Yeah I played that. The combat system was …boring…? Also, there was like, no real story. The nemesis system was just kind of eh. Like even on the highest difficulty the fights were incredibly easy.
When I saw the previews, I thought it would be this game detailing the corruption of one of the kings who took the ring into eventually becoming a full wraith (like as you use the ring more, you become more corrupted but gain more powers.) But I found the story to be meandering and kind of like, inconsequential.
If the nemesis system resulted in ‘me’ the main character of the game effectively becoming a general in Sauron’s army, and becoming fully corrupted by the ring with almost godlike powers, being challenged morally to make the right decision, but my human weakness causes me to draw upon the power of the ring, giving into it almost inevitably, now that would have been a good game.

Is this one worth playing?
Need something for after the Witcher.
How about shadows of Mordor?

Definitely yes. Just the ost alone keeps me coming back to play it. It’s not the same as the Witcher as people have already pointed out.
It’s worth playing for the music alone. If you like other platinum games, you’ll probably like it.
Definitely, is just fun
Nier is definitely worth playing, but I consider it pretty different from the Witcher
Yeah I’m fine with that, I just picked up witcher because it would work well on deck and I’d never played it.
This is uplifting news. This dude deserves a medal.
