A previous PS4 game of the year has been reduced to $1.99 for a limited period as part of a new PlayStation Store offer. The game does not have a PS5 version, although the PS4 version is playable on the PS5 via backward compatibility. Meanwhile, the game’s special pricing, which is regularly $19.99, is only available until September 14. After September 14, the PS4 game will revert to its regular pricing.
The game in issue was released in 2014, which is largely regarded as one of the worst years in gaming history. Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mario Kart 8, Destiny, Bayonetta 2, Shovel Knight, Hearthstone, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Dark Souls II, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Far Cry 4, Alien: Isolation, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Valiant Hearts: The Great War, and The Banner Saga are just a few of the great releases this year.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, a game of the year winner for many, was also published in 2014. As you may recall, there were two major game of the year winners in 2014: Dragon Age: Inquisition and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Indeed, the latter received so many honors that it received a game of the year edition, which is the aforementioned $1.99 game.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, developed by Monolith Productions and released by WB Games, is an action-adventure game with a unique tale set between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings cinematic trilogies. It received an 87 on Metacritic at the time of its release and sold successfully, leading to the 2017 sequel Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
“You are Talion, a Ranger of the Black Gate, keeping watch over Mordor, which has remained undisturbed for ages,” according to the game’s official product description. “Everything is taken from you in the blink of an eye: your friends, your family, and even your own life.” You have been resurrected by an angry ghost and must now go on a never-ending revenge against those who have harmed you.Fight your way across Mordor, uncovering the reality of the spirit that drives you, discovering the origins of the Rings of Power, building your legacy, and finally confronting the darkness of Sauron in this new Middle-Earth narrative.”
