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

Pros: -Combat; arkham like, easy and adaptable. -Movement; like a river the hobbit flows. -Fast travel; not needed but cool. -Nemesis sistem; interesting addition. -Got it for free. -Skins; yay. -Gollum; Yay. -Celebrimor; Let's go Boysss! -Mordor; You got me by the balls bro. -Elf powers/Ring Realm; I am sold. -Cool story? I am in. -Can run on my potatoe; what the hell bro, I'll buy the deluxe. Optimization is the best I've seen yet alongside the Tomb Raider Saga. You've got a potatoe? buy it. You get two games in one; Arkham X Orcs X Ac. -Runes: played witcher? you get the idea. Cons; -Can get boring; easily, I mean it. -Fast travel is useless; Walk man walk, they are trying to get you... -Mordor is boring; which goes according to the lore so nothing on that one. Well yea, actually yea. Exhibit E. -Use of nostalgia to hide flaws; -Exhibit A; enemies are super easy to kill. You played Arkham? You already played this. -Exhibit B; Arkham X AC re-skin. -Exhibit C; Powers are cool but most of the times... useless. Stealth kill this, stealth kill that, don't fuck up your combo, boom you are done. And if you mess up is either the nerves or you are not used to the game yet. -Exibhit D; Mordor is boring, period. Which having the amount of lore you have is not cool man. Which leads to; -Exhibit E; same enemy a thousand times, orcs? we have them, trolls? we have them, ghouls? we have them, no kill'em a thousand times and move to the next mission. Same issue as Batman and Spider-Man 2018... what do you know? -Exhibit F; Weapons, most useless period. Bow and sword, you are done. -Exhibit G: Goddam towers like Far Cry. So what the five stars? I enjoyed it despite of how luckluster it is, truth is it should be one. But since I can't play many games on my potatoe it gets five. Shout out to the devs for that. Great Optimization, period. And good game, overall and in my humble opinion. Is Tolkien, more or less, so I am in.

So frigging good. it was niceee but the number 2 was better. Still this shadow of mordor was just crazy when it came out. sooo good. hope the 2nd one come and hope we get a 3rd one too.

This might be the most underrated game of the last 10 years if not more, together with shadow of war. The nemesis system is so unique and gives you a lot of replay value. The story is entirely a fan fiction, but the whole game makes you let it slide. Big recommendation for this game

Great gameplay, fun comobat, the depth at which you can interact with the Uruk in the game makes you feel like you are actually making a difference in Mordor. The game almost plays like a dialed down hack-and-slash. If I were to nitpick, I would say that the graphics hadn't aged well, difficulty between bosses varied too much, and the skill tree was mediocre. Though these things hardly were a bother. Otherwise, a fantastic adventure; I beat the game in three sittings. I already want to play the next one and I just finished this one!

too many clunky game mechanics clogging up the place, not engaging storyline.
