So after some back and forth with @osubuckeye4 over RPGs the other day I decided to pick up the GOTY edition of this hack and slash RPG today.
I had played a bit of it at a friends awhile back but it didn't do it justice as it can be tricky to jump into an RPG without going through the learning process.
The player control you have it outstanding and the missions can be tough if you don't think them through and take on too many enemies. You do missions but also target and kill Orc and Uruk captains to gain abilities and XP.
Nothing too crazy about the talent and rune system for abilities but damn it is fun. Story is told well about a world we're almost all somewhat familiar with.
Overall this game is fun as hell

These games look really cool but I'm not great at video games even though I love playing them. How's the difficulty/learning curve?

The game at the beginning can be really difficult if you don't play it right. Stealth is the name of the game........especially at the beginning. After you get some special abilities you can destroy most anything but at the start it can be tough.
I started out just trying to bum rush orcs and ended up dying a lot. The beauty of this game is when you get killed that orc gets stronger.......the level doesn't just reset.

Sounds great, the nemesis system sounds really cool. If I catch it on sale I might pop on it or hopefully its a PS+ game soon.

Solid use of stealth and your bow and arrows was key early. Done right you could get 3-4 shots in and pull the big guys away from other orcs.

I just checked amazon and it's currently $20 for the GOTY edition, which I believe includes the DLC. I'm looking for something to play after I eventually finish MGSV, looks like this is it.

Let me know what you think. I was able to play for a very short time and liked what I saw so far.

Going to be a while. MGSV is a loooong game, and with my pace of play I probably have a month or two left.
