Many also praised the game's action, content, open world, and value for the price. However, some players found the difficulty level challenging and expressed concerns about the inclusion of in-game purchases. A few also mentioned that the controls and the amount of repetitive gameplay needed to progress could be improved.

    It's a decent game if you want to kill time and liked the first one. But, it's pay to win engineering turned me off. Sad because I had high hopes for this after the first one being so good

    I think of these games as a sort of Assassin's Creed soaked in LOTR lore with the added Nemesis ally/rival system, which is pretty developed and adds a layer of personality to the game. I loved it.

    I am not too far in to the campaign. It is enjoyable so far. Especially if you are a fan of the first game.

    I didn’t play the first one so I was sceptical going into this one. Watched game play on YouTube before purchasing to get a little preview. I only have about 2 hours in but I am loving it so far.

    This game is great. The AI is so smart and so much fun to play against Because the AI is smart it makes the game feel more immersive. The graphics are also on point. Plus it's xbox one x enhanced.

    Shadow of Mordor was such a good game, and Shadow of War takes that game and makes it even better. If you like open world games like Assassin's Creed, you will like Shadow of War.

    The original game was my favorite game issued for the PS4. The second installment of the series is equally as good, if not better. If you enjoy action/adventure RPG games, this is a definite buy.

    The Xbox One game to rule them all? Maybe not. A very strong offering though. You won’t be disappointed.

    Middle Earth Shadow of War picks up where Shadow of Mordor left off, but bringing slightly better graphics and gameplay to the table. I enjoyed M.E. Shadow of Mordor, but Shadow of War seems to be even better. If this were a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 9.

    Just getting started with this tittle and so far there are subtle differences from the first one like focus shots aren’t marked as bright and the towers to fast travel require finding an artifact by looking down. Action is better and I like that you work with other characters.

    My son has this for a while and still enjoys playing. We are big LOTR fans, but I think that you will like this game even if you are unfamiliar with the movies or the books

    This game is very fun, kind of like the Batman and Spiderman combat with Orcs and other Lord of the Rings characters. Beautiful graphics, looks great on my 4K TV!
