    Game is very similar to the first, the micro transactions/loot crates are ridiculous, for that reason alone I do not recommend anyone buy this game

    My kid keep asking for this game but was kind of expensive but we got it in Black Friday. As soon as we got home my kid play the game and base on what he was saying this turn to be a game that he expect it and the price was right 30dls.

    I'm enjoying it. So far nothing super different from the original but not that far in had to wait for fall break to have time to play. Probably wouldn't say it's worth full price, wait till it's on sale with expansions and bonus content.

    Decent game. Reminds me of Assassin's Creed but with orcs etc... Gameplay consisted of running around and slaughtering all the bad guys. Gets better the further into the game you go.

    If you played the first game this one is similar in many ways. The nemesis system is fantastic and the combat is simple and fun.

    Great follow-up to the first installment. Tons of fun to take over fortresses with the help of your dominated orcs. No two players will ever play the same game, therefore plenty of replay value as well

    It is a lot like Shadow of Mordor but they've added a few fun things like building an army and conquering cities if you are strong enough. Everything else is pretty much like it's predecessor.

    It's a good game with great graphics. I wish they would have had the ability of an online world that you could play with friends. It has the same fighting style as mad max.

    All in all a competently made game, the world feels a bit too big for what you can do within it, and the fortress battles, while exciting, feel somewhat like a disappointment given the way they were presented initially.

    I’m always looking for fun games that will actually be playable offline, instead of primarily online. This meets that great, and it has a fairly well implemented online portion as well.
