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.

    Extremely challenging but not too long. A well balanced RPG with a robust, demanding combat style. Smart AI makes for engaging battle experiences.

    I would recommend this game to ANY LOTR fan, it is simply the best game of its series and doesn't get old. I had the original and just purchased the GOTY version for all the extras which came out after the original game.

    Don't be fooled by this game. While it may seem like a cashgrab at a beloved franchise, this is actually a well crafted and surprisingly fun title that fanboys and new fans alike can appreciate. It has very unique gameplay and also a very polished combat system that will keep you entertained all the way through. For $20 and under it is basically a steal.

    I appreciated this game not really for its lore but moreso of the gameplay that it implements. A fresh take on combat that leaves you feeling satisfied. The goty edition for under $20 with GCU made my purchase easy!

    at first the game wasn't that good, it's pretty hard at the beginning, but once you get more abilities it's very fun and has some good humor in it.

    Overall, its really a good game. But, after a good while, it seemed a little too repetitive. The challenge factor is actually pretty good. The game is not as easy as it seems at times, but overall, its still a fun game!

    Basically an Orc killing simulator, but the revenge system is really fun, graphics are killer, and combat is always entertaining. Recommend!

    If you like Lord of the Rings or Assassin's Creed then you will like this. This game is everything Assassin's Creed wishes it could be. The dlc is included too so if that's your thing then this is a no brainer.

    I will say this is one of excellent games I have played in past couple years. With GOTY edition, you get all the DLC which is good deal.

    Shadows of Mordor is a great open world game, if you like games similar to Assassin's Creed combined with Witcher this is a good pick.

    This game is comparable in combat to batman if you like that game. This one is more mature in nature, but it's more fun. Great game.

    this is still one of the best games to ever made for a console. Everything from storyline to the combat to the open World Is Awesome. The sequel to this game is do out later this year and I can't wait. The only news that would be better is that they are making a movie based on this game to make up for the garbage hobbit movies.
