If You Like These 5 Games You’ll Definitely Like Shadow of Mordor

The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim

Because You Like Open-World Fantasy Settings

Skyrim is probably one of the most significant video games of the last generation. A massive open-world fantasy game that was full of elves, orcs, magic, and dragons. The entire fantasy genre owes a great deal to the works of J. R. R. Tolkein and if it wasn’t for his writings, Skyrim may have never existed as we know it now.

Shadow of Mordor takes the Tolkein inspiration a step further by setting itself right smack in the middle of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings timelines. The game’s story is effective at connecting to the larger Tolkein universe while still carving out its own unique corner. Uruks and wraiths walk freely in the lands of Mordor, though dragons have luckily stayed away.
