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.

    I gave this as a gift to my god-son who hasn't played any of the games in this series yet. He was excited to play!

    The Game of the Year edition is worth the little bit extra to include the worthy DLC. The game is fun, even for those like myself who no nothing of Lord of the Rings or the world it inhabits.

    This is an awesome game! Takes a little bit to get into it because you die a lot in the beginning but was well worth continuing to play. I was a big fan of assassin's creed when it first came out and this has similar game play at it's core but it adds so much on top that it becomes a great stand out. Highly recommended!

    probably one of the best LOTR games made. Even though the DLC is just okay, but great deal to own the complete version

    You fight tons of enemies with a combat system that reminds me of the Arkham games. If you are defeated, the game remembers who took you out and has them come back to challenge you as a mini-boss. Great way to build natural enemies in play.

    If you like Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit then this game is definetly a must. This is an Open World RPG that has a main storyline, along with many various side quests and missions that are optional. Overall this game is awesome and will keep you entertained for quite a while .

    One of the best games I've played. Started off a little slow and basic, actually didn't think I would continue playing. Turned out to pick up after some progress. Love the animations, and the complexity of the game. Reminds me of Assassins Creed, and if you are a LOTR fan you will love this game.

    My son says this is one of his favorite games. He is 14. I'm sure it's inappropriate and violent. I really don't know. He's a good kid and has older brothers that would tell me if he shouldn't be playing it. He had it on PS3 and wanted it for PS4. Must be good if he asked for it a 2nd time.

    Not What I Imagined, But Far Better

    Perhaps I didn't have my expectations as high as I should have, but this game has exceeded them in every possible way. I've played for a total of 12 hours so far, and I've only completed 10% of the story. Though the main quest may not take very long, if my game progress is anything to go by, there is obviously plenty to do in Mordor. The stealth is probably the most enjoyable factor for me. I love how you never run out of enemies. You can clear an entire area of Uruk, only to have another hoard walk by seconds later. There is always chaos around you (in a tasteful way) - Uruks fighting each other, trolls rampaging, caragors invading enemy camps causing hysteria that works to your benefit, etc. If anything would take away a star from my rating, it would probably be the story. Not the best I've seen. Not bad, just maybe mediocre. Still, I love the game too much to take away from the rating for that. Excellent excellent game. Highly recommended! Also, thanks Best Buy! Got this for an extremely low price for a limited-time-only sale.

    Graphics are great. Combat is fun but gets a little repetitive. I've been playing for several hours now and as far as I can tell there's no real plot to the game. I just kind of run around a semi open world randomly getting into fights. Fun game but I don't know if all the surrounding hype was deserved.

    If you enjoyed Arkham Knight and enjoy the LotR films, you'll enjoy this title. The combat is ripped right out of the Arkham games, with several smart improvements and tweaks made to the formula. The world is a faithful recreation of middle earth. Gameplay is fun, narrative is engaging. Recommended.
