Tie-in games for movies and books typically mess with the canon and tarnish the lore of a well-respected franchise, and admittedly, Middle-earth: Shadow of War completely demolishes The Lord of the Rings' history. However, it does so in such a chaotic and interesting way, alongside fantastic gameplay mechanics, which make it one of my favorite games of all time. Right now, the full experience is under $6, and in all honesty, that's well worth it even if you somehow aren't familiar with Tolkien's iconic series. Read the rest of the story...

One incredible mechanic can make an entire game worthy of your time. The time loop of Outer Wilds, the social interaction of Dark Souls, and the titular portals of Portal are all incredible ideas pushed to their limit. A singular design objective is the centerpiece of the experience, letting everything else revolve around it. Middle-earth: Shadow of War's phenomenal Nemesis system is exactly that, turning a solid open-world fantasy adventure into an unforgettable one - and it's currently less than $3.

Sure, The Lord of the Rings is a story that centres on some unassuming hobbits and deals with questions of the corrupting influence of power and the ultimate value of self-sacrifice. Sometimes, though, what you want to do is beat up a lot of orcs, and there's rarely been a better chance to do that than right now: action RPG game Middle-earth Shadow of War is on sale on Steam for 85% off.

Monolith's Lord Of The Rings games Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor and Shadow Of War are fun action stealth 'em ups that deserve praise just for their combat. What really makes both worth mention though is the nemesis system that turns procedurally generated baddies into your own personal antagonists the more you encounter them. Why haven't more developers tried their own take on the nemesis system in the last six years? Because Warner Bros. patented it, turns out. That sucks. Read more

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. With Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor, I thought, “This is it. They’ve perfected Arkham-style combat. It can’t get better than this.” With Middle-earth: Shadow Of War, I realised how mistaken I’d been. (more…)
