Stryx
Gameplay alternates between typical 2D sidescrolling platform action and shoot em-up sections. Although the shoot em-up sections are a lot of fun, the platform action which makes up the first and biggest part of it is so unbelievably appalling that very few people will ever bother to progress to get to the shoot em-up parts. As Stryx, which is just a small little sprite in the game, you will trudge aimlessly around a lot of repetitive scenery, taking the odd potshot at big but lifeless enemies with your ineffectual little gun. This is thoroughly disappointing especially for a game from action powerhouse like Psygnosis. The shoot em-up sections and some interesting physical puzzles near the end are what save the game from Real Dog, but not enough that I could unconditionally recommend the game. If you are a Psygnosis fan, there are simply far better games they made than this underdog.
