Some people say this game is one of the games that "easy to learn, hard to master".

They're so damn right.

In early matches, knowing basics is enough to give you victory.

As you move up the ranks, things will get tough.

Sometimes you can't even touch the ball, with all those pros playing in the sky (literally).

Mastering aerial and timing is a must.

But in my opinion, teamwork is much more valuable than individual skills.

Finished this game last night (finally). Much quicker than I expected.
But the indicator says my progress is only 50% (probably because of those collectibles that I didn't collect)

Earlier in the game you are a ranger who slash (literally) his way into the realm.
Later, you could choose to be a messenger of peace. Or provocateur, in Sauron's eyes (or eye?)

In normal mode, when you unlock certain abilities, Shadow of Mordor turns into casual game.
No, I'm not kidding. You just hit, block/dodge, little bit of QTEs, and repeat.

And that final battle. It is just too...unexpected. In a bad way.

My complaints aside, this is a very entertaining game to play with solid combat and other mechanisms.
The story is good and unfolds nicely.

Sluggish and inconsistent movement, gliding players, too much auto action even after I turn it off in settings.

The control is kind of unresponsive, and that's a big problem when defending. For example: that delay when you hit the sliding tackle button. It's just unbearable.

I don't really care about the graphics or all those eyecandy. I just want a great football simulation. And PES 2016 spectacularly failed to deliver.

KONAMI needs to patch the PC version heavily.
Before that, avoid this game at all cost.
To make things worse, I can't refund it because I bought the physical copy (which is cheaper than steam store here where I live). I regret every rupiah I spent on this $hit.

Trying to build a catapult without success.

Saw other player's catapult making video in youtube.

I think I missed too many physics classes in high school to overlook such simple principle.

10/10 for making me feel "I need to go to high school again".

Actually I don't really like this game after few hours of gameplay after its release (like some years ago). But since I bought it and gave my brother a copy after some co-op trial at the last free weekend, this game is now officially my favorite game in 2014 (so far from the release date huh? one word: bargain).

If you got friend to play this, BUY IT! Four vault hunter at the same time? Badass!!!

Great art and unconventional "co-op" (well, it is technically a co-op between your left and right hand). Actually with some level of pain tolerance you can play this as two players game.

Funny narative and satisfying puzzle(?). Oh and you can play local co-op for more fun.

It's like playing Counter Strike with Medieval settings.

This game is a multiplayer only, and I'm very happy with that. And by multiplayer that means it's much better to play this with real people instead of bots. I repeat: THE BOTS HERE ARE NOT FUN TO PLAY WITH (coz they can't feel emotions)

***WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT***
The sensation you feel when successfully decapitate (or crush, depending on the weapon) your opponent in a single strike is very very very satisfying
***END OF THE NOT-SO-GRAPHIC CONTENT***

Last but not least, I hope the developer will add some new maps, weapons, or even class to make this game more interesting.

Too tempting to ignore. And It's free,
