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.

    Haven't finished the game but I am intrigued by the story thus far. Love the way the goblins get promoted. Sneaking around is fun.

    This is a great game. The nemesis system is unique. Gameplay is tight. Graphics are OK. Textures can be muddy at times.

    This is a great game. The nemesis system is really unique, but it can get difficult at times if you take on too many enemies.

    Shadows of Mordor is a great sandbox game. You have so many options in the game you would think your playing dragon age but its Lord of the Rings.

    This game hands down is one of the funniest experiences I have had with a game in a long time. I really do not care for the lord of the rings world, but this game made it fun to get a little exposure to the lore and at the same time be an amazing experience. The graphics are top notch and look amazing upslaced to 4K can't wait for the sequel.

    Many people called this a ripped off of the Assassin's Creed game mechanics. However, this game is completely different and very enjoyable.

    This was a relatively new game when the Xbox one and PS4 first came out. At the time, it probably was one of the best, had great graphics, a big world, and unique and fun gameplay. After a few months passed, other games managed to surpass it, but with the GOTY edition, it still holds up and is a very good Lord of the Rings experience.

    Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor Game Of The Year Ed

    I will list my findings and experience: 1.This is not an actual RPG game, it have RPG elements but aside a skill tree and exp bar there its not much from it. 2. The stealth mechanics are pretty basic, just pass over the enemies quick enough for it perception bar not to turn red and you'll be fine. 3. Story wise not the best narrative, if you like a strong story driven game, go somewhere else. 4. The Battle mechanics feels like a refined version of what WB did with Batman Arkham Origins (which its a good thing). 5. Sometimes the camera get stuck at walls in the middle of a fight, specially if you try to climb over a structure. 6. I feel they needed to polish more the parkour/climbing elements, sometimes i get stuck on ropes or if I want the character to jump in a certain direction the response does not reflect what I'm trying to do. Despite all of this the game feels fun and its fun to play so I'm still giving my 4 stars, also to have all the DLC content avaliable its a great bonus, in term of difficulty this is no dark souls but you will die 1 or 2 times in each session witch is nice, that way I have the sensation of challenge from the game.

    This game is able to seamlessly blend elements from games people are familiar with such as assassins creed and the arkham series with middle earth. This creates a truly unique and interesting experience.
