As you may have already seen, the review embargo for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor has dropped and publications are free to post their reviews online. NowGamer hasn’t.
Warner Bros has yet to send us a copy of the game, and is holding off until next week to do so.
A review event was hosted for the game where there would be a short amount of hands-on time with Shadow Of Mordor, access to the developers should there be any questions and guarantee of a copy of the game to take for review.
NowGamer chose not to attend the event but, as a result, was not provided early access to the game ahead of its embargo and won’t be until its release next week.
So our verdict – if that means anything to you – will be available at some point next week. If you’re interested in the game and absolutely can’t buy something without our say so then you’ll have to wait until then.
If you just want to know whether it’s worth getting, however, we’ll roundup a bunch of reviews from the PS4 version on Metacritic (it seems only one place so far has reviewed it on Xbox One):
