    This game is great. The combat feels awesome and the nemesis system is really fun. The story is pretty boring but the gameplay more than makes up for it!

    The game is much like its predecessor but improved in every way. The game is a little harder and much longer as well. If you like the first game you will like this sequel as well

    The nemesis system is better than ever with more unique orcs and more scenarios to overcome. Still a blast after dozens of hours poured into this game.

    While not as good as the first, Shadow of War does deliver what all Middle-Earth fans want: The chance to go inside that world and live it. Great graphics and story.

    Huge game and alot of fun to play. Challenging but not overwhelming for the casual gamer. If you are a Tolkien fan, you will like this game.

    Great addition to the first one without a doubt. A new interesting story in this world is always fun, and you feel invincible once you get all the moves down again.

    Aside from possible story/universe creative freedoms (Shelob the spider is a brunette hottie?) the story is pretty good. Fighting orcs gets you better equipment hence looting. Add in side missions, weapon upgrade missions, elf poem door missions, etc. and you’ve got a lot to do. Upgrading is solid via exp point accruals and skills are generally useful. Kinda dumb that you have to unlock ability to auto pickup items. Fighting is fun and expanded, very similar to Batman games. At some point you can fly on the drakes. #goals

    Shadow of War is graphically sound and fun to play. But after about 5 hours in starts to get pretty repetitive. For $30 though I can’t really complain.

    I liked the first one but this one is even better. I really like the combat system, the stealth, the wraith abilities, etc. Seriously a really fantastic game. I could see how it could get repetitive if you were not doing the story or side quests as there are hundreds of orcs to kill, but it is extremely satisfying to kill them and gain exp and new abilities. I find myself spending most of my time using the wraith ability to find the white orcs (red ones are normal, white ones drop loot) and captains.

    The gameplay is very similar to the orginal LOR game that came out a couple of years ago. However the story and the graphics are impressive.
