 By: Michael Polizzi Staff Writer Shadow of Mordor was released on September 30, 2014 and took the gaming world by storm. The game combined the combat system from the Batman Arkham games with the stealth system from the Assassin’s Creed games and added the Nemesis System, which is what made the game truly shine as unique. The Nemesis System allows for all of the orcs and orc captains in the game to be affected by the player’s decisions. Unfortunately, there were some downfalls with the game. The game ends rather abruptly and the boss battles at the end of the game are underwhelming.
