    This game is fantastic. It's essentially a perfected version of Shadow of Mordor. The nemesis system is my favorite.

    The game is great. It has awesome game mechanic and is quite fun for some time. Obviously games like this get old after you play the heck out of it or 100% it, but if you are looking for a new game why not give it a go. Cheap price too, got it for $8! Can't beat that for hours of fun!

    Everything that was great about the first one with the addition of weapon customization. The inclusion of loot boxes is disappointing but so far has not impacted my enjoyment of the game.

    Shadow of war is a great sequel to an amazing first game. While the game does have microtransactions they can be completely ignored. The game feels refined and visually better than ever.

    After playing the first one a couple years ago, this one picks up where you left off. They didn’t change much in the controls so easy to continue. As always tons of material and quests.

    This is the best-looking game I have for Xbox One X on 4K HDR. Some things are weird, like Shelob being an elven lady, but you should probably throw out the Tolkien canon when playing.
