This came out yesterday - anyone pick it up? I'd love to, but I'm waiting until I finish some other games that I'm currently in the middle of. Reviews so far are (
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/styx-shards-of-darkness) OK (which is good enough for me, this game is definitely a niche buy for stealth fans, most people aren't going to be crazy about it).
The Good- Amazing animations.
- Stealth is top notch
- Maps have tons of shortcuts
The Bad?- You may not like Styx new personality, he is kinda of a Dead Pool now. I found it awesome, he pokes joke on AC, Dishonored and even Thief.

the first one had a meh story with a really cool twist. meh levels, too large, not much in them, and the hub levels were too linear. and really meh stealth that *forced* you to take out people to be able to beat it.
generally very mediocre but not so bad that i cant have hope for the second one. ill probably give it a try ice its out and on sale.
quest markers etc can be turned off (in the first one that is) but i highly recommend against doing that. or playing it on anything but easy/normal lol (coming from someone who supreme ghosts with difficulty mods)
Gameplay is amazing fun on this one, i finished the first one just couple days a go, it was an okay experience. But with this one? It's an amazing stealth game.
Every Thief fan should play this.

I'm playing this now, a year after release, and it's just what you'd expect. Great level design, terrible jokes.
Here, watch this and let your soul wither.

Thankfully you can disable Styx's Game Over "jokes", but there's no shutting his yap in-game.
