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.

    This is a good game. The story as a whole is a lot of fun, the gameplay is very smooth. The only downside would be replay. Once the game is finished i don't see any reason to go back through it again.

    Repetitive gameplay but still fun. Would recommend renting instead of buying it. Similar concepts of AC with an interesting middle earth story and theme. Both Arkham knight and AC offer more diverse gameplay and a better story. Still fun to decaptitate orcs though

    I would 100% recommend this game if you have any interest whatsoever in fantasy or Lord of the Rings. Even if you don't, it's still a incredibly fun action experience. One of my favorite games of the last few years.

    The game story and setting is true to J.R.R. Tolkiens epic high fantasy world of Arda. Charters are charming and I really liked the story segments. Unfortunately the combat suffers form repetition and feels stale after awhile. Good price though if you are looking for a decent experience.

    This is a fun game to play. The graphics are great, the story is interesting and the gameplay is a lot like Batman Arkham games. I recommend this game especially The GOTY edition.

    This is one of the best games I've played. All the little details matter, every move you make will affect the way the entire rest of the game goes. A lot of work went into making this game and you can definitely tell.

    This game is the bee's knees. It did take me a little while to get the hang of combat, but once you get into the flow there is nothing more satisfying than laying waste to dozens of orcs in a huge melee! The combat is unbelievably cinematic. The moves flow from one to the other seamlessly, and based on the previous action, angle of attack, and tons of other factors. I kept battling huge swarm of enemies for no reason other than the shear beauty of doing so!!

    I bought this game after waiting on finishing a couple of other games I was playing. I am enjoying this game *illing some enemies and some stealthy. This is a different type of game for me and it's a lot of fun!

    I LOVED how enemies that defeated you became more powerful, and that even a low-level grunt who manages to slice you down in the early learning stages can become a captain if you aren't careful. The game is different every time you play it, and the ability to both dominate the battle field and stealthily cut down enemies from within a stronghold makes gameplay completely up to you. Highly recommend if you liked games like Dishonored or Thief.
