![]() ![]() "Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor stands out from other open-world action games by putting a great new layer on top of the trail that Batman blazed. But it also provides all of the tools to ensure that the most interesting tales to come out of the game will be the ones that were not scripted." - Philip Kollar IGN - 9.3/10 It tells a fun little story that would be enough to hold up most games on its own. "Shadow of Mordor is that ultimate rarity. Shadow of Mordor is the strategic person's action game." - Alexander Sliwinski Polygon - 9.5/10 "What would have otherwise been a competent sandbox game with solid combat mechanics and an interesting twist on a known fantasy world is elevated by the Nemesis System. It isn't a bad game, it just feels far too repetitive for its own good." - Chris Carter Joystiq - 5/5 Although Monolith's heart is in the right place and the studio honors the lore, it doesn't really add anything that's worth seeing outside of some solid open-world gameplay. "Ultimately, like many ambitious projects, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor doesn't deliver on everything it sets out to do. ![]() I already knew what future lay in store for Middle-earth as I played Shadow of Mordor I'm hoping that my own future might one day bring another Lord of the Rings adventure as stirring as this one." - Kevin VanOrd Destructoid - 6/10 "his is a great game in its own right, narratively disjointed but mechanically sound, made up of excellent parts pieced together in excellent ways.
