Is Shadow of Mordor worth exploring?
When Shadow of Mordor released, I didn’t really have strong feelings about it. I caught some gameplay moments but didn’t think it matched my preferences. Recently, a review highlighted more of the content, which made me reconsider purchasing it during the WB publisher weekend sale. I’m worried about losing interest after a long session, similar to what I experienced with AC4. I enjoyed Assassin’s Creed but found the gameplay in AC2 and 3 felt quite repetitive. Would you think Shadow of Mordor offers enough engaging gameplay for someone who’s grown tired of Assassin’s Creed?
Shadow of Mordor: Should you invest your time? Yes. Worth the $60? No. Worth it for $20-$40? Yes—I can play when I borrowed it from a friend and it gets quite repetitive after a while. After 100 captains and only halfway through the army, it feels like a long stretch. It’s just one of those games people glance at and think...meh.
The campaign is just about ten hours long. Do you only purchase games that last forever? You can always chase more challenging orcs, but it starts to feel monotonous...
I’m someone who enjoys completing many side quests during the game, which makes me feel powerful and in the lead. When I noticed a large army available for rewards, I spent a lot of time on it, but soon I got tired and disengaged.
I understand it still makes sense, I bought it at full price and it's almost 100% because it's a solid game.
Avoid Steam, it's about 8-9 euros for the standard version on G2A
