First of all ME:SoM is a good and solid game with both pros and cons and just some things that could have been done different.
Pros:
-The combat is fun, easy and very brutal (as i like it)
-The combat system seems to come/is similar to the Batman series.
-The Boss system is awesome and the brand functions make it even better.
-lots of side missions, yet not a giant selection of different once.
-An okay story line not the best, yet not the worst i have seen
-Lots of DLC content for further playing, Season Pass is worth the while.
-soundtrack is good, epic music at times
-A good selection of Characters and a lot of references to other Characters. (The two blue wizards)
- a good stealth mechanic, with a lot of different ways to kill.
- Free run system is okay not the best.
- rideable creatures

-As a big LOTR and in general Tolkien fan this lore is nice to see explained in video, and there is enough of it. Many might not see this as a pro, but i love lore and it gives a nice story to how the ring came to be.

Cons:
- Even though the combat system is good it becomes repetetive after a while and you find yourself doing the same thing over and over.
- The "Major" boss battle (main storyline) is a little dull. (why see lowest for spoiler)
- After a while you thin out in "SAURONS ARMY" and the captains become weaker and weaker.
- Pathfinding can sometimes ♥♥♥♥ you over
- targeting while in combat is sometimes weird trying to avoid attacking the units which counterattacks.
- Main storyline is rushed in the end.
- The variety of normal enemy units isn't many, 5 in total, normal unit (nothing special) beserker, defender, archer, spear thrower. the general units are not hard to kill and seems boring at times.
- very predictable combat patern.
- see second spoiler
- leaves little to no replayability, unless speedrunners and stuff like that.
Final verdict:
7/10 it's not a bad game and many times the errors are overlooked, you feel awesome and badass when you play Talion/Celebrimbor. The games repetitive nature lowers it, and at times it feels like they tried to copy Batman and Assasins creed into this title. yet the game feels smoth and has no larger bugs.


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::SPOILERS::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
-The last boss battle is 4 Quick time events.... and the battle before the boss battle was very good but it just felt wrong, i felt this way about all main mission bosses.
- The Gollum storyline ends out of nowhere, it feels too sudden.

This game is one of the best games i have ever played!
- So much to do, So much action and the graphics is just insane!
- Thanks for making this available to buy and play steam! Thumps up!

One of my favorite games this year...
I've played this to full with all achievement completed and I still love coming back to this master piece again and again...

If you are a fan of LotR and like Assassins Creed with a ghostly twist, then this is the game for you...

The hardcore LoTR fans will find plotholes in the story, faults and so on. However the game treats you to an epic story and the lore that does fit, which is a lot, is woven into the game perfectly. Gameplay wise I will start with the good stuff.

Bas Rutten touches me in my dreams.

Combat is incredibly gorgeous, these guys took a look at combat systems from different franchises, selected the best and integreated that in this game. There's good free-form fighting, finishers and gore all around and some strategic thinking is required.

I hear the voice of Edward Richtofen.

Characters are very well crafted but some lack a little depth. We spend the game getting acquainted with Talion and progressively Celebrimbor. But what about Talions family? I took on a revenge quest for some strangers. Some side characters just need to fleshed out properly. Talion however is a great hero, a bit tragic but he does remind me of John Marston from Red Dead Redemption, and he [Talion] is portrayed expertly by Troy Baker. Orcs are critizised for being shallow and stupid, but I think that works well for their nature.

I ♥♥♥♥♥ a goat in Far Cry 576, which a tender love story starring Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The setting is Mordor before it becomes a barren wasteland and it is beautiful, detailed and well populated. There's just one snag: size. It is too small. I would have loved the opportunity to explore more, too small maps are what you get, and frankly, there could have been more quests. Hopefully we will see more as the ending greatly teases a follow-up.

I named my 'gentlemans sausage' Terminator.

Some bad stuff includes: A little more prolugue, as mentioned, I felt I was taking my revenge for people I barely knew existed. More interaction with Loreth and Dirhael, perhaps some quests could have solved that problem.

Loreth reminds me of a buttcrack seen in Borderlands 2.

Character development is good for Talion and Celebrimbor but for other side characters and those, who help you on your journey, they feel hollow and you don't really get to know them.

I trained Batman.

The world of Mordor IS gorgeous no mistake about it. But for an open-world game it's too small and feels narrow. They may have centered the game around the Nemesis system, which is perfectly crafted, but this is considered open-world. So let's have that. Towns, settlements, random encounters, this is where they should have looked closer at Red Dead and Grand Theft Auto, Skyrim would have made a good template. I felt trapped in Mordor and the only activity I could do was: maim, torture, kill, boost my weapons legends, collect souvenirs and so on, but I couldn't go to a town for a mug of mead if I so wished. I would love to be able to go to a town and gather allies by helping them or simply go weapon shopping if I wanted, which brings me to my last point.

Taylor Swift is a very pretty man.

Customization. I was getting tired of seeing Talion using a broken sword as a dagger and I wanted to be able to buy a new one. Or a new set of armor 'cos mine was soaked in blood. Customization, an economic system, and free side activities like fishing or hunting for food and maybe some tournaments to earn money. They should look at Skyrim and use that as inspiration.

Double the medicine.

Overall this game is epic. Despite its shortcomings, it's worth every penny, and no playthrough is the same thanks to the Nemesis system, but next time it should be far more immersive. I recommend this with a rating of 9/10 simply for awesome combat, enemies, blood and gore, story and general gameplay.

Dempsey has made a crawler, now everyone can do it.

the most awsome game ever !

One of my absolute favourite games!

♥♥♥♥ing godt spil

Wonderful gameplay and story

This game is absolutly ausome!

shadow of mordor is ok but its has som cons like

: there counter attacks and the more animated part of youre attack leaves to get killed if you didnt want to use like if you use and se that you gonna die by and enemy killing ya you cant do ♥♥♥♥ if you already used the attack because youre play cant run when he uses the counter attacks or if i just dont want to use it i cant just stop and move no, and this has killed alot and made me rage a lot because its super annoying,.

: also every god damn time you attack any thing there is a mini boss or a bigger boss and you would think that you would have a chance against him no, he has like 40 to 50 orcs stabbing you and shooting you while youre ♥♥♥♥ing trying to take him out and its ♥♥♥♥ig sucks he feel like a normal npc whit extra health and some times god danm annoying special ability

then there are the campaign its feels a little dull for me and its to short its feels like a really god looking mmorpg theres offline and i hate that there are only humans and orcs i get sick of it really fast it gets repetitive and the npcs are having the same conversations alot its ok but not enough for me to little lord of the rings over it.

but it haves potential just need some changes to the combat between orcs they spawn all the time its freaking annoying
