    I've only played a few hours of the campaign, but so far Shadow of War has the same solid gameplay and cool Nemesis system that I loved from the original.

    I am loving Shadow of War. They took the fighting system from Batman and perfected it, the parcore from Assassin's Creed and perfected it, blah blah blah, just go play it!!!

    I enjoyed the first one and this game is fun too but it’s pretty much the same game. I was hoping for them to mix it up a little with some new features but it has same exact feel. If it’s on sale it’s worth it

    Enjoyable, becomes repetitive and overly complex in the domination stages as the game progresses. Really do enjoy the combat architecture, again would be more enjoyable if it didn't remain so repetitive. Overall a good game, wished for DLC after completing the first installment Shadow of Mordor. At the current price point and anything below, I feel it's very worth of your time.

    Quite possibly the best of the Xbox One X Enhanced games. The visuals are stunning on a fully compatible 4K screen, and the gameplay is terrific. I love the non-stop action of the combat system and especially its flexibility to be adapted to your own play style. Most of the voice acting also happens to be very good, although Celebrimbor's non-stop whining gets annoying after a while lol.

    This game starts off with a lot more fighting then the first one and it is almost immediate. If you were a fan of Shadow of Mordor, you need to play this game!

    By far one of my favorite games this year. It’s predecessor, Shadow of Mordor was a great game and this even larger open world sequel does not disappoint!

    I LIKED THE FIRST GAME (SHADOW OF MORDOOR). AND THIS WAS A DECENT SEQUEL....IT JUST....IDK. I FELT LIKE I WAS PUTTING HOURS AND HOURS INTO A REHASH OF THE SAME GENERAL GAMEPLAY AS THE FIRST GAME WITH NOTHING REALLY NEW. MY BEST COMPLIMENT IS THAT ITS STORY IS GOOD. NOT GREAT. REALLY GOOD. MY BIGGEST CRITIQUE IS THAT IT IS JUST....TOO LONG....FOR A GAME THAT BASICALLY DOESN'T DO MUCH TO ADVANCE BEYOND "AND THEN THIS HAPPENED". IT'S A FUN WAY TO KILL 40+ HOURS THOUGH LOL.

    You can get this game on sale for $10 pretty frequently. After all the QOL updates they did after the justified complaining, this game is now what it should have been. Super fun. So much to do. Looks great. Definitely worth it now opposed to when I originally got it on release day. It’s like a completely different game now.
