Stryx

As a full price game, Stryx was terrible and the buying public were unimpressed. Not surprisingly, the new budget price has done nothing to improve its pallor.

It's all simple run, jump and collect stuff with a number of weapons lying around to use on the dull aliens, and baddie cannons that bimble about to avoid. Trouble is, most of the weapons are ineffectual - while the majority of aliens have a nasty habit of popping up when you have absolutely no chance of wasting them.

The sprites are all far too small and the enemies are all cliches sponged from a hundred other platformers. A waste of disk space.

The Bottom Line

A pointless platformer that's not much fun at all. We've come to expect a good deal better from Psygnosis.
