I am now arrived in the second area, previous season about 17 hours, and it even makes always more fun to dive into this world.
Has been added recently a screenshot mode that allows the editing of the current situations, which you can save finally, in short a cool gimmick!
Technically, this title with the best of what you can get currently well, just behind the Crytek- games.
In my view, one has also upped the ante a certain shovel, compared to other open-world titles, such as AC Black Flag, or Sleeping Dogs.
The textures are sharp crack, and this itself "only" with medium texture settings, the rest of the settings are all set to a maximum of what has still surprised me a bit because I also "only" a Crossfire of two, somewhat older, AMD 6950 ,
This corresponds approximately to a 770 NV / AMD 280X from the power level, and come in quite demanding benchmark rate at ~ 80 FPS (Crossfire profile FEAR 3 is used).
The middle textures settings because I only have 2 GB of video memory, and it comes to annoying jerkiness at the high, which require 3 GB of video memory, but this is explained everything in detail in the options, how much video memory is advisable for the respective settings is.
Still, I have to say that I could see between high, middle and elementary no difference.
There is also the downloadable "Ultra textures", but which formally require 6 GB of video memory, if this is indeed so, of course I can with my 2 GB not understand, I can only judge that the middle and high texture settings that consumption actually have ,
Playful remembers the game myself frankly more to the Batman Arkham games, which also already had excellent animations.
Also, in principle, the combat system, including animations and enemy types, taken over almost 1 to 1 of the Batman games, as well as the slow passages.
With Assassin's Creed we have not even the opportunity to sneak manually, which made me rather annoyed to even the series in the past.
One should sneak, but has no Schleich options available, this is in shadow of Mordor ergo better solved in principle, as it has also integrated a few playful options.
All in all, sneaking into Mordor shade more fun, and who knows the control of Batman, also knows the shadow of Mordor, since it is the same, only just adapted to the setting.
The skills that you unlock during the game, are fundamental in this game, so much so that it is advisable to make fairly early in the game, a few optional missions to have an advantage in the Hauptkampagnie. These sidelines do but also a lot of fun, and also give some good insight into the world of Lord of the Rings.
Even the Steelbook I have to commend that really looks pretty good, and also has a certain thickness, so no "Alu Book" is.
That should of course play this title with controller, is indeed obvious, and after all these years, really every PC gamer should have indulged times a Microsoft Xbox Controller for Windows.
Also made a positive impression the musical background which clearly conveys HDR Feeling that good German speakers are me (partly already known from the movies, such as Golum) and the nice cutscenes!
Also overall, the sound makes her a lot!
So if you looking for a good action adventure, and with Lord of the Rings something can begin, is certainly good in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor lifted.
