There are better The Lord of the Rings games out there, but I never had as much fun with any of them as I did with Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. Shadow of Mordor plays like a mix of various other games. Assassin's Creed, Far Cry (movement, stealth) and Batman (combat) send their regards. Especially the free-flow-style fights play smoothly and are fun. The finishers are great and it is very satisfying to cause a real bloodbath among the Orcs/Uruks. Furthermore, the story, the soundtrack and the atmosphere fit wonderfully into Tolkien's universe. But what really makes this game unique is the Nemesis system. In addition to the normal Orcs/Uruks you fight, there are captains and warchiefs. These are randomly generated, look different, have their own name and individual strengths and weaknesses. There is a hierarchy among them. They engage in competitive battles and other activities to increase their power and climb the ladder. And we can intervene in this power structure and influence it with our activities or non-activities. And not only that. We can also control them and then send our own Orc/Uruk into the race. This system isn't perfect, of course, but I found it very entertaining to add my own touch to the whole tussle. I would definitely recommend Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ is like "The Lord of the Rings" on steroids, where you play as a ranger brought back from the dead to kick orcs left and right! Imagine this: dark Mordor, orcs, goblins, magic, and you as the main hero in this epic adventure. Ready to battle for Middle-earth? Let’s go! Pros: [*] Nemesis System : It's simply genius! Enemies remember you, climb the ranks if you don't kill them, and come back for revenge. [*] Combat System : Dynamic and spectacular battles where you can use a sword, bow, and magic to destroy orcs in various combinations. [*] Open World : Explore the sinister and detailed Mordor, finding hidden caches, artifacts, and completing a variety of quests. [*] Storyline : An interesting story of revenge and the fight against Sauron, featuring familiar characters from "The Lord of the Rings." [*] Character Development : Upgrade your skills and weapons to become even more powerful and effective in battle. Cons: [*] Repetitiveness : Some missions and tasks can become repetitive over time, especially if you’ve been killing orcs for a while. [*] Graphics : Despite the dark atmosphere, the graphics might seem a bit outdated compared to more modern games. [*] Monotonous Enemies : Most of the enemies are orcs, and their lack of variety might become tiresome. [*] Controls : Sometimes the controls can be less than convenient, especially in complex fights. [*] Dark Atmosphere : Not all players might enjoy the constant darkness and grimness of Mordor. Overall , "Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™" is an exciting adventure where you can feel like a true warrior of Middle-earth, fighting orcs and completing epic quests. Despite some shortcomings, the game offers a lot of thrilling moments and a chance to enjoy the "Lord of the Rings" universe in a new format. So grab your sword and get ready for adventures in Mordor!

Killed an orc, he came back with metal riveted to half of his face, killed him again and he came back with a torch embedded in his skull and immunity to fear, fire, and instant-death. Is it a good entry into the Lord of the Rings? No. Tolkien is probably spinning in his grave. Is it mountains of fun? Absolutely bucketloads of fun. Assassin Creed: Mordor is my favorite Assassin's Creed game.
