Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor review
Skip
by Keravanjoki

This game is a bunch of bad decisions. The Arkham Asylum type fighting system makes the gameplay look like a dynamic QTA thing without any choice. It’s ridiculous that the enemies always (like, ALWAYS) attack you one by one while the rest of them are watching your fight. The game is too easy and even if you lose a fight (you must literally drop the controller to lose here), you won’t die - you just get up and run, and, well, you’re safe. Even the graphics are not that good now when we have so much better things on the market, so don’t waste your time here.

Superb Combat.

I expected more from this game, but honestly I felt like I was on any map with touches of the Lord of the Rings. The nemesis and substitution system really tired me out. Yes, there is a challenge and room to improve your skill and strategy, i wish i could recommended  to much better games 
Very fun. Too similar to Assassin's Creed mechanics.
A great time. Screw WB for patenting the Nemesis system

This is how you make a good assassins creed game ubisoft 8/10. 
Hey, Warner Brothers, you got a bunch of properties, right? and a pretty successful track record making games, right? So, let's talk about other games where you could implement the nemesis system.
A solid mix of gameplay styled oeppered with a really good invention in the Nemesis system
Solid experience. Very fun building up armies of mind controlled orcs. Combat was fun although I remember this game being a bit too easy. I didn’t care about the story. The second builds upon this game and improves it in many ways but this one was still a solid experience.

Final Score: A-
