This is melded together to create what is undoubtedly one of the best games of this year.Īs Talion, you’re free to roam around the world, and you can take on missions and side quests as you see fit. The stealth, executions, and style of Assassin’s Creed, and the combat from Arkham. There’s the open world and mission structure of Far Cry, complete with fast travel towers and strongholds. Shadow Of Mordor is an open-world game that fuses elements of Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and the Arkham series. There’s also the matter of finding out about the wraith’s past, which is root in the series’ lore. The two set out on a quest to find and kill The Black Hand of Sauron, the person who killed Talion and his family. Instead of dying, however, he’s pulled from the abyss by a mysterious and powerful Elven wraith, and is bound to him, making him an immortal, of sorts. Set between the events of The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings, Shadow Of Mordor tells the tale of Talion, a Ranger of Gondor, who is killed, along with his wife and son, during Sauron’s return to Middle-earth, as the army of Sauron assaults the Black Gate. And, we’ve had plenty of examples thus far, including fighting games, RPGs and, the MMO, and now the series is moving into open-world, third-person territory with Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor. A large fantasy world, rich lore, great characters, and a classic villain make the ultimate ingredients for just about any gaming genre.
Tolkein’s beloved fantasy epic is not only a great story, and a stalwart of the genre, but it’s also perfect material for gaming. The Lord Of The Rings series has had it better than most when it comes to videogame adaptations.
