DaveM12DIM Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Review

Apr 27, 2025
For 95% of this game I thought it was superior to the sequel Shadow of War (Which I rated 8/10). The story was better, the combat just as good, and the shorter length (took me 29h45m to platinum) was welcome with the sequel dragging on just a little bit too long. For the bulk of my playthrough this was a solid 9/10, but I just cannot overlook the ending, or, the final two bosses. To have the story build up and then the final two "boss fights" be just very short QTE sequences was as anticlimatic as any ending I can remember. Was a very underwhelming end to a great game.
