Gameranx: "It may not be unfair to say that licensed video games have higher hills to climb to prove their worth, or at least are stigmatized in such a way, than original properties. Monolith's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor met a similar struggle when it was first revealed, and not just because it was set within the very influential world Tolkien created. Its gameplay looked derivative of Assassin's Creed and the developers' proclamations seemed overly ambitious. But what sounded too good to be true turned out to be true. The result is one of the most satisfying gaming experience I've had this year."
