The editors liked

  • TDP and power draw is almost unbelievable at 150W for such a high-performance GPU
  • Using only one 8-pin PCIe cable
  • In contrast the Fury X requires two 8-pin cables
  • Overclockability is very good so far – GPU Boost 3.0 works with the Precision X overcloc
  • Great animations. Good voice acting
  • And dialogue reminiscent of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. Nemesis System really builds Orcish Nemeses.
  • Intriguing procedurally-generated enemies
  • Obvious love for Tolkien's lore
  • Open world that feels aliv
  • Nemesis system personalizes gamepla
  • Story respects Tolkien mytho
  • Memorable visuals and sound
  • Nemesis system works great
  • Satisfying combat
  • Well optmized
  • Great voiceacting

The editors didn't like

  • Repetitive
  • Shallow combat system. Bland story. Forced
  • Boring
  • Instant-fail stealth missions. Small and empty for an open world. Redundant power-ups and perks. Unskippable cutscenes interrupt combat
  • Little reason to engage with side content
  • Tedious central story
  • Somewhat bland protagonis
  • Unbalanced difficulty curve
  • Story is straightforward and predictible
  • The world could be more fleshedout

  • Alright: May be slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled. ...

  • Abstract:  Finally. A Lord of the Rings game with a mature rating, it's about time. J.R.R. Tolkien's world can get pretty dark and gruesome, so it only makes sense we would one day see a LotR game that portrayed the visceral nature of war and carnage. Though the gam...

  • Should the denizens of Mordor come to fear the dead ranger, or should the dead be left to their end? In my opinion, bring the terror. Shadow of Mordor is a very fun game that does a great deal right, to the point that the developers should be quite proud ...

  • Abstract:  Recently, more games are making the jump to film than publishers are making movie games. But that wasn't always the case. From the 90s to the late 2000s, we were blessed with some of the best movie video games after, what seemed like, almost every single...

  • Abstract:  We forayed into Middle Earth as a Ranger of the Black Gate – our expectations were low, and then buoyed as we played through a third person action game that is difficult to fault.I am a bit late to the party here, this title has been out for a few weeks n...

  • Abstract:  Heavy action: Dispatching orc foes is a bloody business. Photo: Warner BrosWhat is rarely mentioned is that the volcanic wasteland seen in the films was not how Mordor always was. People lived there once, and this is where we get the narrative of the new ...

  • We are not only surprised by how great of a game Shadow of Mordor is, but at how little it demands from your PC's hardware. At the surprisingly attractive low detail setting, configured to render 1280x720 pixels, the game ran smoothly on a sub-$100 Radeon...

  • Abstract:  Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor , an RPG with various action elements set in the fantasy world of Lord of the Rings, was released in late September. The game's storyline takes place between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings , so odds are you'll recogn...

  • Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is far from flawless. The pacing is all over the place, the length of the story would embarrass a paperback, and the gameplay genuinely feels like Ezio Auditore and the Dark Knight had a baby and took him LARPing. For all th...

  • Fun, solid combat system, Decent amount of content, /- Nemesis system. That isn't as vital as it thinks
  • Borrows too much from other games, Little to do outside of combat, Reviewed on PS4. Available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. PS3 and Xbox 360 due November.
