    Playing it in 2020 is not as good as it was 6 years ago when the game was released. I found some bugs during missions and some in walls glitches as well but this bugs didn’t ruin my experience at all. I started it Monday the 27th of July and finished it on Friday the 31st of July with a Platinum Trophy. It was fun, I reccomend you to play it. Smash some uruks ;)

    This game should've been GOTY , the combat is great due the fact its the same engine as Batman Arkham. The nemesis system is perfect and the story is marvelous, a must play for LOTR fans.

    So what if we take the Lord of the Rings, mix it with the Batman Arkham series and Assassins Creed? Apparently, a tasty drink called Shadow of Mordor!

    The game uses the nemesis system to pit Orcs against you in hierarchy, but also uses it to make these Orcs more personal. If one kills you it gets promoted and remembers you. You'll form personal vendetta's with them as they get stronger,    So what if we take the Lord of the Rings, mix it with the Batman Arkham series and Assassins Creed?

You'll form personal vendetta's with them as they get stronger, and even get to control your own! The most fun is definetely in hunting a targeted Orc and then clashing with him in an epic fight.

    The story is pretty bland, though with a very daring and cool twist at the end. The protagonist is a wraith, which means he can't die. This serves the system of the game great, but he as a character is pretty average. This can also be said for other characters that are human as they are all rip-offs from the movies.

    I picked this game up for 12 euros, and it was so much fun. I can recommend this game. I give it an 8/10.    … Expand

    Plays like LoTR with the combat mechanics of Batman Arkham city. Fantastic game! Great upgrade system, storyline, everything. Totally defied expectations and it leaves plenty of side quests and other things discover for when you beat the main story Andy are ready for more.

    This game could reasonably be called (and I say this with the highest of compliments) "Batman: Assassin's Creed."

    It combines all the elements that made the Arkham series and the Ezio saga in AC and blends it into the world of J.R.R. Tolkien. Of course, the game is 6 years old as I write this, so I'm late to the party and am almost certainly reporting nothing new.

Of course, the game is 6 years old as I write this, so I'm late to the party and am almost certainly reporting nothing new. It also represents an unfortunately dying era of actioners that have the standard difficulty level right where it should be, and where leveling up doing side quests actually gives you advantages when you finally go after boss-level opponents.
    Leveling up might be a shade too quick, but better than the alternative.

    The sound design is wonderful, and stands out by far over other technical aspects. Using sound from your standard TV speakers AND the PS4 controller (weapons clashing, ethereal dreamlike voices, and even the announcement of the Uruk Captains you identify with Detective Mode...er...I mean...Eagle Vision...no...darnit, I mean in Wraith World) really aids to immerse you in the game.

    You may know Troy Baker on TV as "The Mentalist," but he is a fine voice actor - not just in this game as Talion, but in general. He is off-set perfectly by his long-dead counterpart Celebrimbor (an elf with a dwarven-sounding name, IMO) played by Alastair Duncan. The sound team also did its best to vary the voices of the various captains and warchiefs, but you could start to separate which voice actor was which after awhile. But what can you do when the enemies are literally infinite?

    The graphics and animation are fine, but even though Mordor is a ruin, there wasn't a lot of imagination in level design. The two maps you play (I'm not including the one-off "Tower" mission toward the finale) are featureless with a couple of walls here and a hill or two there, though the second map is slightly better.

    The game mechanics are largely solid, with free flow combat right on par with the Arkham series (including the frustration of Talion not going at the right target in a large melee) and the climbing/assassinating mechanics that AC fans love (including the occasional "Up! Up! Up!" when you're climing...or at least trying to - I shouted that MANY times during this game). Still, there's something satisfying about being in the middle of a melee, then Shadow Striking your way to a vantage point high above the action to rain arrows down.

    Everyone else mentions the Nemesis system, so I will, too. It's a clever mechanic where uruks who kill you get promoted to captain and can work their way up to warchief. It sets up revenge matchups and power struggles that you can determine the outcome. The real fun begins when you start to be able to dominate them (kind of like magical brainwashing) and make them your followers.

    However, it can get under your skin a bit when you're battling one captain and his goons when ANOTHER captain shows up out of the blue with his followers...and then sometimes a third, or even a fourth. That's a melee, but it's one you don't want because all these captains, while they have their weaknesses, have several more strengths and things they're immune to.

    Several missions have a bonus objective, most of which are do-able on a first go (this is a POSITIVE thing, folks), but you have to pay attention. Still, the game doesn't penalize you for missing it. Just as well, because I don't think you can replay the missions in-game.

    I started the Great Hunt DLC, but only got about 33% of the way through it. I just wasn't into the missions. I didn't start The Bright Master DLC, so I can't say anything about it.    … Expand

    Lo bueno: - Gameplay muy directo e intuitivo con mucha acción. - El momento en el que se sitúa la historia llama la atención, pues no es algo en lo que se haya profundizado demasiado.

    - El juego cuenta con coleccionables y misiones secundarias para alargar el juego que siempre son de agradecer.

