An 82 average that undersells it — ask the 498 people who rated it. An RPG that understands the assignment: fantasy, open world, meaningful choices, and combat with actual teeth. Solo only, and better for it — this is a one-player experience through and through.
About this game
Go behind enemy lines to forge your army, conquer Fortresses and dominate Mordor from within. Experience how the award winning Nemesis System creates unique personal stories with every enemy and follower, and confront the full power of the Dark Lord Sauron and his Ringwraiths in this epic new story of Middle-earth.
The world of men is ending. In fires of Mount Doom, a ranger, and wraith bound together in death. Crafted the one thing that could challenge Sauron, a Ring of Power. But power can blind those who seek it, The Great Deceiver has returned to Middle-Earth, to rebuild his armies. To rule all. The corruption will be contained no longer. The war for Mordor begins.
