Don't play this DLC. Not even if you loved the Shadow of Mordor. Not even if you bought the game of the year edition. It removes everything fun from the main game, which really brings out all of the game's flaws.

Playing as Calebrimbor should have been the coolest thing ever, but it is just is a bore to play. He has less health, he can't slow down time while aiming with the bow, and he doesn't have double combat executions, which would have been useful considering you spend 90% of the dlc branding orcs. He does have the power of the one ring, but that only lasts a few seconds. To be able to use the one ring, you need to brand orcs. The DLC is just doing the same thing over and over; brand orcs to fill your one ring meter, and activate the one ring to kill the captain/warchief. Good luck killing the captains and warchiefs without the one ring fully charged, because Celebrimbor is weak.

The biggest sin this DLC commits is it tries to make the game harder by adding objectives that are not fun. I finally gave up on this game when I was asked to brand 15 orcs for an army while in combat. This first part was fine. I would combat brand orcs (one at a time, every five-hit combos), and charge up my meter. There is no way I could have 15 orcs branded just by doing this; my controled orcs would die quickly, sometimes by my own hand accidently (nothing is more frusterating than branding your own orc a second time, and killing him). My meter would fill up, and I'd have about four orcs branded still alive. I'd activate the one ring, brand 10 orcs, and then call in some controled orcs that were just waiting for my call. The next part is when things got stupid. You have to maintain control of 10 orcs for two minutes. Again, these orcs do not last very long. I'd dip below ten frequently. The problem is the timer resets when you do this, so you have to start the two minutes all over when you get back to ten. I lied. Nothing is more frusterating than having exactly 10 orcs alive, and five seconds left on the timer, and one of them dies because you branded one of your own orcs again. At this point, I gave up on the DLC.

I get it. People complained Shadow of Mordor was too easy. However, making the player a badass was what made the game fun. The Bright Lord strips you of most of your power, and the gameplay is ruined by it. It's not fun.

Psychonauts is a unique game. You play as Raz, a kid who wants to be a psychonaut. So he sneaks into a summer camp for psychonauts.
This game is a platformer from the brilliant (and crazy) mind of Tim Schafer. If you don't know who that is, well, you are a terrible human being and you should buy this game immediately.
Anyways, the story is awesome; the dialogue is brilliant and hilarious; it's an overall good time. There's a good amount of collectibles, if you are into that sort of thing. Good times.
