Assassin's Creed: Syndicate vs Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate gives you two main characters to play through, twins called Jacob and Evie Fry who are raised to the Creed but see it almost eradicated at the end of the Victorian Era. They journey to London where they infiltrate the criminal underworld and start to fight against the Templars.With it’s first major female lead character this game finally bridges the gap, and it gives you 2 unique playstyles to enjoy as each character has its own way of taking out their enemies. Set at the end of the industrial revolution you are in a vastly different and evolving London and it is a lot of fun to roam around. Though this version has no multiplayer it is still a great story to involve yourself in and play. With a lot of fun side missions alongside the main story you get a lot to do in this game and of course, there is the continuing saga in the modern real world for you to grab hold of too.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the best games when it comes to the Lord of the Rings franchise... and yes, as much as we've enjoyed it, this means this game is way better than Lord of the Rings Online. Featuring a gameplay that may bring to mind other action-oriented RPGs like Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham and even Prince of Persia, Shadow of Mordor is a game that rewards stealthy attacks and yet if you prefer going after your opponents head-on, you can. Of course, the game is literally covered - oozing, in fact - with sweet, honey-like lore from the Lord of the Rings universe, and its graphics and soundtracks are simply superb.That said, the best part in this game is how everything major thing you do has an impact on the virtual world and this is best seen through the game's revolutionary Nemesis system. As the game progresses, you'll also unlock a wide variety of really cool abilities, one of which will allow you to mind-control orcs and turn them into your very own personal army.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps one of the best RPGs out there that, despite its not-so-short 3 years on the market, the game has garnered overwhemingly positive reviews from both critics and fans alike.
