The main character levels up as you advance through the story, and this is one of the few games I've played that truly got the upgrades right! Leveling up makes sense, abilities are enhanced based on your choice of play style. Controls were spot on (which is a problem in many other games), graphics are impressive, story makes sense, but the best part of all is the progressive style of gameplay that is unique for everyone! I originally played this game when it first released on the Xbox 360 (I did not own a Xbox one at that time), and it looked amazing on that console. Gamers can also force their minions to go on Assassinate, Terrorize, Sacrifice, or Spy missions, and success lets players upgrade the skills and weapons of both Talion and his Orc and Uruk captives. This in turn can affect the way gamers approach their missions, as the open-world nature of the game allows for bloody and direct melee combat, and players can also scale walls to get to higher ground and perform powerful ranged assaults or precision stealth attacks. Shadow of Mordor employs the Nemesis System, which ensures that high-level enemies always have unique names, appearances, strengths, and weaknesses, and the personalities of these foes are shaped in part by previous interactions with Talion. Players then set about exacting revenge by systematically eliminating high-ranking members of Sauron's army. Talion is also killed, but resurrected by a mysterious spirit and given new Wraith Powers that let him exploit the memories, habits, and personalities of foes and bend them to his will. Set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor puts players in charge of Talion, a ranger of Gondor and guardian of the Black Gate, whose family was murdered when Sauron and his armies returned to Mordor.The views of the moderation team do not reflect the view of Microsoft or its subsidiaries.
