Former developer of the monolith on the ghafe peyshit:
Good group of people working on it. It is pretty awesome.
Well, don't know. Already how many games came out in this universe, but there was almost nothing sensible.
2 parts of Battle for Middle Earth + addon to the second, Return of the King was very good for its time, War in the North seems to be not bad (I haven't played yet, shame on me, lotrophagus since 8 years old)
LEGO LOTR is usable.
I was also saddened when the RPG on Lotra was covered.
I'm looking forward to this game, maybe a good comeback of the Monoliths, or maybe Gotham City Imposters: /
Yeah, how

Details
The protagonist of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Talion, is a mixture of the ghost and the Ranger of the Black Gate, thanks to which he has unique abilities and sides. But do not rush to look for references to a ghost man in Tolkien's books - he simply is not there. The developers of the Monolith team decided to expand the existing lore and created certain conditions thanks to which such a hero as Talion appeared.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor takes place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, thus the game covers a period when Sauron's powers grow, however Mordor has not yet turned into a scorched wasteland. This does not mean that the region is covered with forests and lawns - it is also difficult for a person to survive here.
Talion's wife and his son live not far from the dangerous Ranger's post, which becomes the reason for their death. The developers deliberately decided to use the Talion family as one of the key elements that will balance the development of the plot.
Talion and his family are killed by Sauron's minions at the very beginning of Shadow of Mordor. However, instead of meeting them in the afterlife, Talion is tied to Middle-earth by a curse. He is revived when his essence is connected to the spirit. Why he is associated with him is as much a mystery to him as it is to the players.
When Talion awakens from death, there is a spirit of vengeance in him. Now that he possesses the skills of a Ranger and the abilities of an immortal spirit, Talion travels to Mordor. With all this, he is able to see not only the ordinary world, but also what is usually hidden - the world of spirits.
This spirit and Talion himself are separate but exist in the same body. The spirit has its own character and its own motives, but they work together to achieve a common goal.
If you've seen the screenshots, you'll notice that Talion has a suspiciously familiar sword fragment in his hand. However, this is not Narsil, just a similar sword fragment that belonged to Talion's son. He uses it as a dagger for a stealth assassination.
"Dagger", sword and bow can be upgraded by killing orcs and collecting runes.
Spirit Abilities:
The ability of Strike from the shadows - teleportation to the enemy to quickly kill or navigate the world The ability to stop the movement of the enemy, tying him to the ground Slowing down the time for aiming with a bow The ability to frighten enemies and subjugateThe latter ability will play an important role, since there will be a lot of enemies and they can simply crush with a mass. One way is to kill the leader of a group of opponents and instill fear in the ranks, destroying them piece by piece.
Talion can also scare enemies to such an extent that they will obey him. Thus, he can collect data on opponents or kill key enemies.
As the game progresses, Talion and the spirit will discover the truth about what and why tied them together, and how all of this is woven into the overall history of Middle-earth.
The developers say that it is very important to understand how life events affect the character of the character - for better or worse. And how everything that happens to him can affect the world as a whole.
