Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings .
You play as Talion, a ranger of Gondor guarding Black Gate.
Talion and his family are killed by Sauron's armies led by Black Hand, but Talion is possessed by a mysterious wraith and is transferred to Mordor.
His goal is avenging his family and revealing the identity of the wraith.
Shadow of Mordor is an open world game, where you have freedom to explore Mordor and completing side quests.
The game combines elements of the Assassin's Creed series in terms of freely roaming the world and the Batman: Arkham series in terms of the combat system with complex combinations of offensive and defensive moves, and finishers.
The game uses a Nemesis system that remembers Talion's interactions with enemies, adapting their behavior at a later time.
For example, a defeated orc might want to take revenge on Talion, humiliating him in a similar manner and wear the scars of the previous fight.
The Nemesis system also generates the bodyguards, captains and war chiefs of Sauron's armies.
They have their own hierarchy and become stronger as they manage to kill you, rising in the ranks.
Captains who manage to beat Talion grow in strength and are promoted, and in time they become a serious challenge and a personal vendetta.
Even though there are many fighting sequences, a large amount of stealth is encouraged to avoid overwhelming confrontations until many new weapons and abilities provide a wider range of tackling large groups.
Captains can be killed permanently (usually by beheading them with a finisher), or you can choose to have them return at a later time through a regular kill.
It is also possible to brand enemies which puts them under your influence.
That way you can exercise control over them and have them fight by your side, but as it can be applied to all stages of the orc hierarchy it can also be used to influence the system from the insid
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor [Steelbook Edition], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
