Oct 3, 2014This game is simply outstanding. It has many elements of Assassin's Creed, Batman games, Prototype, with an interesting Middle-Earth twist and an interesting boss system. The non-quest activities are also a blast. The game has AAA production values and has been great fun so far.
Highly recommended! -

Sep 30, 2014Absolutely fenomenal !! Benn playing for 10 hours straight - haven't found a thing that would turn me off. Very happy i pre ordered it. After playing it i went straight and bought the Season Pass DLC boundle.
I play using the Logitech F710 gamepad and i would advise any PC gamer getting this to also play using a gamepad.
To sum up worth getting - hope they make a franchise out of it ! -

Dec 16, 2014This game takes cool things from other games and then add the nemesis system which is mind-blowing. Such an addictive experience... things always get personal. If GTA had this nemesis system.... oh my! Fantastic game, original in some respects!

Oct 6, 2014A must have for the fans of the LOTR series who also happen to love both Assassin's Creed & Batman: Arkham series. Well, if you like neither of them, don't even bother.

Oct 1, 2014Giving this a 10 to help balance out from the people who don't know how to do reviews. This game is a solid 8.5 and for a first entry by a company all I can say is bravo. This genre is not my thing and yet I have had an amazing time playing this game and have even purchased a season pass as I am excited to see where they take this. Try it for your self and make up your own mind.

Oct 4, 2014Superb PC port. Great game design, graphics and audio. I recommend using a controller. The NEMESIS system is very innovative. I can see future games copying this design.
Monolith start writing the acceptance speech for "GAME OF THE YEAR"!!! -

Aug 29, 2016Pure fun. Although the ending is definitively not ideal, the main bulk of the game is extremely entertaining, if not entirely refined. Well optimized for play on PC, a must buy for any gamer interested in action RPGs.

Oct 2, 2014Game is like a combination of Batman AC meets Lords of the Rings and it just works very well. The atmosphere and vibe of Mordor is captured perfectly and while not cannon, it still feels very much like LOTR.
Gameplay mechanics are tight and combat is incredibly satisfying. If you're a fan of LOTR and Batman games, you need to play this game. -

Jan 20, 2015Tudo é magnífico e bem feito. Um excelente game! As cenas de combate são épicas e extremamente violentas. A trilha sonora é impecável e original. A Warner Bros superou-se!

Dec 3, 2014This game is insanely good much,much better than I thought it would be.The graphics are the best I have ever seen.The feeling you get when you kill an orc at this game is pure ecstasy.I believe that Shadow of Mordor is the clear winner for the title of 2014 best game.If you dont play it I pity you mortals.

PC PowerPlayNov 1, 2014Solid action wrapped in a fascinating simulated Orc society. [Nov 2014, p.52]

Game World Navigator MagazineOct 25, 2014After you get used to the world of Shadow of Mordor understanding comes: there is nothing to do in it. Chieftains – pretty serious opponents at first – in the end due to the lame balance become the whipping boys. Storyline is buried under muddy reasoning about rings, elves and dark lord. As a result you like the Shadow of Mordor gameplay but you do not want to go to the finish. [Nov 2014, p.64]

Oct 19, 2014Only thanks to the Nemesis system stinky orcs from Peter Jackson’s movies rise above being cannon fodder and turn into actual characters. If this cool system weren’t here, no one would have looked twice at this hybrid clone of Batman: Arkham City and Assassin’s Creed.
