Shadow of Mordor PC bundle on sale for $5.99 this week

Few games have captured the essence of open-world combat, stealth and storytelling as convincingly as Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Released by WBIE two years ago, it stars an undead ranger, hellbent on killing as many Orcs as possible. Its central innovation was to create a shifting hierarchy among enemies, so that the player could create narrative relationships with those they sought to hunt and slay.

If you're a Windows PC owner and you haven't played Mordor yet, there's an eye-catching offer going on this week at online retailer Bundle Stars. The Game of the Year bundle, including a whole raft of DLC, is on sale for $5.99. The deal is good through Aug. 21.

Other games currently on offer at Bundle Stars include Megadimension Neptunia VII, Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada.
