While it may be true to Tolkien lore for orcs to be subhuman and worthy of extermination, I can't get behind it. The sultry spider queen villain-friend is well done and Gollum makes a welcome appearance. I didn't get all the way through so reserve full judgement. The open-world elements are great, allowing the player a good deal of freedom to explore beautifully rendered areas. It was created in 2003 and gives one of five age ratings taking to consideration one of seven (formerly eight) content descriptors. Movement feels great, allowing the player to run unimpeded across the map, unless you get caught on a strangely angled jump. Gameplay-wise, the Batman-style combat is highly functional, if a little dated. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition comes with a lot more than people thought for it. Yes, the orcs might have started it, they might hate us 'pinkskins' too, but Shadow of War's reduction of them to a level unworthy of life is confronting when they are so central to the game. The overall rating is based on review by our experts.
