Games like middle earth: shadow of mordor

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an open world action-role playing video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. An original adaptation of the legendarium created by J. R. R. Tolkien, the game is based on Tolkien's fantasy novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and is heavily influenced by director Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film adaptations. Officially announced in November 2013, it was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in September 2014 and released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2014.

The story of the game takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The players control Talion, a ranger who was killed by the Black Hand of Sauron. The wraith of the Elf Lord Celebrimbor bonds with Talion's body, and together they set out to avenge the deaths of their loved ones. Players can engage in melee combat, and utilize wraith abilities to fight and manipulate enemies. The game introduces the Nemesis System, which allows the artificial intelligence of non-playable characters to remember the deaths of the game's protagonist and react accordingly.
