![]() ![]() The game is centered around the rigid power structure of the orc world: in order to get to one of the war chief's bodyguards, you'll first need to find a low-level captain and squeeze him for intel. In order to get to Sauron you first need to take down his war chiefs, and in order to get to them you'll need to kill lower-level orcs like captains and bodyguards. Shadow of Mordor's tale of revenge is really a chance to delve into the world of orc society. The main storyline is mildly interesting, but the best thing it does is simply get out of the way. Imbued with fancy new ghost powers - like the ability to see bad guys through walls or slow down time for the perfect bow-and-arrow headshot - Talion ventures into Mordor to get his revenge on Sauron and his legion of angry orcs. The twist is that they kill him too, only instead of dying completely he finds himself trapped in a sort of undead limbo, where he meets a helpful ghost-like creature called a wraith who bonds with him and brings Talion back to the land of the living. The game stars Talion, a ranger who is forced to watch as orcs kill both his wife and son at the beginning of the game. You can mount a beast and cruise around looking for stuff to doĪnd, like seemingly all action games, you play as a man out to avenge a woman. It also takes place in a dynamic, open-world version of Mordor, so you can mount a beast and cruise around looking for stuff to do, like a fantasy version of Grand Theft Auto. ![]() It also features just about everything we've come to expect from a big action-adventure game: you can climb up buildings with ease like in Assassin's Creed, and the combat features a satisfyingly brutal counter system much like in the Arkham series of Batman games. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a game that aims to fill a gap in the series' mythos, telling a story that serves as a bridge between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. ![]()
