    Bad endgame

    The game is actually pretty fun for the main story but there is an endgame that feels tacked on and super repetitive. It makes you grind for 10 hours before a final cutscenes. Other than that I enjoyed it. Worth your time until the end.

    Great game. The nemesis system makes playing so much fun. Being able to build a repour with the orc captains and hunt and kill them is amazing. Controlling your army makes the game interesting.

    I have no complaints other then It being very similar to the first. They did make some changes, but they werent as drastic as expected. Game play is still smooth, game is still challenging.

    They took everything that was great about the first game and improved on all of it. Plenty of time can be sunk in trying to build your army to take over morder and every second is a blast.

    If you've played the first, you will love the second! The Nemesis system is what keeps me coming back to this daily! The siege missions when you have many followers are the most satisfying!

    Excellent sequel to the first game. Graphics are great, and the gameplay is instantly familiar to fans of the original. Get ready to spend many hours in front of your TV with this one.

    This game improves on all the nuances of the first. Great open world exploration and steep difficulty when fighting higher level foes enticing you to find the right areas to fight in.

    This game looks and plays great! It improves on everything I loved about the first and although I’m not done with it, I know I’m gonna get at least 50 hrs of play. Totally worth it

    I bought this game to show off my Xbox One X graphics and boy did it not let me down. I also enjoyed playing the first version, so I thought the second one would be great as well.

    If you liked the first game you will love this one. Game has depth for a fighting game. Not to much of a button masher but has repetitive moments. A little planning goes a long way.

    If you’re a fan of the original Shadow of Mordor game that came out a few years ago then be ready for more of the same, but greatly improved upon gameplay. A must buy for all fans!

    I’ve seen people give it a good or ok rating. But I won’t lie, this game is just as great as the first. Everything good about the first one returns (game play wise) and more added.

    Decent game but needs more. It's alot of repetitive missions. Story is ok. It's a grind constant upgrade type game. Combat is fun. If you liked the first one you will like this one. Downside is they almost force you to buy lootchests so you can up certain items and weapons.

    Fun game. Lots of mindless orc killing with missions on the side. Not the most difficult game, especially of you played the 1st one but sometimes that's nice. Glad I bought it.
