    Then you will love this one. You will hear people talking about spending money for ranking you like 2K18, but the problem with people is they don't want to work or don't want a challenge. I am enjoy this game very much.

    This game improves on the previous entry in almost every way. The fortress take overs are fun and so is building your army of orcs. The only real complaint I have regards the inclusion of a loot crate type system. While they are not necessary I don't like to see them in games.

    Hit Sequel to Shadow of Mordor

    Personally I never read much of the Lord of the Rings, or played many of the games. That changed a few years back upon release of Shadow of Mordor. The game was created from former brain trusts behind Assassin's Creed, and Shadow of Mordor plays like one of those titles. Shadow of War is a direct sequel to Mordor, and you reprise the role of Talion once again. The game was released with controversial decisions made (notably micro-transactions), however the developers removed these features, re-balanced the game, and added additional fixes to improve the overall game quality. With all this said, I'm incredibly excited to dig into and start playing Shadow of War.

    Don't worry about the micro-transactions. They aren't required. You'll have enough fun playing that there's no need to even enable that functionality!

    Good Gameplay, Middling Story

    The gameplay is an expanded version of the first entry in the series with some added new elements (i.e. larger amount of orcs to control, base mechanics, more creatures to subsume). The biggest flaw to me is the story. Rather than exist in their own version of Tolkien's world, the game makers tried to stay canonical. This led to some outright ridiculous and nonsensical story choices just to try and maintain a state where the Lord of the Rings trilogy could come after it. So my advice is to enjoy the gameplay but ignore the story after a point.

    Orcs got a major upgrade. Story line isn't great but the game mechanics are fun especially as you upgrade your character.

    Shadow of Mordor was a great game, but Shadow of War ratchets up every aspect of its predecessor to create a truly awesome game. From the graphics to the huge map to the various orc tribes to the fortress management... there's so much packed into this game. If you liked the first one, you'll love this one!

    Includes full game, season pass and some additional content. For the price I paid it was a great value. The game is good but did take me a few hours to get use to it. Slightly steep learning curve. But I will say tons of replay value and very satisfied after getting use to gameplay. Very happy
