Customers are saying

Customers value the engaging gameplay, compelling story, and innovative Nemesis System in Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Many also appreciate the game's substantial content and the option of a lower price point for an older title. While some found aspects repetitive, concerns were raised regarding the inclusion of in-game purchases. The action, difficulty progression, and open-world environment were also frequently praised.

    Poor mechanics. Cheesy graphics. Incoherent and chaotic story line. More of the same-old blah, blah, blah that mistakenly assumes that a daily grind to nowhere is somehow fun. Like World of Warcraft, this is yet another Johnny-Come-Lately dinosaur, not quality like Horizon Zero Dawn..

    Widespread game breaking bug

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! About 30% into the campaign you get a loading screen that never goes away with no way to progress in the game. It is now feb 2018 and it has been a problem since October 2017, negligent developers are not putting out a patch. Check this link for yourself. Please don’t waste your time and money like I did. Very frustrating https://community.wbgames.com/t5/Support/Crash-Freeze-on-starting-quot-The-Etten-quot/td-p/1699206/highlight/false/page/6

    I purchased middle-earth shadows of war inspecting it to be in my mail tomorrow. So I haven't played but I was convinced by watching reviews n stuff. Long story short the game is awesome graphics, kills, strange looking creatures I'm sold. I realized because this is a new game to me. It's a game before this and I think it's a movie. But I can't wait to get to playing.

    Really great!

    I've been really surprised by how good this game is. The story missions are pretty diverse and fun. Controlling armies is addictive. Don't be tuned off by the microtransactions. The game has daily challenges that give you Gold and I only buy the XP boosts. I haven't been tempted to spend any real money. Highly recommended.

    Action packed. GTA: Middle Earth

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very action packed, fun game. It’s basically Grand Theft Auto in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth. It controls well in combat but traversal can be wonky with your character getting stuck on ledges and walls that should be surmountable. Overall a great experience.

    The Definitely improved from the first game. Bigger Map, better graphics and, better speed. I think this game will keep you more occupied than the first one. I hope they can turn it in to another 3 hr movie.
