    A game worthy of the LOTR franchise

    By crazynotstupid | Review Date: Apr 15, 2016 | PC

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a great looking action RPG game that does some justice to its great franchise. It's a game that uses some very clever game mechanics to keep the challenge fresh. Even now, one and a half... Read Full Review

    Combat mechanics are fluid. Does a good depiction of the LOTR world. The level designs are very repetitive.

    You play as Talion (Main Character), who traverses the Middle Earth for revenge against the Black Hand of Sauron for killing your family. Mostly its go here & kill there type of game. But what makes it interesting is... Read Full Review

    A darn good action game that borrows heavily from the Batman Arkham series but is all the better for it.

    By dzimm | Review Date: Oct 26, 2015 | LNX

    You could be forgiven for calling this game Arkham: Middle Earth. It has so much in common with Rocksteady's Batman games that you would swear that protagonist Talion is a distant relative of Bruce Wayne. The combat cont... Read Full Review

    And one does not simply make a middle-Earth video game review without a "one does not simply" reference...The Good:Good Story; while it tells its own story with its own original character, the story connects with the res... Read Full Review

    But the Spirit of Sauron endured.

    By ketty_basic | Review Date: Aug 09, 2015 | XONE

    I purchased this title on Steam GOTY edition and was cautiously hopeful that it might be worth the expense. I've been around video games for thirty years and I will admit to being a little jaded. There are many games I... Read Full Review

    One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor.

    By allicrombie | Review Date: Jul 05, 2015 | PS4

    The works of J.R.R Tolkien have continued to enthrall, inspire, enchant, and beguile a number of readers, since the first book of his best-known series, Lord of the Rings, was published back in 1954. Since then, his wor... Read Full Review
