Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the gameplay, story, and Nemesis System in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Many also appreciate the open world, affordable price, and action-packed nature of the game, along with its substantial content. However, some players found the game repetitive and experienced challenges with the difficulty and controls. Despite these minor drawbacks, the positive feedback on the core gameplay elements is overwhelmingly prevalent.

    While this does not hold true to the original series of Lord of the Rings, it does well at diving deeper into its imaginative lore. Making this fun fantasy realm that you can play in. Outside of that it does have this Assassin's Creed style of gameplay. Running and jumping all over the place, while you either stealth kill or fight your enemies head on. The gameplay itself is fairly fluid and the graphics despite this being an uspcale of the previous gen releases are pretty good. Plus it has more RPG mechanics added into it with the leveling up and skill board that you can dive into. This follows the movies as once again Wargs cannot talk. Also the elf speech and so on. Tolkien does not dive into those separate languages so much in his books and the Wargs said some horrible things in human tongue. It is definitely on the violent said as heads will fly. Not really a lot of blood, but definitely a lot of decapitations. For me this has been a nitty gritty blast with a fantasy world that I know fairly well. The gameplay is easy to get used to and I get to run down my enemies in various ways while searching high and low for little power ups and upgrades.

    A decent story and great gameplay. There is a learning curve with the control scheme but it’s very good once you master it.

    It's a good experience if you like LOTR stuff. Generally it's a button masher with a good enough story line. I like the enemy rank system.

    Imagine Assassins Creed, The Batman Arkham series, set in the Lord of the Rings Universe. The mechanics and graphics are solid. The Nemesis System is a fantastic idea and I look forward to seeing it evolve in Shadow of War.
