Performance
The game essentially plays similar to assassin’s creed. From a third person view, we the players maneuver through the map interacting with characters, and fighting enemies. The combat style is similar to that of assassin’s creed because of the option to instantly block or counter during fights, which always make the battles that much more intense. Aside from the battles, the game presents different objectives such as sneaking around the game in stealth missions which present new ways of play rather than simple fights to the death. If the middle-earth setting is too bland for your tastes, consider the transistor game, a futuristic RPG game.

Design
The design of the game runs smoothly on the high performing consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One. Middle-Earth’s design is not that exciting in terms of landscape since the era the game takes place in the past rugged times of medieval life. In terms of battling goblins, orcs, and controlling some creatures, the game does carry the nice mystic touch of the lord of the rings saga. Try this game if you want to enjoy some moments with Golem. For some top-notch new releases, check out the best open world games for the PS4 too.

Value
The combat system in this game allows for multiple ways of fighting enemies, which keeps the game exciting and different every time. The nemesis system alone provides enough reason to try this game out. It is not often that the AI enemies that kill us raise ranks within the storyline. An effect like that cuts on a deeper level and allows for the rematch to be as epic as intended. For a video game to make death more meaningful, the game is surely a win.
