The hero is a policeman, talented and devoted to duty. But there is a clarification - this is a dead policeman, killed because of his work, but he did not leave the world, he turned into a ghost and did not lose his passion for investigations. A hero can do many things in our world, but not all.

Open-world traversal built around electricity: you climb, grind rails and fight in the same continuous motion, and it rarely asks you to stop moving. Combat stays readable even when the screen fills up. The karma system is the weak part — choices are signposted as obviously good or evil, so the moral framing lands flatter than the moment-to-moment play.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a continuation of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor The game operates on the world and the characters of the books of JRR Tolkien. However, it will be more accurate to say that the game is closer to the cinematic version of this story, created by director Peter Jackson.

A Gothic sequel by a different studio that traded the series' hostile, systems-heavy world for a conventional open-world action RPG with accessible combat and a clear quest structure. Taken on its own terms it is a competent, slightly janky European RPG. Taken as Gothic it is widely rejected, and the PC build still has unresolved resolution and display bugs on current Windows.

An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.

Shorter and tighter than the game it follows: venom powers add real variation to combat, and a smaller winter New York with a more personal story avoids the padding of the original. Around eight hours. It reuses that map wholesale, and side activities are the same checklist the first game already exhausted.
