humans, elves and monsters in their soft places, and

就像 2017 年的前輩一樣，《Blades of Greed》讓你穿上老邁、脾氣暴躁的哥布林 leather boots，潛入狹小空間，從敵人柔軟的部位下手，刺殺人類、精靈和怪物，

use an arsenal of gadgets and special abilities to overcome the fact that getting spotted will get you killed in two seconds flat.

並使用 arsenal of gadgets 和 special abilities 來克服被發現就會在兩秒內斃命的事實。

There are some modest additions, like a couple of new gadgets and abilities that let you do things like mind control NPCs from afar or use a grappling hook to close large gaps in a short period of time, but

有一些小小的額外內容，像是新增的幾樣小玩意和能力，讓你能夠 mind control 遠處的 NPCs，或是使用 grappling hook 在短時間內縮短大段距離，但

for the most part there's very little that's changed about the moment to moment gameplay.

大部分 moment to moment gameplay 幾乎沒有改變。

You'll still find, for example, the ol reliable ability to turn yourself invisible for a short period of time, and

你還是會發現，例如，ol reliable ability 可以讓你短暫隱身，

will still find yourself hiding inside closets and barrels and before popping out to slit the throat of some idiot guard.

然後你還是會躲在衣櫃和木桶裡，然後突然衝出來割斷某個白痴守衛的喉嚨。

Stealth is absolutely the star of the show, and

潛行絕對是這款遊戲的重頭戲，

Blades of Greed has the same high quality sneaking around that you'd hope it would.

Blades of Greed 提供了你所期望的高品質潛行體驗。

The story in Styx has never been very good, and

Styx 系列的故事從來都不怎麼樣，

Blades of Greed lives up to those low expectations by having a completely forgettable story, in spite of the fact that its protagonist is inherently interesting and unique.

Blades of Greed 也不負眾望，有個完全記不住的故事，儘管它的主角本身就很有趣且獨特。

If you come across a drunk dwarf, that's him.

如果你遇到一個喝醉的矮人，那就是他。

After developing a craving for magical abilities granted to you by quartz crystals found throughout the world, you begin a repetitive journey to, well, find more of it.

在對從世界各地找到的水晶所賦予的魔法能力產生了 craving 之後，你開始了一段重複的旅程，嗯，去尋找更多。

And 90% of the campaign is just going from place to place, stealing these glowing rocks to power yourself up with little in the way of plot in between Those scavenger hunts.

而且 90% 的戰役就是從一個地方跑到另一個地方，偷這些發光的石頭來強化自己，中間幾乎沒有什麼劇情。

You meet some characters along the way, like a gadget obsessed dwarf and an orc who becomes your spiritual guide, but

你會遇到一些角色，像是個沉迷於 gadgets 的矮人，還有一個成為你精神導師的獸人，但

they don't get enough screen time to leave much of an impression, and

他們的出場時間不夠長，無法留下太多印象，

而他們出現的內容也沒有被有效利用。

With everyone spouting off explanations of telling you what you need to do next and little else, you're unlikely to have come to the Stick series looking for an engaging story, but

大家都忙著跟你解釋下一步該做什麼，除此之外沒別的了，所以你不太可能因為想找個引人入勝的故事而接觸 Styx 系列，但

just in case you were hoping to be pleasantly surprised, I wouldn't count on that.

萬一你本來有點期待會有驚喜，那可能要失望了。

Crime don't pay look at this little beauty.

犯罪是不會得逞的，看看這個小寶貝。

Though the vast majority of Styx's bones remain the same, one major change is that instead of treading and sometimes retreading through mission specific levels, Blades of Greed lets you loose in three extremely large maps filled with both mandatory and optional areas to explore, pilfer, and

雖然 Styx 的大部分骨架都沒變，但一個重大的改變是，Blades of Greed 不再讓你重複走過任務特定的關卡，而是讓你進入三個超大的地圖，裡面有必須完成和可選的區域讓你探索、偷竊，然後

It's a neat idea that allows for significantly more freedom over prior adventures, and

這是一個很棒的主意，讓你在冒險中比以前有更多自由，而且

it's quite easy to become distracted and assassinate your way through an entire region before realizing you didn't even really have any objective behind any of it, except that it's just hard to see a guard walking by unaware and not take him down.

很容易分心，在一個區域裡一路暗殺，直到你意識到你根本沒有任何目標，只是看到一個守衛走過去沒被發現，就很難忍住不幹掉他。

These huge levels also allow you to express creativity in how you navigate the area and solve the problem of getting around when every 10ft there's someone who could kill you by breathing on you.

