This means that there is a constant shifting of power behind the scenes. They upend districts or take the reins of the Orc Senate or House one by one.
Imagine that Mordor, the deadly, vile land of Sauron is like the United States, with Orc Democrats and Uruk Republicans fighting for control and honor whether you fight them or not.
Instead, a great bulk of the game's play revolves around playing political mind games with Orcs and Uruk (who are like super orcs). At least there's not much "bring me my helmet, I forgot it at the brothel" type of side quests common to this type of game. You've got your fast travel here, your level up skills there, and combo-based fighting everywhere. You've got some combat ideas literally stolen from Rocksteady's Batman games. You've got your Assassin's Creed-like movement and stealth (courtesy of aforementioned Celebrimbor). It certainly plays the role of an action game with slight RPG elements well enough, liberally poaching from popular games of recent years. However, if all you know of Middle-Earth is general approval of the movies, and you're the type of gamer who can remember the days of the 90s when you could rent nondescript action games like Chakan or Journey to Silius to win them in a weekend, never looking back, then Shadow of Mordor might be a brief ride of fun before you feast yourself on the other main attractions coming out. Tolkien's defining masterpieces of fantasy fiction that you call them the "legendarium," Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, with its bro dude plot of a ranger who fights for revenge after a botched sacrifice attempt lets Celebrimbor possess his body as a wraith, is likely to make you give an evil eye to the game that can rival Sauron's. First things first, if you're such a fan of J.R.R.
