Much better than expected 1

Comparing Mordor shadows with the previous licensed titles for LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY seen but already a significant increase ... from 0 to 100) Admittedly I was a bit skeptical, but my skepticism was already in the first 2-3 hours cheerful Orkgeschlachte again offset.
As Aragorn-Lookalike you trudge cheerfully through free-roaming Mordor, rushing from vantage point to vantage point to areas and tasks to unlock (hm, where one knows that .... right from Altaiir or Ezio), distinguishes between weightiness of missions, this can but after desired track. From main quests that advance the story to simple flowers picking and more. Here, the game is not as SKYRIM play but, as you have to fear for his life constantly, because one is in the midst of the enemy world. In Story Spoiler I will forego times ...
It is very good that the approach to the missions one can even sneak obliegt.Man or shred, tactically ... or sometimes rather run away;) the fights with the Orkscharen are sometimes quite knifflig.Zwar is the combat system simple Button Smashing interspersed with combos but the number of orcs often takes the upper hand, so that one bites increasingly into the virtual grass. If you killed by an Orc, this rises in the hierarchy of "Orkse", for example to Häuptling.So is it that you meet again on his opponents who clearly strengthened the sword swings then. If you have the same dealing with several chiefs, it gets even more challenging. Despite the struggles in the best manner Hack'n'Slay make neat mood and see also still really cool. The optics are consistently managed some level sections are a bit drab, but on the whole the presentation gut.Ebenso as the background music. What is slightly annoying eternal, and often noisy orc grunts when one sneaks over to their camps.
Something messed up I find the menu background that you have to climb first, until you get it, had to work. After some Getüftel but that is no longer a problem.
CONCLUSION: successful, visually appealing and playful game with matching HDR flair. RPG elements round off the ultimately rather simple Hack'n'Slay principle. Influencing the sauron'schen armies by killing or promotion of Orc bosses is not bad, we'll see how that affects even during the game ... well worth it. all those who were disappointed by the previous HDR games, I'd recommend a look into Mordor shadows.
Really good and motivating game with long-term pass !!!
Small Update 10/15/2014
On the whole, we traveled in Mordor SHADOWS 2 expansive maps with different tasks. Be it XP to earn with sword legends, dagger or bow or legends to rescue slaves from the clutches filthy orcs. As the game progresses and may have to "dominate" the chiefs so that they support Talion in the fight against the Black Hand. That is the thing and the side missions again extra spice, as you can in the fray draw the orcs on his side and let them fight against their own kind. For the final you have to recruit some chiefs, while playing but they came to me unnecessary extras as before, at least I had already done to the first Orkfreund unsheathed my job his ax. On the whole Mordor SHADOWS remains a great, vast and entertaining adventure. Disappointing I found the end of the game, which simply and briefly seemed and compared to some chief fighting was much easier. Still good!
