Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Expansion Pack
Release Date: February 24, 2015
The Bright Lord is the second DLC to Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor developed by Monolith Productions. The expansion takes us to the distant past where we play as Celebrimbor. Remembering how much the Dark Lord hurt his family, Celerbrimor declares war on Sauron and tries to stop him from getting his hands on the Ring of Power. Unlike Talion, the protagonist of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - The Bright Lord can use the power of the One Ring.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – The Bright Lord for PC, PS4 and etc. is the second big DLC for the well-received action game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. The game, where gameplay focuses on the unique Nemesis system, takes the players to the world known from the Lord of the Rings and gives them a chance to face hordes of orcs that roam the Middle-earth. In The Bright Lord DLC, despite the fact that gameplay remains unchanged, players control a completely new character and the action takes place in different times.
This time, we play as Celebrimbor, an elven king who decided to stand against the evergrowing power of Sauron and stop him from gettings his hands on what in Celebrimbor’s opinion threatens the safety of the entire world, the One Ring that Sauron once crafted. The fact that the Dark Lord had caused Celebrimor’s family a lot of suffering only motivates our hero for his one-man vendetta.
In comparison with the base game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – The Bright Lord for PC, PS4 and etc. uses slightly different combat mechanics – Celebrimbor is a much better archer, he is more agile, and has the powers of the One Ring at his disposal. He can use it to mind control his opponents and even force them to fight with each other. From time to time we can use it to become invisible, which allows us to use a couple of new tactics.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – The Bright Lord for PC, PS4 and etc. does not introduce any changes when it comes to visuals. Textures are still of the highest quality, our hero and his enemies are still smoothly animated, and the game’s world still uses grimm and mysterious colour scheme.

Game Ratings for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - The Bright Lord Video Game.
High-Def Digest: 2.5 / 5 by Levi van Tine
The dearth of narrative momentum or any characterization whatsoever is the most severe flaw of 'The Bright Lord'. I didn't mind returning to Mordor for a few hours, but the constant stream of timed missions and lack of real content or story means that I'll be forgetting what happened pretty quickly. This is season pass content so if you liked the original enough to commit to the pass, you might as well get your money's worth. If not, there's no need to pick it up.

A disappointing follow-up to an amazing game.
IGN: 6.8 / 10 by Dan Stapleton
Playing as The Bright Lord Celebrimbor isn't bad, but it's a big step away from what makes Shadow of Mordor special.
