Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
There are several games which take established tropes and attempt to cross them with a beloved property. Few have been as successful with this approach as Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Its Nemesis system offered players an interesting meta-game of dominating and assassinating Orcs in order to draw out Sauron’s highest ranking minions. That’s not including some of the stories that would emerge from battling random Nemeses. There were still tons of interesting side quests to complete and areas to explore along with amazing abilities to unlock.
