    Shadow of War is a solid action game that recreates Tolkien's Lord of the Rings mythology. The character acting, expressions, and art work are all amazing and engaging. CON: Game play is repetitive.

    This game is a lot of fun. Big open world and very immersive. They added a few new elects to keep you more engaged with upgrading armor/weapons. Still the same look and feel as the last game though.

    I am only about 20% done but there is so much left to do. The map is expansive and the hunting of captains is very fun.

    What can I say about this follow up to Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor? Great sequel that carries on the superb gameplay and story of the first game.you would think by now that there wasn't much more you could do with Tolkien's franchise but they manage to keep things fresh and interesting.
