Middle Earth - Shadow of Morder
From the maker of Batman series which is WB Games, this game i want to say it a nice conception but the gameplay was bit similar with Assassin's Creed and castlevania 2. It was like a mixture of both. The combat was adopted by Batman series itself. The location was designed nicely but was reminding me of Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim.Talking about storyboard, hats off to guys who thought of such a unique story, characters and the type of villains viz. Uruks and Black Hand.
The most interesting part of the game was killing the giant Grug in the cave, also the dialogues which the dwarf used to say was hilarious.
The main character of the game which the player moves here and there in hills and valleys are actually two in a single body and both are ghosts who get stuck in Middle Earth coz they are banished from death. One is Talian who was a captain and other is Celebrimbor who was a ring maker. And the common thing in them was that the wife and child of both have been murdered in front of their eyes by the same guy named 'Black hand'.
the whole gameplay revolves between two maps full of uruks here and there. Player proceeds with his quest in the first 10 missions then second map with more vegetation in surrounding replaces the first one till mission 20.
In the whole game, only one mission will bother and irritate you the most i.e. mission 19 as you have to take all 5 warchiefs in your control so that you can fight with Black hand in the next mission.
I thought that the final fight with the boss (Black hand) will be the toughest part of the game but it was just opposite. Nevertheless, the enjoyment of completing the game was something else in this very short time of 12 hours 23 minutes with completing all main story mission (shown by the yellow icons in map).
I'll rate this 7.8/10.
