Is Middle-Earth - Shadow of Mordor still worth playing in 2026?
An open world action game from Monolith, Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor sends a ranger bound to an elf wraith to hunt Sauron's armies, with a Nemesis system generating unique enemies that remember their clashes with the player. The fluid combat inherited from Arkham, the climbing and above all the Nemesis mechanic make it a striking success. The repetition of activities and a secondary story weigh a little. An excellent adventure for fans of open world action and the Tolkien world.
