The graphics are wonderful, even if you bump it down to medium for a lower end computer, or if your computer can handle it, high for a brighter experience.
Since there's a sequel coming in late 2017 for this game, I'm hopeful that the developers were able to use Shadow of Mordor as a test run for some bigger, more elaborate ideas and end up giving us a better experience the second time around.

Cometh "Shadow of Mordor" to pull me from my slump and awaken my heart, with blistering 60 FPS frame rates, gorgeous & fluidly rendered visuals, well voice-acted scenes, a new (although non-canon, but very pleasantly unfamiliar) storyline, non-stop action and finely tuned controls
I love the game, awesome mechanics, spectacular visuals, and overall fun

The games dynamics change upon outcome of every mission/death of a war chief, nemesis system is truly genius, get this game right now if you don't have it!
The Nemesis system is really cool and the controls are fluid
Or explore the nemesis system by issuing death threats and working betrayals and riots
The nemesis system was amazing, though it doesn't change the game play that drastically from game to game
After about the halfway point in the game, it's too easy to stay alive and defeat just about any number of enemies with no real difficulty, and since you can kill anything you want, and don't die, the Nemesis System shrivels up since it's getting no input from you other than "uruk died, uruk died, uruk died" instead of the more dynamic interactions possible earlier on, before your character gains too much power.
I felt that the controls were great, and I enjoyed the different types of combat.

Shooting them in the head, exploding their heads, cutting off their heads, throwing them off cliffs, burning them with exploding barrels, backstabbing, causing monsters to attack them, mind controlling them to kill other orcs and then have their heads explode when I was done with them, etc, etc.

I found myself trying to kill Orcs captains before they could talk
At times you have to fight 30+ orcs AND kill the Captain/warchief3
The only time I found this game really repetitive is when I was going for 100% completion and wanted to dominate every captain, complete every weapon mission and find every rune and relic
So if you have killed 3-4 captains before and you die say 4 times then 4 new captains take their place which essentially wipes all the effort that you made to kill the captains in the first place.4
If you die then the captain is promoted AND another captain fills the empty spot
I found myself replaying some Challenge mode over and over again killing orcs.
Shooting them in the head, exploding their heads, cutting off their heads, throwing them off cliffs, burning them with exploding barrels, backstabbing, causing monsters to attack them, mind controlling them to kill other orcs and then have their heads explode when I was done with them, etc, etc.
So yea, as you can tell the best part of the game is killing orcs.
At times you have to fight 30+ orcs AND kill the Captain/warchief3
Now that the bad points are out of the way let me say that this game is great, and have played it for near 50 hours, and unlocked almost everything.
As other reviewers have pointed out, it does seem odd that after the first half of the game, you travel to a different area and everything is reset.
Those are the negative points with the game that prevent giving it 5 stars
