I love lord of the rings and this game doesn’t disappoint. It offers a lot of hours of gameplay and the story which adds to the TOTR franchise. Plus you get all the dlcs that were released.

The game takes some adjusting if you've played the first one. However, once you get used to it the gameplay is flawless. The graphics and cinematics are breathtaking. The gameplay feels like the original yet revolutionized. I heard alot of complaining about the ending gameplay because it used to take hours to finish, but the game has been updated so that the "shadow wars" are significantly shorter. This is one of my favorite games and it test your skills.

If you like the first Shadow of Mordor game then you'll like this one controls are almost identical but some of the other stuff is a little different fun to play and it's pretty long and has all the DLC included

I passed this game up when it released because of the predatory micro transactions and the grindy endgame. However, I'm pleasantly surprised that they've fixed a lot of the issues with the game and it's a good time. It's not especially faithful to Tolkein, but it's an enjoyable story and really fun gameplay.

I was going to buy the DLC's seperately, but for under $20 it was a better deal to by the definitive edition. Smooth ordering online and picked up at the store to save on shipping.

9.5/10 game all day, especially if you're a LOTR fan! Amazing graphics, fluid combat system & a great story. The DLC quests alone are worth buying at $20
