Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

Always been a fan of Warner Bros games, Mad Max, Batman etc. Played Shadow of Mordor back in 2017, now SoW price is very low now, revisit the similar but much more content game :)

Shadow of War is a great sequel to Shadow of Mordor. The game expands on everything introduced in the first game while still keeping the gameplay refreshing. However, not everything is an improvement from the first game. I personally feel that the story was not as good this time around. There are still good moments and story beats. But the overall package feels a bit lacking. I do like how Talion's story ended but the way the game got there had some bumps along the way. The gameplay loop was a lot of fun but I felt that I had unlocked everything earlier than I would have liked. I think I would have liked to see more abilities locked behind mission completion. The DLC campaigns were also a ton of fun and mixed up the gameplay loop in a way that felt new and interesting. I think I had more fun with the Desolation of Mordor DLC than I did The Blade of Galadriel. The Desolation of Mordor DLC mixed things up the most and made the gameplay have more stakes with the gimmick of losing everything if you die. The new mechanics it introduced and the progression of the gameplay/story were so insanely fun. The overall package was fantastic and this is still one of the best games I have played even with my criticisms. 5/5

It Was A Pretty Good Game With Great Story

Yes

I am not sure, who is to blame. Monolith probably. Maybe Ubisoft. But the Nemesis-System is a brilliant idea and should not be gatekept! Alas, there is only one way to experience having your custom foes, that make your journey personal, and that is this game. And its predecessor of course. Anyway: it's a very enjoyable game with a smooth combat system, tons of auto-generated content, tailored for YOU.
