Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Reviews
Shadow of Mordor provides Lord of the Rings and high fantasy fans with an interesting take on the Assassin's Creed formula. A visually stunning experience paced well and complimented by the Nemesis system.
The sandbox nature of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is what makes it such a great game.
From the get go you are introduced to Talion, a Ranger of Gondor as well as Captain of the Black Gate. Who is in the midst of training his son Dirhael and gives you the chance to learn some basic combat moves.
Shadow of Mordor is a great first step into the open-world action-adventure genre for Monolith. It up-ends what's come before with the Nemesis System, which brings the player closer to the game with personalized foes. The game isn't perfect - resurrecting foes can be frustrating - but those issues won't hold you back from enjoying yourself.
