I will NEVER forgive Warner Bros. for owning the patent to the Nemesis system and then never doing anything with it ever again beyond these games. Absolutely phenomenal games that I can't recommend enough!

Feb. 2025

Thank you Monolith for two of the most amazing games I've ever played. It's truly sad that Monolith is shutting down, I wish we had more Middle Earth or LOTR games from you guys. If anyone haven't play these two Middle Earth games, you must try. They are AMAZING.

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 [*] Graphics : Despite the dark atmosphere, the graphics might seem a bit outdated compared to more modern games.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!

May 2024

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.
