Is the first game available on Steam? I only see 2 games...

Or is this the 1st game? I was just wondering if it might be blocked in my region.

Thanks!

Thanks! - I didn't realize Of Orcs and Men was the 1st game. I thought it was different.

Should I play them in order? And which one is the best?
Cheers!

Dunno I only played Master of Shadows. I heard Of Orcs and Men have different type of gameplay not stealh like the last two games.

[Woofy]

I understand - Thanks for your answers!

The first game is bad, but the last 2 are great! There is now a sale going on and you can buy the last 2 games in a sale bundle on steam with all the DLC included.

Okay, I'll have a look. The games look pretty cheap now.

Put S:MOS on hold to give OOAM a go as it came out earlier. Man it is ROUGH.

I really wanted to like it, I DO like it actually, but the controls are so so bad. The camera X/Y axis are hard-coded with noticeably different sensitivity which is just awful, so I thought I'd try controller. After a bit of struggle I got my controller "working" but the inputs were all jumbled up - this was on a dualsense emulating X360 so wasn't expecting this lol. I'd have needed to rebind everything, including thumbstick inputs..

CBA doing that just for 1 game so decided to play with M&KB. With how linear the levels are, it doesn't really hurt much having so little movement of the Y-axis, just something to get used to.. BUT think I'm done with it now.. I have 2 monitors and the game doesn't lock the mouse to the active monitor running exclusive fullscreen, and clicking into the 2nd monitor makes the game have a fit for several seconds.

That can probably be sorted with some tools as well, usually I'd rely on SpecialK for this but half it's features don't work sadly. Maybe I'll revisit it but the controls are honestly just painful, it';s a shame cause it looks like there's a good game there, it's the only reason I didn't drop it after seeing the state of controls initially.

I've heard the plot and story is decoupled from the two Styx games, and OOAM takes place a long while after S:MOS, so I'm just going pass on OOAM for now.

It is. Completely different.

In a very bad way.
