Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ Definitive Edition

I loved Shadow of Mordor, and Shadow of War continued to scratch that LOTR-esque itch. The battles are huge - you have the constant threat of Orcs betraying you mid-combat, dragons flying overhead and the imminent smell of victory/defeat by keeping enemies at bay beyond your fortress or storming into an enemy's base to take it for your own. The game, like the original, has a great skill tree system for upgrading Talion and Celebrimbor's abilities too. If you played and enjoyed Shadow of Mordor, it's definitely worth checking out this sequel!

If you've played the first game, this is much the same, but with a few evolutions. The combat is a bit smoother, and the world has more choice (though still limited by the story). There are many more skills to try and therein lies different paths, and at the end of the day, play styles. You can tailor your hero to how you want to play the game, by choosing your skill path. For newcomers, who haven't played the first title, this is an action adventure, set in the realms of 'The lord of the Rings' & 'The Hobbit'. It is a game of combos, a little stealth and a touch of strategy. IT is not as deep as it first mat appear, but that's not really a bad thing, as it is easy to pick up and play, and lets you feel like you have mastered it and become quite a powerful character in doing so. It is fun, and definitely worth picking up, especially if you can find it on sale.

Great game. It improves on the 1st one greatly. It's like Lord of the Rings and Assassin's Creed had a baby

action filled with good mechanics, good game.

Really good game, it's like Shadow of Mordor but with more enemies, more abilities, bigger map, and a way bigger story. Plus, you are wearing a ring of power in this game, who doesn't love that?

This entire game is a gimmick. If you’re not playing it for the Nemesis System, chances are you’re going to be disappointed… And that’s coming from someone who really liked the first game in the series.
