    For those on the fence, the gold edition comes in a nice case and includes all content from the definitive edition.

    If you can get past the microtransaction controversy this is a great game for fans of the LOTR Universe

    This is my favorite game since Final Fantasy 7 hands down. The lore is solid but there's something awesome about the fort system that leaves me wanting to play all the time. It's been awhile since I've enjoyed this game this much. Almost like a Lord of the Rings Assassins Creed

    My ex bought me this for last christmas and after 8 months I finally decided it was time to play it. So I went to best buy, traded it in on a copy of the gold edition, and came back to enjoy it. Overall the game is fun. I'd recommend it for 29.99 but not at full price.

    Like the game but feels a little outdated. Would prefer a straight up Lord of the Rings game as the story isn't anything special. Combat identical to Arkham series. Loved Shadow of Mordor though so maybe my expectations were too high..

    The gold edition is the way to go as it includes season pass. I'm playing on the one x which looks fantastic, be prepared for a lot of downloads and even more if you have a one x and are going to take advantage of 4k textures and cinematics which are additional downloads.

    When this game came out it had an absolutely horrible end game that required massive grind or additional purchases. Now that those are gone, the game is much much better. If you liked the first game you will like this. It is essentially Assassin's Creed set in Middle Earth.

    I can't say I didn't enjoy this game, but as someone who isn't much of a LOTR fan, it just didn't draw me in like I was hoping. The gameplay is solid as it's the same type of combat from the Arkham games.
