The Lord of the Rings trilogy may have come to an end, though the lore of Middle-earth has been revived with the recent Hobbit movies. Games have also been faithfully recreating the fantasy setting, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is the latest one to do so.

Large open world to explore; Responsive battle system

Short single player campaign; Minor slowdown in some parts

" Assassin's Creed in the Lord of the Rings universe " might be the simplest way to regale the Shadow of Mordor experience, but that would seriously undermine the unique nature of the game's more important component -- its enemies.

For those who don't know I have YouTube channel, and we were planning on playing and recording this long before it came out. Our problem was we didn't think it was going to be that good of a game, not to sound like we weren't excited to play it because we were.

Smooth Gameplay; Nemesis System; Combat; Voice Acting; Traversal

A 'Meh' Story; Average Graphics
