re: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Morder thread | Reviews look great

It's fantastic so far! It as a lot of familiar stuff that you will see from Assassin's Creed and Arkham but it definitely has it's own flavor. The world is cool and gothic and feels lived in. The enemy literally is everywhere and if you make a bad decision, you will pay. And the nemesis system is really interesting. There is a little bit of an easy abuse that enemies don't climb to well so there were quite a few times where I'd just climb something and the 30 enemies on the ground wouldn't be able to follow, but it's not a make or break that you can do that.

Here's a little story from my gameplay earlier.

I was doing a mission earlier and I ran into Tumhorn the Destroyer whose only vulnerability is to stealth. Knowing that there was nothing to do, I hightailed it. He pursued with some followers. I came to a canyon and there was some giant troll like creature causing havoc in it. I had no chance killing it so I just crossed to the other side and climbed up. I looked behind and the orkswere standing on the other side of the canyon staring at the troll thing, to scared to follow. Eventually they did jump down into the canyon and they got demolished. Except Tumhorn who single highhandedly kills the beast. Meanwhile another captain comes upon me and I kill him, and just as I do, Tumhorn walks up and finishes me off.

Oh, for old schoolers, I think health might regenerate but it does extremely slowly so it makes things pretty difficult so far. I've died more than I want to admit.