    Lo malo:
    - La forma de contar la historia es algo desordenada y no es la mejor del mundo.
    - Se toman ciertas licencias con respecto a la historia de Celebrimbor, algo que no puedo aplaudir.
    - Fallos típicos de los assassin's creed, como cuando quieres golpear a un enemigo pero golpea a otro, quieres correr pero se para en seco delante de una cajita, quieres trepar por un lado pero no lo hace, etc.
    - Se puede volver algo repetitivo si lo quieres conseguir todo.    … Expand

    Короче говоря разработчик создал свой Assassin’s Creed в Средиземье. И он у него, как мне кажется, получился.
    Мне очень понравился сюжет, он самобытный и никакого отношения к книгам Толкина не имеет. Но как не странно, он очень хорошо вплетен в канву произведения и я думаю со временем станет каноном. Сюжет цельный, имеет завязку, кульминацию и развязку.
    Выглядит игра превосходно. Я пробовал её и на XBox360, так вот там играть нельзя, запрещено категорически! Мир разнообразен, хорошо прорисован. Все орки выглядят по разному, а их на минуточку тысячи! Не плохой стелс, не плохой паркур, боёвка взята прямиком из Batman: Arkham Asylum. Карта местности.....да короче это как я уже писал Assassin’s Creed Unity в Средиземье.
    В игре не плохие боссы, каждый со своим подходом. Даже рядовые "капитаны" орочьей армии имеют свои сильные и слабые места.
    Так же мне очень понравилась прокачка, она не замутнённая и доходчивая.
    Но самое главное это атмосфера самой игры, она очень подходит самому произведению.
    Конечно есть и недостатки. Например эти пафосные диалоги капитанов которые нельзя пропустить или отменить. По началу это забавляет, но по мере прохождения, когда этих капитанов становится как грибов, начинает бесить. Так, к примеру, ты сражаешся и уже набрал высокий множитель, как вдруг появляется какой то капитан (хорошо если один), бой приостанавливается, он начинает вещать всякую хрень и всё, множитель слетел, ты потерялся в бою, хорошо если не убили.
    Так же в игре какое то чумовое автонавидение как в паркуре, так и в бою. Иногда Талион тварит какое то непотребство, прыгает не туда куда надо и атакует сам по себе кого хочет.
    Конечно мне не хватало русской озвучки, пафосных речей в игре очень много.
    Всё это мелочи, но они иногда просто начинают бесить.
    К сожалению в сиквеле всё это только усугубилось.
    Короче играть на PlayStation 4 мне очень понравилось. Жаль только, что в Shadow of War всё хорошее, что было в оригинале спустили в унитаз ради заработка на лутбоксах. И хотя через год их отменили, положения это не исправило. Сиквел остался с дырявым сюжетом, да ещё умудрился пойти в разрез с книгами Толкина.    … Expand

    Shadow of Mordor scratches the exact same itch that all the Arkham games do. The story is acceptable, voice acting is fine, and the plot itself is mostly sound. For these kinds of games, though, that doesn't really matter; play for the combat and mood, because that is where this game is strongest.

Ya había habido juegos"Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor", alias "Sombras de Mordor " es un videojuego ambientado en la tierra media y centrado en una ubicación legendaria como es la "Puerta Negra" y sus alrededores. Como ya he dicho la ambientación tiene como punto de partida el mundo de Tolkien pero los desarrolladores han conseguido una visión particular, única, con cierta libertad. Ya había habido juegos ambientados en la tierra media pero nunca con tanto realismo y calidad.
    La calidad gráfica es muy buena para ser un juego de 2014. En general las texturas, el entorno y los enemigos están muy bien logrados. Por esto es que el juego hace hincapié en detallar a las huestes orcas, en especial en crear Capitanes Orco únicos unos de otros, con diferentes aspectos, tamaños, habilidades y voces. La inteligencia artificial entonces podemos decir que extremadamente buena, con un sistema nuevo, el llamado "Sistema Némesis", el cual da "memoria" a los enemigos y de esta identidad personal. Así, por ejemplo, si no logramos derrotar a un enemigo orco anónimo este se convertirá en Capitán y nos recordará en un futuro enfrentamiento nuestra patética muerte, se burlará de nosotros. La IA también desempeña otras funciones, pueden realizar emboscadas, pueden "desafiar a la muerte" o resucitar de una supuesta muerte.
    La historia es otro punto fuerte de este juego. Controlamos a Talion, un montaraz y guardián de Mordor que tras el asesinato de su familia a manos de los orcos decide vengarse y dar caza a los secuaces de Sauron. Lo más curioso es que Talion también parece morir al principio del juego pero decide "burlar a la muerte" gracias al espíritu de un antiguo elfo poderoso, Celebrimbor, forjador de los anillos de poder. Así la aventura estará cargada de combates espectaculares contra orcos y otras bestias fantásticas y el objetivo de venganza estará presente casi toda la partida. Aún así la trama es más intrincada de lo que parece y cada jugador debería valorarla una vez concluida.
    El combate como ya he dicho es espectacular, combinado con habilidades comprables que incrementan la fuerza del personaje para así realizar movimientos más rápidos o ejecuciones brutales, las cuales hacen saltar la negra sangre de los orcos. El espíritu de Celebrimbor nos brinda una velocidad y agilidad espectrales y un sistema de arco muy épico.
    Sin duda se trata del mejor juego ambientado en la tierra media y un juego muy notable de la década pasada. Combate e historias fabulosas, una IA muy elaborada y un mundo detallado hacen de esta entrega uno de mis juegos favoritos.    … Expand

    For people who are alright with playing fifteen hours or so of Helm’s Deep-style carnage, Shadow of Mordor is a delight – and even for people who couldn’t care less about Lord of the Rings, the exciting combat and unique Nemesis System are more than enough to make the experience worthwhile.

Its greatest sin though is the fact that it fails to vary gameplay the way Assassin’s Creed or Batman do and offers almost nothing apart from killing stuff and playing with the Nemesis system (which, I admit, has its moments). I got so tired with its repetitiveness that I wouldn’t have finished the game if I didn’t have to. [Dec 2014, p.48]
