So many similarities with Batman Arkham series


1. Forge towers are quick travel points like Batwing drop point.

2. Batman's X Ray scanner tacks down nearby enemies and overhears them talking like Talion's wraith mode does

3. Combat is pretty fun actually, except you don't kill thugs in Arkham.

4. Blue themed navigation system which stores records of villains in your hit list

5. Side missions are available throught the city of Arkham/ Mordor.

6. Villains usually come with reinforcements who are basically cannon fodder.

7. Stealth kills/knockdowns are simpler in both the games

8. Both can climb walls and jump off rooftops, except Talion doesn't need a grappling hook.

9. Thugs/Uruks talk about Batman/Talion all the time, you just have to sneak up on them and hear them talking.

10. Alfred Pennyworth guides Batman in his mission whereas an invisible wraith guides Talion.

But shadow Strick, blending your enemy and nemesis system are the new features in the game . looking forward for dragons to be tamed in the next one .There are dragons in mordor right ? I saw sauron riding one

Sauron and the Nazgul ride on nameless beasts which Tolkien referred to as "fell-beasts." Featherless, bat-winged birds... not dragons.

Smaug is generally considered the "last" great dragon. And he is dead by the time that Shadow of Mordor happens. Its non-canonical, but any dragons left would be in the north probably in what used to be Anginor or in the Iron Hills. Mordor is the south-east.
