Dishonored vs Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Dishonored
Dishonored is one of the most highly acclaimed, first-person action-stealth game that puts you into the role of a supernatural assassin set in a city, Dunwall, where somehow technology and the paranormal collide. Unbeknown to you, the cost of your supernatural abilities that had made you into one of the most efficient assassins ever is incredibly high and once the cost is made known, you can't help but feel betrayed and hence, your path to exacting your vengeance on the dark forces who gave you these powers begins.The gameplay in Dishonored is amazingly free-form - you can approach each assassination your way as long as they are stealthy enough to keep you alive. Aside from your new-found ability to possess any living creature and stop time itself, you can use distractions and the pockets of darkness to your advantage as well. Interestingly, your chosen way to kill will affect the world around you and the outcomes of your missions will also change as a result. There are plenty of ways for you to customize your character to fit your play style too.
Since its release, Dishonored has garnered a massive amount of approval from fans and critics alike. After all, it has managed to provide a stealth-based game that's not only unique but also incredibly immersive and addictive to play. If you enjoy stealth games with a bit of extra mystique, this is definitely the game to buy!
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.
