In The Bright Lord’s campaign, you play as Celebrimbor and must build your own army of Orcs by branding the Warchiefs and then take your army and fight Sauron. ![]() Torvin teaches you new ways to hunt and gain control of various beasts in the world, and you must use these new skills to take down the Warchiefs. In Lord of the Hunt, you once again play as Talion, and this time you assist Torvin, a character you meet in the main campaign, and must eliminate five Warchiefs. Outside of obvious characters I’ve seen in the films, I have know idea if some of the others are in the novels so I can’t say how close this game sticks to the source material. On your journey you meet several characters, even some familiar faces, and complete various quests to progress the story forward. Talion’s ultimate goal is to avenge the death of his family and Celebrimbor’s goal is to uncover his own identity since he’s suffering from amnesia. I guess you could say you’re playing as two characters. After Talion’s death, Celebrimbor, a wraith, merges with Talion’s body, essentially resurrecting him. Talion and his family are slaughtered by Sauron’s Orc forces. You play as ranger and captain of Gondor, Talion. The main campaign takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. For this review I played the Game of the Year Edition which contains all previously released DLC including the Lord of the Hunt and The Bright Lord campaigns and it also includes all character skins. I’ve beaten this once before and enjoyed it for the most part. ![]() Interactive Entertainment, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was released for the current gen consoles and PC in September, 2014, and last gen consoles in November of that same year. Developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. I have to watch all three films in a row so these movies ending up turning into an all day event. I obtained the trilogy on blu-ray and it’s the kind of film series where if I start watching it, I can’t stop. I’m not much of a reader so I have no intention on reading the books anytime soon but I eventually saw the movies for the first time several years back and they’ve become some of my favorite films. ![]() I never read any of the Lord of the Rings books and I never saw the films when they were in their prime.
