  While not as groundbreaking or genre-changing as its predecessor, Shadow Of War is still very much worth your time if you loved the previous game, or even if you are new to the franchise and just want to see what all the fuss is about.

  While we think that anyone who enjoyed Shadow of Mordor should submit to the Bright Lord's rule and purchase this DLC for the slight gameplay variations and advanced difficulty, those who aren't really drawn in by it might consider passing it up due to the low replay value and less than stellar storyline. Either way, it's more Shadow of Mordor with some slight twists, and that's still as good a reason as any to go there and back again with one of 2014's most triumphant titles.

  When I recommend Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, it's because of its outstanding dynamic battles with randomized uruk Captains and Warchiefs. The Bright Lord undermines that greatness with a new power that renders those fights irrelevant, and focuses its energies on a big boss battle.

  8.0

  The Bright Lord is a good way to round off Shadow of Mordor’s DLC, finally giving us some real boss-fight closure and allowing us to play as the one character who is more badass than Talion. All in all, it’s a more satisfying offering than Lord of the Hunt and feels more worthy, if not actually essential, but the increased difficulty and shift of focus means it’s more suited to veterans of the main campaign than newcomers who have yet to finish Talion’s story.

  En definitiva, El Señor de la Luz es un DLC bastante decente. Las nuevas habilidades brindan un giro de tuerca a las mecánicas que ya conocíamos de sobra, aportando por el camino un mayor nivel de desafío que encantará a los veteranos de Sombras de Mordor. Pero... (y aquí viene la pregunta del millón) ¿Merece la pena pagar lo que cuesta el DLC? Si el juego principal os gustó y queréis seguir exprimiéndolo sea como sea, entonces sí, sin dudarlo. Sin embargo, es un contenido que de haberse pulido un poco más, sería un DLC más que recomendable.

  Seigneur de Lumière est une sacrée déception. Peut-être parce que le choix du personnage et de l'époque laissait envisager des possibilités trop folles pour les développeurs, mais une fois la partie terminée, on a vraiment l'impression qu'ils ont fait le strict minimum. C'est dommage, tant il y avait à faire. Néanmoins, ceux ayant adoré L'Ombre du Mordor pourront prolonger l'expérience (et donc le plaisir) puisque le DLC en est extrêmement proche.
