Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ Game of the Year Edition

This game borrowed open world design from Ubisoft and combat from Arkham series. This combination (with nemesis system) makes it a very enjoyable experience. Yes, it's basically orc killing simulator, but you get to play with Mordor's hierarchy. Add some neat wraith powers and you're in for the treat.

Quite old yet heavy on my storage although that wasn't what turned me off. The game, or rather, the MC Talion, doesn't control well, he's supposed to be a swift ranger with magically enhanced speed yet I feel like I'm controlling a tank even if the animations are all flashy. Game and combat look really fun it's just not fun to play. +Settings and controls are clearly designed for consoles with limited options.

It’s a generic open world game with a barebones plot that’s just unenjoyable to play. On first glance the combat resembles the Batman Arkham series, but the feeling is entirely different: simply put, it’s bad. The camera wobbles on every sword thrust and it’s located too close to the player character so not all enemies are visible, which is annoying. The map is littered with side quest markers, where you fight against hordes of orcs but this gets old very fast. Story missions seem to be located map width apart from each other, and you can only traverse on the ground, which is incredibly slow and tries your patience. The player character has a ridiculous running animation which is just painful to watch and experience. This tedium, along with the ugly environments simply discouraged me from playing any further.

One of the great ones, full upgrade system, great story, people complain about the bosses in the main story but miss out on the fact that the story is the point and that the difficulty is correct.
