Nothing else made you feel like a BAMF than when you take on a horde of orcs and leave a pile of bloody corpses and command a small orc contingent from wraith branding. It essentially plays like Assassin's Creed, but the wraith abilities introduce a whole new dynamic. The combat is where this game really shines. That said, the system seems like it can be expanded, and I certainly hope we get to see increased depth with the next installment. It was also served a useful purpose in understanding who was under control of whom and to see your network of allied commanders.
It was satisfying to see the chain of command change in response to your killing of enemies or dying at their hands. This is really useful in the beginning of the game, but as you power up, it outlives its usefulness because you essentially become a one man army. You were able to do research on your enemies, and then using those to your advantage in order to beat them.
I found the system to be unique and adding a good dimension to the game play, as it turned what could have been just an elegant hack 'n slash into a strategic game. The nemesis system was really a big selling point and it is quite interesting. You are only equipped with a bow, long sword and "dagger", but the wraith abilities and weapons upgrades keep things fresh. It really is very fun to watch your character turn into an absolute orc killing machine, and the number of abilities keep it interesting. The linear storyline is quite compelling and it is interesting and compelling to advance the story, complete missions and level up your character and abilities. Sounds and aesthetics are also very good. Luckily as you advance the story you are able to unlock other maps that look different but offer otherwise the same things: orcs, wild beasts and ruins/fortifications. It seems quite large at the beginning, but by the end seems a little small. It is not bad unless you get a close up look at characters. It is fairly obvious that this was made with the last generation in mind and not much effort was made in updating the graphics for PS4. The environment is interesting with its background and structures and ruins look good. A lot of effort was put into the voices and appearance of the captains and leaders and it shows. The enemies are varied in appearance and as interesting to look at as they are repulsive (in a good way). As such, I was very pleasantly surprised by this game, and enjoyed it a lot.

Shadow of Mordor was a gift that I received and I had no preconceived notions. And come on, who wouldn't love an adventure with a Ranger of Gondor and Celebrimbor the Ring Forger himself? … Expand All in all, if the developer wonders whether they should make a sequel(s), I'd say go for it but with a better and longer story, perhaps in the Second Age, which is largely left untouched in the films and previous games. Everything looks well polished and beautiful, and what's even greater: the game is almost bug-free to my experience though there some nuisances with turning on and off certain graphics options would slow down the game mysteriously, which I hope would be patched soon. The Nemesis system makes the world organic and alive: who would have thought that you would really want so much to exact your revenge on a particular Uruk - with a name and rank? And the world progresses naturally, especially everytime you die. The animation is fluid, the RPG-like system is really simple but it works really well since the main part of the game is combat. I've play all three Batman: Arkham games and I gotta say, incorporating THAT combat system into this game is freaking awesome! Always wanna build up the chain and get some sweet uruk executions. This game's story is quite short and maybe dull at times to me but everything else is really fun to just try and play. This game's story is quite short and I've been waited for a good LOTR game ever since LOTR: BFME II and I've not been disappointed in 2014.