這些超大的關卡也讓你能在如何穿越區域以及如何解決移動問題上發揮創意，因為每走十英尺就有人可能因為你呼吸就殺了你。

When you're staring at an objective that's a mountain's distance above you, you'll need to just creep around and try things to figure out how to get there.

當你看到一個目標在你上方像座山一樣遠時，你得悄悄繞路，試著找出方法才能到達那裡。

Maybe you'll find a nice spot on the side of a tower to make daring leaps while avoiding the notice of guards along the way.

也許你會在塔邊找到一個不錯的位置，做出大膽的跳躍，同時避開沿途守衛的注意。

Or maybe you'll find a quieter path via a sewer system that leads you to the same spot, but

或者，你可能會找到一條比較安靜的路，像是透過下水道系統，一樣能帶你到同一個地方，

is infested with giant bugs that will swarm you if you get too close.

但那裡會充滿巨大的蟲子，如果你太靠近，牠們就會一擁而上。

That can be a really interesting stealth challenge to figure out, but

這會是一個很有趣的潛行挑戰，讓你絞盡腦汁去解決，但

comes with some unique drawbacks as well.

同時也伴隨著一些獨特的缺點。

For one, it can be exhausting to have to cross such a massive area slowly sneaking along all the while.

首先，必須一路緩慢潛行穿越這麼大的區域，會讓人感到非常疲憊。

And if you try to just sprint past everything to get to the objective, you should be prepared to reload a whole bunch as you work through the trial and error process of doing so.

如果你想直接衝刺通過所有障礙來達成目標，你得準備好不斷重讀，因為你需要透過不斷嘗試和錯誤來找出方法。

That travel time feels significantly less focused and curated than the more linear model for level designs as well.

相較於更線性的關卡設計模式，這種移動時間感覺上就沒那麼專注和精心設計。

And oftentimes you're kind of just half assedly sneaking through ruins and across rooftops with no real obstacles along the way until you get to the place that the objective Marker wants you to be, at which point things start to feel much more focused.

而且很多時候，你只是半吊子地潛行穿過廢墟和屋頂，沿途沒有什麼真正的障礙，直到你到達目標訓示點，那時候事情才會變得比較聚焦。

In other words, it's a whole lot of fat before you get to the meat of the main objectives.

換句話說，在到達主要目標的「肉」之前，有好多「肥肉」要先處理。

I actually spent the vast majority of the more than 20 hours it took me to beat Blades of Greed training trying to figure out exactly where my objective was and how to get there, rather than actually pulling off the heist in question.

我花了超過 20 小時才破完 Blades of Greed 訓練，大部分時間都在試圖弄清楚我的目標在哪裡以及如何到達那裡，而不是實際執行那場搶劫。

The good news is that each of these maps is pretty awesome.

不過好消息是，這些地圖每一張都超讚的。

Across the board, the Wall is an absurdly cool vertical labyrinth of concrete castles and rickety slums, Turquoise dawn is a jungle of trees, swamps, and

總體來說，The Wall 是一個超酷的垂直迷宮，有著水泥城堡和搖搖欲墜的貧民窟；Turquoise Dawn 則是一片叢林，裡面有樹木、沼澤，還有

massive deadly roaches swarming in dark areas, and

成群結隊的巨型致命蟑螂在黑暗區域裡遊竄，而

the Akanash Ruins are a ruined kingdom where everything floats in the air unnaturally and enemies are extremely weird monsters, like something out of Elden Ring.

Akanash Ruins 則是一個廢棄王國，所有東西都反自然地漂浮在空中，敵人則是極度怪異的怪物，就像是從 Elden Ring 裡跑出來的一樣。

Each visit to these places throughout the story unlocks new areas to explore, though you'll also do quite a bit of backtracking through areas you've already been, which is a bit of a drag.

在故事中每次拜訪這些地方，都會解鎖新的區域可以探索，雖然你也會重複走過一些已經去過的地方，這有點掃興。

Still, these are some of the more interesting areas I've stalked through the halls of in a stealth game and highlight the unique, strange, and

不過，這些地方仍然是我玩過的 pure stealth games 中，比較有意思的潛行場所，也突顯了這個脾氣暴躁的哥布林稱之為家的地方，那種獨特、奇異且充滿魔法的世界。

magically infused world that this curmudgeonly goblin calls home.

