Nice little feature where a 2nd player can join your playthrough online and either help you out or...mess around with your playthrough. Heck both of you could just go about killing everything in sight all assassin style.

If anyone is looking for a cheap PC copy, Gamersgate.com (no relationship whatsoever with that other GG, and is a legit key seller) are offering it for USD 28 depending on your region-

Had no clue co-op was planned. Love that it looks like you're not tethered to each other too much.

This series is weird in their strange features that are more ambitious than you'd expect.

Still have to finish the first one but its a fun game.
Second one having full campaign Coop is a big big plus for me.

Maybe getting it after im done with Andromeda

Looks fun.

Focus recently sent out "beta testing" (pre-release access) keys to streamers and the like, so there are a number of gameplay videos floating around now. Here's the first hour of the game.

Not at all, in fact. Although your companion is technically a clone, there are no arbitrary distance limits or anything of the sort -- you're each free to move about the level as you so please.

Does Tarzan exist in this universe?

Not liking some of the random quotes from this trailer.

Oh well, it'll be a really good game if it's the same or better than the first one.

Been playing this for the past two hours and ugh... Unforgiving stealth mechanics, dogshit combat, clunky movement and brain dead AI.

Are you talking about Styx 1 or 2? Cuz regardless,
Why are you engaging in combat in a stealth game?

2.

Because the stealth dynamics are so fucked, I sometimes have to engage in combat. AI can see you even when you are on a rooftop, in complete darkness. You can't jump on enemies to kill them(maybe it's a skill that I have to unlock but it is stupid either way if I have to unlock that), dedection is unpredictable. Looks, feels and plays like an unfinished game.
