Don Chalmers at GameCloud writes: "Styx: Shards of Darkness is a refreshingly obtuse stealth action game, with a snarky but endearing lead character and an old school difficulty curve. It might occasionally make you put your head through your keyboard, but once it gets going this game offers a sense of reward for its risky escapes and high-stakes kills unlike that of its contemporaries. The risk of employing tactics is high, but pulling it off will have your heart jumping like an over-amped Energiser bunny."
Speedrunner Tohelot shows off an intresting out of bounds skip in Styx where he activates in-game flowcharts to skip sections of the game.
Major Nelson: For the month of January, Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will receive four new free games.
Hmmmmm, I'll definitely take the Telltale Batman series. Tekken 6....whatever....
Never played Styx or the Telltale games but I've heard good things. And lego games are always fun.
Another mediocre month. GwG has diminished since Gamepass.
TT Batman is always on sale for peanuts and this is the old one that most ppl have. Enemy Within is often on sale as well but at least it's newer. Would have been better. Styx is alright, but overall it's underwhelming.
Unfortunately they’re still on a “meh” streak when it comes to what they’re offering for these monthly games. Hopefully it improves as they get closer to next gen. They have a whole year to improve.
You seem to forget that Free Play days are for those that pay for gold, and they are always 2 weekends a month and some times 4 weekends a month, that's from 4 fixed games + 4 to 12 games in Free play days for people that pay Gold, that's better then anything the competition as.

I thought GWG stayed accessible on your account as long as you claimed them even if your sub expired.
Gwg becomes inaccessible after your xbl lapses. This is only for Xbox one games. The Xbox 360 games remain accessible even if your subscription lapses.
I had gamepass without live for a year and I didn’t feel like I missed anything. I just got gamepass ultimate because it was cheap but I’d much rather have gamepass than GWG. The quality isn’t even close.
They’ll probably just go away with Xboxlive and the only way to game online would be with game pass.
Always put shit x1 games most of the time. Do they think putting a good 360 game makes up for it. 🤦🏻
