15 Video Games Where Dying Actually Means Something

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War

Bosses are frustrating, they are made to be that way and really you can’t blame the devs for slipping in a number of bosses; video games wouldn’t be the same without them. But, when it comes down to the open-world game set in Tolkien’s universe; Middle-Earth: Shadow series, it can be a bit of pain to deal with. The game uses a feature known as the Nemesis System, also known as Sauron’s Army in-game. To no one’s surprise in Shadow of Mordor /War the player fights orcs over and over again. So, in the inevitable point when you die, the orc who landed the killing blow has the chance to wind up as a promoted orc and a named sub-boss. He also gains abilities that makes him harder to kill, so mindlessly going back to kill that same orc will probably not do any justice.
