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.

Shadow of Mordor is a game with some glaring weak points that manages to make up for it with some novel and fun systems, as well as solid combat, responsive controls, and interesting environments.

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
