My October was primarily about Shadow of Mordor. I’ve read that the game is a combination of Assassin’s Creed and the Batman: Arkham series so I had to check it out. I’m just going to list down the things I like about it:
- The combat is very well-done. It’s solid, visceral and feels right at home with its Lord of the Rings setting. The slow motion effects to emphasize kills made building up that combo worthwhile.
- Gameplay is a mix of Assassin’s Creed’s parkour and Batman: Arkham’s combat. You get the best of both worlds.
- I like how the Nemesis system allowed me to craft my own Orc leaders. Sure, they were puppets in the end but it was still interesting to have a say in it.
