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.

    Fun button masher

    I really enjoyed this game. It was a fun button masher with not much strategy needed. I really liked how the enemy uruks gain rank when they kill you and they become harder to kill the next time you fight them. Whenever you find a captain or warchief they always have some comment to make about the last time you fought them. I enjoyed the way the game is set up, you can go do story missions, or side missions whenever you want. they have all of the items labeled on the map. You just mark the quest you want to do and it'll show up in the world view and show you how far you are from the start point of that quest. You just go there and start the quest, if you didn't play the game for a month, you could pick it up and continue without having to remember where you needed to go or what you need to do. If you like a god of war style button masher, then you'll probably enjoy this game.

    This was the first game I played on my PS4 . I had bought 3 others at the same time, but I got so engrossed in this one that I didn't even load the others for several weeks. The grapics are great and the story line is awesome. Multiple refernces to the books are included (some more obsucre than others). the combat system is easy to learn and play. I read that there is goind to be another Middle Earth game out soon, and I can't wait. There is some kind of graphic violence, so not suitable for the younger crowd.

    This is one of the best games out there for a current gen console. The nemesis system in the game is revolutionary and makes the game so interesting and addictive. This game definitely deserved a Game Of The Year edition.

    Fun story if you are into the LOTR series and the Nemesis feature they created for the game makes it feel more personal. Overall a great game.

    Nemesis system is a great mechanic

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The nemesis system is surprisingly satisfying since I had some Orcs that killed me repeatedly and saw them rise up the ranks. When I finally did bring them down it was much more gratifying than killing your average leader. Combat will probably feel familiar if you've played any of the Batman Arkham games which I like. Upgrades make changing your play style lots of fun as you can either go in shooting up the place with arrows or stealth your way though enemy encampments. It's also updated for the PS4 Pro as an added bonus.

    Very Surprisingly Good Game

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I expected this title to be mediocre but after playing through it I was left very surprised. The game is pretty much an Assassin Creeds game with a LOTR skin but one thing that makes it different is the setting and the excellent rivalry system. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would recommend to anyone

    My son was so excited to get this game. He had the original game but wanted the Game of the Year edition in order to do more maps, more adventures. Best Buy had the best price and we could not help but purchase this.

    Excellent, excellent game. It was named GOTY by many online sites and with good reason. Only knock is that it's short, but otherwise outstanding.

    Great title that only gets better

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    What can I say about this title. I got the original on PS4, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Take the fighting style found in the Batman Arkham series with a story set within the LOTR universe just prior to the trilogy with surprises along the way. This game has not only the original title, but also all of the DLC. The only way it could have been better is if your old save file would get converted over. However, if you take on every quest and side-quest, you are looking at easily a 60+ hour game. Easily worth the price of admission!
