So, first i will adress the controls which people are really complaning about. I played using an xbox one controller and although it can feel clunky sometimes, it is nowhere near to a point of impacting your gameplay seriously. Worst of worst you will get a little stuck because of the camera switch positions in small areas, and that its it. Also you have to remember it is a interactive movie, so things like that are to be expected in some degree (not that its an excuse). The graphics are beautiful and really realistic, even for today standards. You can easily take some screenshots and think its real life. I remember playing the demo on the PS3 when it came out and how stunned i was, im getting the same reaction as before playing right now. It is really amazing what they achieved with this game regarding the graphics. The characters are great especially Jodie and Nathan (Elliot Page and William Dafoe). They did an almost perfect job in the acting! But even the side characters are really well done, keeping the same level of quality as the main protagonists. About the story i understand that some people may find it confusing since it keeps switching from past to future and vice versa, but now you can play it in the "right" order so thats no longer a problem. For me i think the story was great, very emotional and really outstanding from anything we had at the time, interesting from beggining to the end. It was really innovative and they did an amazing job as well. I just wish we had a sequel since they leave it open in the end. The ending is epic and the future state of the game would be epic as well storywise. Play, you wont regret it
Finished the first time on PS4 and now on GoG. Great game especially for the LOTR fans, having great cutscenes and important characters making an appearance. Combat is very fun and the Nemesis system is a masterpiece. You will spend A LOT of time just looking for the right Orcs and making them duel each other because of how good the system is, so deep and complex that you cant get enough of it. Beautiful and detailed graphics as well The Main story is a bit rushed but good overall, with Talion being a cool character
