![]() Maybe it was the same as the first game, but to me it seemed completely random, like no other controller game I’ve played. Y to deflect, A to dodge, X + trigger to do an execution, trigger to stealth. The number of buttons you have to remember to perform combat is pretty ridiculous, and they’re all obscure. I was left in Mordor with no idea what to do. I was expected to be led through a story of revenge, or a story of finding and saving his wife and son, but the story just … disappeared. The story started so strong and then it just … evaporated into nonsense. To be honest, it wasn’t clear to me at all why your guy is a ghost, either. It wasn’t clear to me why you’re supposed to do that. You’re supposed to stealth around Mordor and kill orc captains. The story basically ends after the opening cut scenes, and then we are thrust into a Far Cry or Assassin’s Creed-style open world game, with a lot of stealth mechanics. Now for the bad news: The game itself didn’t suck me in at all. IMDB also says that most of the cast of Critical Role is in the game somewhere, and a lot of other recognizable voice actors like Phil Lamarr and John DiMaggio. It’s good, and IMDB confirms that I did indeed recognize the voice of Laura Bailey as the wife. I’ll be taking notes for the next time I write a book.Īnother selling point is the voice acting. It’s a really bad day for this guy and it sucked me into his world completely. Then we find out all three of them were captured and ritually sacrificed, but somehow this guy turned into a ghost. We don’t know where he is, but he’s standing over a body. Within seconds, we see a relatable character in conflict. But before I could even complete my ocular gymnastics, the prologue stopped and we saw the main guy. ![]() It began with yet another “this is the epic story of the entire history of Middle-earth” prologue and I started to roll my eyes. ![]() It came out in 2014, I bought it in 2016 for $7.50, one of the more expensive titles on this list.įirst the good news: The story of this game starts out fantastic, one of the best I’ve seen. Yesterday I played the second Tolkien property game in my Steam Backlog Bonanza: Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor.
