Shadow of Mordor

I bought Lord of the Rings games before and so far I wasn´t impressed, I guess it didn´t help that those are movie games that are often not of the greatest quality. The Lego game was funny but nothing new to be honest. But now there is Shadow of Mordor, a dark story about revenge and tactic. Not the type of tactic you would expect in a game of chess but still it has some depth. But how good is this game really?


Let me first say that I like the style of the game, it´s dark and ominous and exactly how I would like to see it. If you´ve seen the movies then this will probably one of the darkest things you´ll encounter in Middle Earth. But working with a wraith you wouldn´t expect things to be cheerful and I´m glad it´s nothing like that. It´s brutal action where killing is nothing new and executions can be extreme!


Isn´t this just an Assassin´s Creed rip off? I´ve heard that before and I must admit that I see similarities, but it´s definitely not a rip off! This game borrows some ideas and you might have the same idea with the assassinations but this game offers so much more than just that. It´s like being focused on the space mission in a CoD game and saying it´s a Halo rip off because that´s also in space.


Why would you want to play this game? If you like Lord of the Rings, bloodthirsty action and an interesting story that goes a bit deeper into the lore you might already know. But also the voice actors you might know from other games let you care about the characters and you want to know what happens next.


I´m not going to spoil the story, this is something you should discover on your own and definitely play yourself because letting someone else tell you is just such a shame! If you can find the time to play this, in case you´re hooked into Destiny, then I would definitely recommend trying this game because it´s beautiful. Dark and twisted but definitely beautiful!
