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 went into this game without no expectation and it was awesome. It deserved to be game of the year candidate in 2014. The gameplay was a bit different for me but it worked very well. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a console owner.

    Very deserving of game of the year. The combat system is very smooth and even though your character is very powerful, just a few hits and you are dead so the threat of being killed is real. Hours of fun. A must buy.

    I had heard so many good things about this game, i never played it out of pure laziness to go and buy it but let me tell you GO AND BUY THIS GAME! If you're a fan of the Batman Arkham series you will like this game, if you're a fan of LOTR then you will like this game. The gameplay is addicting and I've spent so much time upgrading my character, the bonus about the GOTY edition is that it comes with much more content so you never really get bored. Overall great game, and I'm excited for the next one.

    Being a huge fan of Lord of the Rings to begin with, and the game system used in the Batman: Arkham _____ games, this was a no brainer. The story is solid, controls are tight, and Troy Baker does a fantastic job with the voicework.

    GOTY for a reason

    A fun original adventure in the Lord of the Rings mythology. Uses same engine and combat mechanics as the Arkham series, making it feel similar yet different in its own right (exploring the lands of Mordor and actually hunting down and killing enemies is). This should be on every gamers shelf, it's definitely GOTY for a reason.

    Absolutely fell in love with this game. Played a lot of LotR games in the past and this one blew me away. Stealth, long range, short range, shifting between them. The flow of this game is amazing, highly recommend it to any gamer.

    This is the pinnacle of the LOTR games. I have played the original version on previous gen systems and this edition on the XBOX One and this PS4 game is the best edition of the best LOTR game. Will be hard to top this one.

    Fantastic Story and Game for LotR Fans

    While the game doesn't quite live up to the GotY subtitle, it's still a wonderfully realized take on the LotR universe. Troy Baker kills it as the game's main character looking for revenge on the armies of Sauron. If you're a fan of open worlds with loads of things to do, this will meet or exceed your expectations.

    I have always loved the combat of the Batman Arkham series, from which this game borrows its combat system heavily. But add in the LOTR themes and the bad guy progression system takes it to another level. Excellent title

    Even though it shares many similarities with Batman franchise the game provides it's own experience. After so many failed Lotr titles this game provides an interesting story line. I recommend this to any LOTR fans.

    A little tricky to get used to unless you've played any previous Batman game with counters. Your player is customized with perks such as finishers that'll shorten your fighting time with each mission or boss you conquer.

    I bought this game when it was released. I beat it and promptly sold it afterwards. I immediately regreted that decision. This game is an absolute blast to play. Once it gets under your skin there's no coming back

    The game is great and worth a try. However, it borrows a lot from Assassin's Creed's open world parkour and Batman Arkham series combat. As you play, you'll definitely feel like you've played it before (because, you have).
