Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an absolute blast if you dig Lord of the Rings vibes and don't mind brutal combat. The Nemesis system is awesome – watching your orc enemies level up, get stronger, and trash-talk you is so fun. The story's okay, but exploring Mordor, taking down war chiefs, and building your own orc army is insanely addictive. If you like action-packed open-world games, you've gotta try this one.
