Only just started, will be updating the review as i go along but so far this is an amazing game, the mechanics are easy to use, the graphics take my breath away and the voice syncing is superb which is something that seems really hard to accomplish for many other games

+ Great Soundtrack
+ Amazing Storyline (So far)
+ Good Keyboard/Mouse Controls
+ Great Voice acting and Voice Syncing

So Far rating is: 9.5/10

Edit2: (spoilers ahead)

Completed review below. Enjoy

Shadow of Mordor puts you in the shoes of Talion, a former ranger of Gondor who watches his family murdered in an unexplained ritual before being murdered himself. Revived and bound to an amnesic ghost, Talion embarks on his quest for knowledge and vengeance.

Shadow of Mordor takes elements from the Assassins Creed and Batman Arkham games along with a unique setting, excellent soundtrack, brutal combat, memorable characters and with a breathtaking story creates a game that pulls you in, and you cant pull yourself out until you finish it.

Shadow of Mordor gameplay mechanics were well done, since i use a keyboard/ mouse setup that is all i can tell you. The controls on the keyboard was organised well, you easily switch between wiping out opponents without anyone knowing you were there, but if that isn't your way of doing things you can just as easily run up to an Uruk and kill him to his face. It really doesn't matter how you do it, taking Uruks out from above and below, poisoning grog, freeing caged beasts and exploding barrels seeding discord, becoming the unseen shadow that they fear. But if that isn't your style become the other half, the unstoppable ranger, that enters a fully manned Uruk fortress through the front gate, and leaves soon after covered in Uruk blood from head to toe with none left alive, becoming the clearly seen monster that they fear. In the eyes of Talion it doesn't matter, as long as no Uruk remains alive and you aspire ever closer to your vengeance.

Now onto what makes Shadow of Mordor a real experience, the Nemesis System. A system that makes Sauron's army not a programmed force with its directives fully controlled from start to finish, but a real army filled with unique opposition each with their own strengths, fears, personalities and weaknesses. The system is shaped by your actions, making your experience unique,for every Uruk you kill another will take its place and each will have their own story. A particular Uruk i had problems with was Shaka the Sickly, i first met Shaka by decapitating him and i thought that was the end of him, how wrong i was. Our second meeting was a surprise for he still had his head! so i decided to see if two times the charm, but it wasn't to be Shaka was prepared, the Nemesis system granted him an immunity to combat finishers and i was already very low health, so i died and Shaka became a Captain, becoming stronger and my revenge target. I encountered Shaka four more times throughout the earlier parts of Shadow of Mordor until i unlocked my new favourite ability, brand, the ability to control any Uruk and when i next encountered Shaka, head now covered in cloth that if i cant kill him lets make him my slave and then i took it a step further, for Shaka was the strongest Uruk around due to his multiple encounters with me and Shaka the captain became Shaka the war-chief.

Shadow of Mordor is a game that makes your actions matter, if you choose to blitz though the campaign without considering the other aspects, you will enjoy the game but you will cheat yourself into missing out all of what Shadow of Mordor has to offer. I died three times in Shadow of Mordor and every time i did Saurons army changed from what it was promotions, treachery, feasts, recruitment, hunting, initiations, executions and more happened while i was gone. Shadow of Mordor was a game that the longer i played, the more i enjoyed it and it was done i felt a combination of satisfaction and sadness. Satisfaction because i saw the climax of what was one of the greatest games i have ever played,and sadness because the main campaign was over. But i didn't despair for long, for much was left to be done Uruks to kill, Catagors to ride, Graugs to kill, Artifacts to find, Challenges to be completed and weapons of legends to be made.

Overall Rating 9/10 - An amazing game that cant wait for any DLC to be made.

Smashed an alien in the face with my fist.

Overall a good game, takes concepts from the earlier games of the franchise and gives a sense of accomplishment when you grind enough to get the next weapon or equipment.

Positives

+ Easy to play
+ Get to smash zombies
+ Unique ideas and concepts

Cons
-Takes forever to find matches on scavenger mode
- Pay to Win unless spend days after days grinding
- Still a little buggy when killing zombies
