I was no sneaky assassin here-I was an invader. This open world was hostile, with orc patrols, camps, and strongholds (not to mention various wandering creatures) all posing a significant threat. But that feeling of familiarity quickly dissipated as I moved around the flatlands of the Sea of Nurnen, one of the areas deep within Mordor that you’ll discover. I was expecting to be Altair by way of Aragon, and initially, Shadow of Mordor is indeed reminiscent of an Assassin’s Creed game, with main character Talion looking and moving like he could easily be a long lost member of the Assassin Order.
