Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Trailer
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor REVIEW
His name was Noruk the Assassin. When we first met, he lodged an arrow in my chest and left me for dead. This was the start of many more of my own deaths--me typically getting an explosive arrow to the neck, him getting one promotion after another for repeatedly slaying the deathless Gravewalker (that's me). But when I finally killed him and his lackeys after more than a dozen failed attempts, it felt like a part of me had died. Just as Batman and the Joker give each other purpose, Noruk's presence in Mordor was a constant reminder of my struggle to get revenge on the Uruk. Without my diametric opposite, I felt weaker.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an outstanding action game, offering a satisfying mix of stealth and melee combat that series like Assassin's Creed or Batman: Arkham have perfected. But the Nemesis system, which cleverly makes enemies grow and evolve along with the player, is what elevates Shadow of Mordor into the upper echelons of open-world excellence. Every time you die, it's personal.
I'll get back to the antagonists, but let’s talk good guys for a second. You play as Talion, a Ranger (think Aragorn) who's dead before the game even starts, forced to watch his wife and son get their throats slit before getting the same treatment. But fate gives Talion a chance for revenge when an ancient Wraith binds himself to the Ranger's corpse, giving him the gift of immortality and super awesome ghost-powers (complete with glowing blue eyes).
Talion and his live-in phantasm start out as fairly one-dimensional characters. But over the course of the 20-to-30-hour game, you'll grow to enjoy their banter, which is equal parts cynicism and good humor on both sides. And they're not the only denizens of Mordor on a mission: the supporting cast, while small, is made up of some memorable personalities, like Ratbag the turncoat Uruk; Torvin, a self-aggrandizing dwarven hunter; or that scheming imp Gollum himself.Whether or not you're a diehard Lord of the Rings fan, the sheer amount of lore--woven into the world via collectible artifacts and weapon-centric missions--is staggering. As with most open-world games, these bits of backstory and extra challenge are totally optional, strewn throughout Mordor for those times when you want a quick, enjoyable diversion from your vendetta. Pretty much right from the start, you've got the gratifying freedom to explore the picturesque hillsides, desolate quarries, ominous strongholds, and lush forests of Mordor's two sizeable regions, thinning out Sauron's army however you see fit.
By "thinning out," I mostly mean "brutally killing every Uruk in a 50-mile radius." When it comes to combat, Talion and the Wraith make quite the pair--the former being an expert swordsman and adept throat-slitting assassin, the latter with his ability to slow time and line up precision arrows direct to Uruk skulls and flammable grog caskets. The swordplay is like a much sharper, pointier version of Batman: Arkham's fistfights: free-flowing combat interspersed with counterattack button prompts. The key difference is that instead of simply knocking your opponents out, you are utterly desecrating their leathery bodies like a butcher carving up meat.
Now, as far as modern video game excesses go, Shadow of Mordor isn't gratuitously gory. But it's got all the devastating violence that swords, bows, and the giant-dog-like Caragor mounts will allow. Every instance of over-the-top carnage--beheadings, chest-slicing combos, being eaten alive, or taking a blade directly through the forehead--is sold by incredibly convincing animations that feel weighty and impactful. Even the stealth kills are vicious, with the option to brutalize an enemy with multiple stabs to the head, neck, and stomach in order to scare off all his comrades (a ruthless-but-effective tactic for isolating your target). While the savagery of the combat is sure to get your blood pumping, it can be somewhat upsetting to notice the sheer terror in an Uruk's eyes right before you invade his mind and end his life. But then you remember that Uruks are merciless slave-owners bred only for war, and you start to feel a bit better about your countless killing sprees and oil-black bloodshed.
The intricacies of combat could've simply consisted of fights against plain grunts using your supernatural abilities, and Mordor would still be a ton of aggressive fun. But the Nemesis system turns every duel to the death into so much more, giving the villains just as much personality as your hero. Warchiefs and Captains lead the forces of Sauron's army, each one randomly generated from a set of pug-ugly faces, delightfully snide voiceovers, and odd character quirks. Maybe they'll become enraged at the sight of their master's suffering, or run for their lives if you ride into battle atop a Caragor.
You can exploit these strengths and weaknesses by learning them ahead of time, interrogating some hapless minions or rescuing some eavesdropping slaves. This turns even the most incidental encounter into an exciting, significant event, through the necessary build-up and preparation. Though if your plan goes awry and one of your targets gets the jump on you, the surprise duel will trigger the fight-or-flight cortex of your brain. Whether you opt for a grueling battle or a panicked getaway, it's sure to be intense. And each time you die by a soldier's hands, he'll level up and learn some new abilities that make him that much more resilient.
What's incredibly impressive is just how distinct these randomly generated nemeses feel, thanks largely to dialogue that seems to predict your every possible action. When you encounter your rival, they'll remind you how they killed you the first time around, or mock you for chickening out during your previous encounter. Some belittle you while speaking in rhyme; others don't talk at all, choosing to snarl and scream like animals instead. All these possibilities create the kind of personal experiences that you want to share with your buddies, regaling them with stories of how your Uruk rival humiliated you during your last fight, or finally met his end after a hard-fought battle. Even the lowliest troop can rise up through the ranks if he lands the killing blow on you, which is oddly satisfying despite the fact that he, y'know, executed you.
The only drawback to the Nemesis system is that the random traits can lose their appeal if you start noticing repeats, an unfortunate side-effect of the fact that you can slaughter the higher-ups of the Uruk army indefinitely. Shadow of Mordor's story structure gives you the freedom to kill Uruks to your heart's content, but doesn't make it entirely obvious that this will only further the Wraith-centric plot at very specific points. But just when you think you've seen it all, Talion gains the ability to brainwash the enemy forces to his side, letting you amass an army all your own. This wrinkle adds even more depth to the quest for revenge, since you can try to murder a Warchief using his own underlings, or have the last laugh over your nemesis by breaking his mind and forcing him to fight for your cause.
Another aspect of Mordor where repetition can get tiresome is the template for the slave sidequests, which always task you with liberating a group of indistinguishable captives. To help prevent these rescues from being completely monotonous, bonus objectives (like time limits or a quota for a certain execution type) help break up the pace. Still, given how much polish Shadow of Mordor affords to its other systems, it's strange to see such formulaic missions take up a third of the side-content.
But that hardly matters the overall package is this phenomenal. Shadow of Mordor isn't just the greatest Lord of the Rings game to date--it's also one of the most entertaining open-world adventures around. By the time you've concluded Talion's journey, you'll feel like you've experienced your own personal odyssey through Middle-earth, locked in a struggle against adversaries that only you truly know. The thrill of undermining the Uruks' hierarchy doesn't last forever, but the memories of the villains it generates will stay with you for a long time.
