A must for fans and friends LotR aesthetic Fantasygemetzels!

Actually, I'm not a fan of so-called. Action games, I like it more tactical and prefer role and strategy games.
But I'm also a big fan of fantasy, especially from the Tolkien universe where playing the Lord of the Rings.
Therefore I have made on Steam a "blind buy" after I have informed me a little on the net and trailer for the game.
The gameplay is quickly outlined - one slaughters primarily hordes of Orcs down in a typical action games ala Batman Arkham or Assassins Creed shoulder perspective and must cleverly combos of offensive and defensive strokes strung together to form a so-called getting "Flow" and finisher. trigger combos. If this is interrupted in the fight against multiple enemies, it will be hard to defeat all. Therefore skillful use and timing is required here instead blunt Spanking - I recommend a controller instead of keyboard and mouse to control!
Here, the whole thing is presented very chic and the orcs fall toll staged sword or bow of the protagonist to the victim, where especially the latter weapon after a couple of combos can be used with slow-motion effect for finishing, 2 to 3 Orcs head of the shoot shoulders. A wonderful adrenaline rush.
Of course, the whole slaughter has such reasons: the hero was brought to the game starts from the afterlife to now a vendetta against the murderers of his family - herself and him - to lead. No spectacular story, but the motivation to find the culprits orcs, sitting! By retrieval from beyond the hero possesses supernatural powers and can, for example, with the enstpechenden Skills Orcs "master" and manipulated so that they obey his will and he can do so later even captains to his puppets who assassinate their own people. Nice Idea.
These skills and the "natural" martial arts can be learned and developed in a rather extensive skill tree, according to individual taste. Points to is obtained by killing the orcs and completing small tasks that are obtained in the "Open World". A beautiful little RPG Sidekick, which acts quite motivated and not overloaded.
The game itself is free explorable, which means you can move freely through the card sections of Mordor and is not (necessarily) bound to linear paths, so that one also gets to theaters, the interesting battles against trolls, spiders, ghouls and similar creatures with to bring. One may even a beast, the Caragor (mixture of lion and dog) tame, and use as a mount and warhorse. And also an old acquaintance from the movies you meet ...... (my Schaaatttzzzzzzz) Great!
The ultimate goal, however, is to make the captains and chiefs of orcs track down and "interrogated" to find the culprits Killerorks end. These struggles are the most demanding, always offer unique, great designed Orkleute and you earned after defeating them runes allow easy strengthen the arms. Here you get through the interrogations of inferior "thugs" who are entsprechnd marked for questioning, information on the appropriate leader and subsequently get an identity with their strengths and weaknesses. Without this information it is difficult to defeat the enemy.
The practices are more diverse than in comparable titles: you can directly storming into carnage, but also sneak and bypass or isolate and from behind Backstab, move in the twilight zone, to see enemies through walls etc. Groups of orcs!
The graph is in full details really awesome - the somber mood of Mordor is super staged and the Orcs look really so threatening, as we imagine them. Also the sound is not too short and accompanied the slaughterhouse in Surround wonderful.
Overall, a small work of art that is mainly all LOTR fans prepare enormous fun as beating the heroes of the films by the orcs. Actually, there is hardly any complaints, except maybe that the "Open World" would have little busier may be, except whip the often repetitive orcs Skalvenkarawanen through the area. Since you're probably spoiled by Skyrim for!
Little tip: head always helps when starting Orkhauptleuten in order to convey to the afterlife final - otherwise you might see each other again ....
Second tip: BUY !!!!
