I remember I had some fun with the first one (Master of Shadows). But it
felt like an overgrown intro, there was a long long stretch of intro or
gameplay until you finally arrived at some nook that would be your home
base in whatever medieval style town it was. I think I quite around then
and didn't come back to it.

Combat was also possible but as I recall it was so clunky that fighting
more than one enemy was pretty much impossible. But Styx hits hard and
at least the basic guards had no chance one on one.
