User Reviews
- Shadow of Mordor is a phenomenal action RPG. The Nemesis System is truly groundbreaking and ensures every playthrough feels fresh and personal. Essential Middle-earth gaming!
- The combat flow is smooth and satisfying, borrowing the best elements of other action titles while elevating the stealth and execution mechanics. GOTY content adds massive replay value.
- Being able to manipulate the Uruk hierarchy is brilliant. Seeing a Captain I failed to kill return stronger and taunt me is a level of immersion I haven't seen before.
- A true benchmark for open-world design. The synergy between Talion and Celebrimbor makes for deeply engaging gameplay mechanics. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.
- Best action game set in Middle-earth to date. The story is compelling, but the real star is the dynamic interaction with the enemies. A masterpiece of emergent gameplay.
