When 95% of video game writing sucks, you never expect the Nazi killing DOOM clone to have a strong script.
If I were to play this again (just for fun), I'd probably drop the difficulty some. I'm sure it's a skill issue, but on "I am Death Incarnate," even the grunts were shredding me. I felt slightly less like a badass because of this. Next time I'm either playing Uber, getting all the achievements, and losing my mind, or I'm cruising on Game Journalist difficulty and enjoying the fantastic set pieces this game has to offer.
Game is good. You can kill Nazis with two guns at once. Game is good.

The dream segments can go die in a pit, otherwise, this game holds up very well. I expected the action to be great, but was surprised to find the writing just as good. Definitely looking forward to playing the rest of trilogy.
Youtube essayists are legally obligated to never shut up about the Nemesis System, however, while the Nemesis System is very cool, I think just as much time should be spent praising the power fantasy of Shadow of Mordor. I spent something like 40 hours 100%-ing this game, and the combat never got boring. Seriously, a decade later and this is still one of the most satisfying iterations of the Arkham combat system.
