![]() ![]() ![]() Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an open-world third-person action game set between the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings story arcs. If you have any questions, please post a comment below or tweet your question to About Shadow of Mordor Shadow of Mordor has deep gameplay architecture, so there’s only so much I can cover in this review. That said, Shadow of Mordor forges its own identity that’s separate from LotR and The Hobbit, making for an authentic, rewarding experience. The visual presentation is not as inspirational as the Peter Jackson films and there are a few shortcomings in the gameplay & mechanics. Where it pushes the genre and adds depth, creativity, and satisfaction is in its dynamic “Nemesis AI” ranking system. While Shadow of Mordor sticks to the core mechanics of action combat, it presents enough open-world variety to keep action as fresh as any other game in its genre. This is a clear advancement in the handful of Tolkien-inspired action games. The hierarchy is ever-changing and offers the player opportunities to influence it, and so the player’s perception of the battlefield is never the same. Shadow of Mordor creates a new world of personality and dynamic interactions among its hierarchy of Uruks (or orcs), ranging from the footsoldiers carrying intel to the higher-ranking Captains and Warchiefs. That’s because it offers two perspectives to the story instead of just focusing on the human-elf alliance.