雖然這些地圖的廣闊空間很適合探索，但有時候對於地圖內較小的目標來說，它們感覺有點太大了。

Though the huge amount of space these maps have can be pretty great to explore, they sometimes feel a bit too big for the much smaller objectives within them.

遊戲的主要目標比一般的 stealth mission 來得小，通常只需要你偷一把鑰匙打開鎖住的門，或是關掉一臺機器，這樣你才能達成目標。

The story's main objectives are much smaller than a typical stealth mission, usually just requiring you to steal a key and open a locked door or shut down a machine so you can reach your objective.

這些迷你任務通常只需要幾分鐘就能完成，甚至更快。

Miniature quests that usually only take a couple of minutes to complete, if that.

Once you've checked it off your list, you're back to the mostly uneventful traveling stealth as you find your way to the next objective, often requiring you to backtrack through some of the same spots in the process.

完成後，你又回到平常的潛行，找到下一個目標，過程中常常需要你繞回一些相同的地方。

On the bright side, this format means you're basically just locked into a constant stream of pure, unadulterated stealth scenarios for hours on end as you work your way through each set of missions.

好的方面是，這種模式意味著你幾個小時下來，基本上就是不斷體驗純粹、未經稀釋的潛行 scenarios，一路完成各個任務。

And since that's Blade of Greed's strong suit, you're getting exactly what the Doctor ordered.

既然這是 Blade of Greed 的強項，那你就得到你想要的了。

If you're familiar with the shortcomings of the previous Styx games, then you'll probably be less than stoked to hear that Blades of Greed doesn't address most of these combat, which is a last resort but sometimes required, is quite sloppy and overly simplistic, and

如果你熟悉前幾款 Styx 遊戲的缺點，那你可能不會太高興聽到 Blades of Greed 並沒有解決大部分這些問題，戰鬥雖然是最後手段但有時卻是必須的，卻相當粗糙且過於簡單，

moving around, especially jumping onto ledges and the like, can be finicky at times, and

移動，尤其是跳上邊緣之類的動作，有時候會很棘手，

cause me to fall to my death or get caught out in the open dozens of times.

導致我死了好幾次，或是在開闊地帶被發現。

Worse than those, though, are the usual performance issues and technical challenges, like enemies getting stuck in the floor and frames dropping to horror horrifyingly low levels after extended play sessions.

比這些更糟的是，還有常見的 performance issues 和技術挑戰，像是敵人卡在地板裡，以及長時間遊玩後畫面掉到令人恐懼的低水準。

Framerate issues are actually a fair bit worse than I remember them being in the previous games, presumably due to the significantly larger maps, and

畫面掉格的問題，其實比我記得的前幾款遊戲還要糟一些，這大概是因為地圖明顯變大了，

it can get pretty bad for long stretches when there's a lot happening on screen.

當螢幕上有很多東西在跑的時候，很長一段時間都會變得相當糟糕。

Most of these issues are sort of baked into sticks by this point, but

大部分的這些問題其實都已經是這類遊戲的常態了，

it's still worth shouting out that the bulk of this stuff has mostly gone unaddressed.

但還是值得特別提出來，因為這些問題大部分都沒被解決。

Blades of Greed offers strong stealth mechanics and some truly awesome maps to explore, decorated by the usual jankiness we've come to expect from the series.

Blades of Greed 提供了紮實的潛行機制和一些非常棒的地圖可以探索，但也一如往常地帶有我們對這個系列熟悉的各種小毛病。

When you're sneaking through these vast regions, slitting people's throats and pulling off badass heists, it's just as rad as ever, and

當你在這些廣闊的區域裡潛行，割喉、執行帥氣的搶案時，感覺一如既往地讚，而且

the additional bag of magical tricks offers some new ways to outsmart your pursuers.

額外加入的魔法道具，也提供了一些新方法來智取追捕你的人。

Those good times are offset by a whole host of drawbacks from the weak story, the extra fat added from large areas where objectives are miles apart, and

這些愉快的時光，卻被一堆缺點抵銷了，像是薄弱的劇情、因為地圖太大導致目標之間距離遙遠而增加的額外冗餘，以及

performance issues that can be quite annoying.

令人相當惱人的 performance issues。

Blades of Greed still makes for a good time and offers a pure stealth experience that's harder to find these days.

Blades of Greed 玩起來還是很開心，而且提供了現今越來越難找到的 pure stealth experience。

You'll just have to play around its rough edges.

你只需要習慣它比較粗糙的部分。

I don't trust you not to crash this thing.

我不太相信你不會讓這個東西當掉。
