    This is a great sequel, very well made, the history and characters will envolve you to the end just as the previews one, a lot of action and stealth very fun and addictively.

    Just a heads up, I bought this game when it was on sale for $7. I skipped it in the beginning because of the whole micro-transactions fiasco. But for $7 I think it's a fun game. So i recommend it for that price =D

    Bought for my some who just bought a PS4 and he loves the gameplay, the challenges are not overwhelming at first but become more difficult over time. He didn't read much before starting and was immersed almost at the start

    Not as good as I wanted, but it reminds me of Gauntlet and some similarities to the PS2 version of Lord of Rings - Two Towers. Definitely worth owning at this price of around 10 bucks!

    A great sequel to a great game. Expands on the nemesis system allowing to create multiple armies and conquer territory. Wish they had done more for multiplayer but other then that, near perfect game.

    Even if you didn't read the books or watch the movies you will enjoy this one. Can be repetitious in the beginning but give it time. Hey, that was one of the answers to a riddle!

    Great mechanics much as the first one (Shadow of Mordor) with the unique Nemesis system that lets enemies remember when they defeat you and will taunt you if/when you run into them again. Seriously fun.

    I would recommend beating the first game if you haven't, because this game picks up right where that left off. It expands a ton on game play and exploration and wow just wow. Get it!
