But Shadow of Mordor, unlike many games before it, actually did do something new and awe inspiring. The “Nemesis System”. It’s that simple from a design perspective. What we often call amazing new mechanics are, in reality, watered down versions of mechanics that already existed and have been changed in some way to appear fresh and new. Take Assassin’s Creed Parkour and Batman’s Freeflow Combat mechanics, throw them into a blender, and you get Shadow of Mordor’s amazing combat system. It’s been a long time since there has been any legitimate innovation in the way a game works.
