I saw it on sale on PSN and keep going back and forth on it? Is it still worth it and is it really as good as everybody says it is?

Yes. SoM is a solid open world game on its own, and the nemesis system, while maybe not as great as it's been painted by some corners of the Internet, is very fun to mess with.

Yes, it is. That's a steal for that game.

It's not as good as everybody says it is, but of course it's worth $25.

According to most Game of the Year lists of 2014, it was worth the $50 more than most other games that are priced that way.

I found it very slow, boring, and bland early on. But once you start unlocking abilities and using the nemesis system to your advantage, it became very satisfying and fun to play, as well as one of my favourite games of last year. I got it for $45 and felt satisfied with my purchase, so for $25, I'd say its a steal, and if you don't enjoy it early on, I'd recommend persevering through the earlier stuff in order to see what the game truly has to offer.

It looks good, it moves fast, the 2nd area is way more visually interesting then the first. As a first pass on a new game system (Nemesis) its an amazing proof of concept.

The story is completely throw away but the combat + movement is smooth as butter and the upgrade path turns you into a fucking badass, and the stealth is really really well done.

As good as everyone says it is... I'd say not to think about it like that because that's how things get hyped to unreachable levels. It's just another game, albeit one of high quality. It is worth $25.

It's a pretty good game, I'd recommend it to fans of the genre (Batman's Creed) for that price, no questions asked.

Loved it and felt like I got every penny out of the $60 price tag, so $25 sounds like a steal to me!

Just a heads up, don't get the last gen versions. The last gen versions are neutered in terms of performance and nemesis system.

No Brainer purchase at $25. Buy and enjoy.

It is amazing fun! I found the story interesting despite hearing a lot of negativity about it. In regard to gameplay, it is flat out. FUN. I am not one to get into complicated systems and all that, but the nemesis system is easy to understand and I was completely engrossed in it. If you're into trophies, it's also a fun and easy platinum.

I'd argue it's worth a whole $60, but that might just be me. Get it.

@dumptruck05: Ive been wondering the same thing I still have my 10 bucks credit from getting my psn so I might pick it up too

Game of the Year for a reason. I really enjoyed it.

Yeah. $25? If you like action gameplay, know yourself out.

Yes. This game is awesome.

A resounding yes, many hours of fun to be had.

this even gets the rorie seal of approval, so thats your question answered. good game is good takes a bit of time to get good but when it does its good and at 25 notes thats not a bad deal for a good game.

Yes, totally.

If you have already played every Assassins Creed and Batman game, then maybe? It's basically a mediocre pastiche of those games.

I just did 2 days ago. C'mon, everyone's doing it.

I have 100% the PC version, and I still come back to it and fuck around every now and then. The nemesis system just lends itself so well to random fun.

For whatever reason the press really liked it, including this website, but it's just a generic action game. Well done with lots of polish, but very bland.

If you are on as tight of a budget as it seems, I would wait for something like Dragon Age to go on sale personally.

What kind of question is this?

It was worth it at $60

Buy it.

I've had a ton of fun with it today. I also picked up the season pass because why not. The extra outfits are actually really cool.

You certainly won't regret it. Or at least I hope not. Because Shadow of Mordor has got a lot going on.

As much as I was indifferent toward the game, I'd definitely say it's worth it at that price.

It's good mindless fun. I don't play on the harder difficulties generally but this game turns you into a totally invincible, ruthless beast right around the halfway point and a lot of the challenge is lost as well as the real intrigue of the Nemesis system (and I mention difficulties because there is no adjusting it). I've read about people making their own fun with it afterwards but I personally ignored most of the systems at that point and just steamrolled through Mordor like the One Ring was an insignificant waste of bronze (or whatever). Which was a lot of fun for me, a great power fantasy, but if you like a challenge or a good story it's worth noting both of those things are insignificant to what ultimately made Mordor so fun.

I enjoyed it at full price though so I'd definitely be in love with it if I'd gotten it for more than half off.
