When it comes to the iconic world of fantasy, very few universes have as much cultural weight and epic scale as JRR Tolkien‘s Middle-earth.
For decades, fans have dreamed of the epic experience of entering those opulent lands, swinging swords against Sauron’s forces, and experiencing the intensity of the battle for the One Ring. Although there have been many attempts to adapt this magic into a video game, Monolith Productions completely struck gold when they decided to tell a dark, personal story more set between events The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
They introduced us to Talion, a guardian of Gondor bound for vengeance, and pioneered a gameplay mechanic that changed action-adventure games forever: the Nemesis System. It was a revolutionary system that produced unique, powerful Orc enemies that remembered your encounter and mocked your defeat (as an Orc would!).
And if you somehow missed this epic saga (or just want to have it again without DRM), you might want to clear some space on your hard drive. GOG just dropped a ridiculously large discount on the last Middle-Earth collection, and it’s almost criminally cheap.
Journey to Mordor Under a Cup of Coffee
Currently, the digital storefront is offering Middle-Earth: A Bunch of Shadows with an unbelievable 91% discount, bringing you the perfect price closed at 7.08 US dollars. To put it plainly, getting a complete epic, two games of this level is cheaper than ordering one fancy coffee at Starbucks – and you can grab this great deal by clicking right here.
By the way, if you decide to separate the individual parts of this fund, the savings are truly dangerous! First, you get Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor currently sitting at a whopping 80% off, dropping from its original price of $18.39 down to just $3.69. And this Game of the Year Edition comes packed with post-launch DLC, including additional story campaigns and unique challenge modes.
But the deal gets even better next: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War marked down 90%, dropping from its regular price of $57.29 to $5.75. Considering that this is the Definitive Edition and includes all the extended stories and playable nations, the amount of content you get here for under six bucks is pretty crazy.
Right now, the digital storefront is offering Middle-earth: Bunch of Shadows for an incredible 91% off, bringing the price down to just $7.08.
So, whether you’re sneaking across the barren plains of Mordor or building an Orc army to besiege the castle walls in Shadow of War, both titles offer fluid combat, satisfying intrigue, endless hours of tactical fun, and a great sense of getting inside Tolkien’s mind. Also, the scale of the second game in particular is huge, and having both direct editions sitting neatly in your library for just over seven dollars almost feels like a steal.
And, because this deal is hosted on GOG, both games are completely DRM-free! That means you own your own copies, without any third-party launchers or online tests interrupting your journey. I don’t know about you, but I’m skipping my next coffee run to lock in this digital bargain. After all, building a personal army of loyal Uruks and defeating the dark forces of Mordor sounds like the best way to spend seven dollars, right?
