Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones Reviews
Stygian is a good role-playing game, particularly if you’re the type who can really get into your character. There’s plenty to read and lots of information to take in, this isn’t a game that will please the adrenaline junkies, but if atmosphere and a feeling of reward through solving mysteries sound good then this is one to pick up.
While Stygian offers wealth in its lore and worldbuilding, it falls short with bugs, a rushed ending and very frustrating combat encounters.

Made by an indie studio out of Turkey by the name of Cultic Games, Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones has a lot going for it. It promises to be a CRPG with high replayability, meaningful choices and one heck of a creepy vibe. Stygian draws upon lots of the classical work from the Mythos but also tries to set itself apart and do its own thing.
With all said and done, Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones does somethings quite good and other things, just serviceable. The atmosphere would make Lovecraft proud but gameplay and specially the fighting system is quite boring, Graphic design is unique but not beautiful and so on.

Stygian faithfully recreates the atmosphere of Lovecraft, warts and all, but it isn’t a very engaging adventure to play through.
