About The Game

The sequel to the critically-acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor™, winner of more than 50 industry awards, launches this August, featuring an original story with the return of Talion and Celebrimbor, who must go behind enemy lines to forge an army and turn all of Mordor against the Dark Lord, Sauron.

Set between the events of The Hobbit™ and The Lord of the Rings™, experience an epic open world brought to life by the award-winning Nemesis System. Forge a new Ring of Power, conquer Fortresses in massive battles and dominate Mordor with your personal orc army.

In Middle-earth: Shadow of War™, players wield a new Ring of Power and confront the deadliest of enemies, including Sauron and his Nazgul, in a monumental battle for Middle-earth. The robust personalization from the first game is now applied to the entire world where the environments and characters are all shaped by player actions and decisions, creating a personal world unique to every gameplay experience.

The innovative Nemesis System created unique personal stories through procedurally-generated enemies who remember every encounter and are differentiated by their personality, strengths and weaknesses. Middle-earth: Shadow of War™ expands this innovation with the introduction of Followers who bring about entirely new stories of loyalty, betrayal and revenge.

The Nemesis System is also expanded to create a unique personal world through Nemesis Fortresses, which allows players to utilize different strategies to conquer dynamic strongholds and create personalized worlds with their unique Orc army.

In Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™, nothing will be forgotten.

A great improvement on the game mechanics from Shadow of Mordor. They really knew what they wanted as an end game and the sieges are a great addition. However, I found myself lost in the mechanics (finding hidden items, expanding my army) and didnt really care for the story. Characters would show up once in a while but i'd forgotten their goals. Overall, i've played quite a few hours of this game, but unfortunately, didnt see it to its completion.

I enjoyed the different types of orcs that was found and how each had their own personality. Especially how they each could cheat death and then gained new quirks with how they were which was also a fun mechanic
