    The idea of letting us play the legendary Celebrimbor was a great one, that probably deserved a better treatment (maybe even a complete game), rather than a flimsy and pretty short DLC.

Like the first one, the events of this DLC take place after the main game, so be sure to finish it first before playing.)

    In The Bright Lord, you play as Celebrimbor back when he was still alive and fighting Sauron. You learn about his backstory in a different perspective and a lot of details are revealed. Unlike the main game and Lord of the Hunt, The Bright Lord is focused more on story, with the Warchief hunting revolving around it (instead of being the sole focus). The gameplay mechanics are similar and most upgrades are unlocked. The enemies are significantly harder than before, forcing you to play smarter and less Rambo. There is also a strong emphasis on stealth and enemy branding.

    I enjoyed this DLC because of its fresh story and difficult combat, even if was just a rehash. Like the first DLC, it wasn't that lengthy, although some boss fights were tedious. The final boss fight dragged on longer than it should've but it's not a big deal. The cheesy dialogue from Celebrimbor could've been improved as well. Overall, I would say that for a DLC, it warrants an 8 from me.    … Expand

Most of it is the same old process of slaying Uruk and dominating Warchiefs (albeit with some modified and some additional mechanics, including a lot more branding), intertwined with really lame verbal back-and-forths between Celebrimbor and Sauron. The final boss fights were also rather underwhelming. It's a shame this period was not explored with a bit more depth!… Expand

    Añade opciones de controlar Uruks armando un ejercito propio. "Conquistar" y Mordor con esta opción.

    Es entretenido (aunque corto, rondando 2 horas) pero se puede palpar como este es el predecesor de la nueva entrega (Sombras de guerra), ya que contiene varias de las ideas que parecen encontrarse en esa.

    Recomendado para los que quieren saber un poco más de la historia y a los que les gusto el juego base.    … Expand

I mean this DLC shows off the same qualities as the the main game, but also sadly suffers from the same flaws. We play as Celebrimbor who has few new and different skills than Talion. His story is interesting but the missions (and even the side quests!) are really disappointing and repetitive. The content is interesting but way too short. The map is just the same. I won't spoil the end but it was as underwhelming as the end of the main campaign. Plus you fight one of the deadliest opponents in one versus one... This doesn't make much sense. In the end the new mechanics allow you to become something no far from a semi-god and you can defeat the most powerful enemies in few strikes by spamming 'F' button over and over.… Expand
