绝佳的游戏!我一直都想骑一次巨兽(格劳格)。
bom
Das Spiel bockt. Es ist zwar nicht so komplex wie de 2. Teil aber es ist eine schöne Einführung in die Mechanics zb. das Nemesis System. Ebenfalls sollte man es vor dem 2. Teil spielen um die Lore etc. zu verstehen und zu kennen
Как нативная игра на MAC OS хорошая

This is certainly an interesting game. Took me a while to figure out what I actually needed to do, once my confusion was reduced, I started having fun. Being a J.R.R. Tolkien fan, all of the references, along with the story line make me smile. The only addition along with the HD option was a nice ReShade, gave some definition to the colors within an older game. All ‘n all the concept is different, the quests are not bad, side quests help with leveling your character. Fun game, set in a realm any fantasy fan can appreciate.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and there are several major reasons why: 1.Overcomplicated controls: The game's controls are needlessly complex and uncomfortable. I had to completely rebind them just to make the game remotely playable. 2.Missing mission instructions: Some main and side quests are poorly explained. The game often doesn't tell you exactly what you are supposed to do, leaving you to tediously figure it out on your own in a "find out yourself" style. 3.Frustrating captain balance: The enemy difficulty is extremely unbalanced. While some captains are simple and fairly designed, others are absurdly powerful. You will run into captains who are completely immune to arrows, stealth takedowns, and regular combos. When their only weakness is a fear of Morgai fly nests, you have no choice but to constantly restart the mission until you find the perfect position to shoot a nest and scare them off. 4.Nonsensical and endless enemy respawns: The number of captains in the game world makes no sense. The exact same captain can cheat death and come back to life up to three times. On top of that, it regularly happens that you are fighting a single target, and suddenly two more captains appear out of nowhere, turning it into a three-on-one fight. The worst part is the constant generation of new enemies – you finish one mission and 8 brand-new captains instantly spawn in your area. It is an endless loop. 5.Content locked behind the story: Key abilities and interesting combat moves are locked deep within the main story progression. It takes way too long to actually unlock them. Conclusion: The game has some interesting ideas, but due to the poor balance, frustrating enemy respawns, and lack of clear mission explanations, it annoyed me more than it entertained me.
Very good, very nice.
