Shadow of Mordor is getting some feedback from the creators of Assassin’s Creed for being…um…let’s call it derivative.
And yeah…I can see what they’re saying. My reaction watching the official trailer was, “I loved this level in AC 2!”

She has a degree in History, as well as a new-found penchant for disassembling literary canon. She lives with her equally nerdy husband and two gigantic cats enjoying table top games & cosplay.

Yeah. That’s pretty much how I felt about it. It’s Assassin’s Creed that they attempted to shoehorn into the cosmology of Middle-earth.
Well I’ve never played any of the Assassins Creed games, so this will be all shiny and new for me 🙂
