11. Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of Mordor gameplay

Enter the epic world of Middle Earth, home to the Lord of the Rings series. Players get to take control of Talion who, with the help of a mysterious phantom, is gifted an undying curse that he wields to disassemble the orc legions of Sauron. Fight for freedom, fight for honor, and fight for vengeance against Sauron’s Black Hand.

What Makes Shadow of Mordor Awesome:

  • With mechanics split between stealth, ranged, and close quarters combat, the player is allowed to choose the flow of battle.
  • Branding system means you can capture and command the enemy hordes to do your bidding, or if you will it they can simply die for all you care.
  • The spirit’s phantom bow allows for a unique ranged experience that has you warping around the map like the killer in a slasher flick.

Employ the help of a mysterious elven spirit.

Battle fierce foes as you tear through the orc forces of Mordor.
