    My 19 y/o son is a huge fan of the first game so I purchased SoW for his birthday, and he is very impressed. Game is beautiful and has a lot of content.

    The first game was very good, but lacked something. This game builds on that. It is well worth the money and helps bring you into the world of Tolkien.

    If you enjoyed the first game, Shadow of Mordor, you will love Shadow of War. The nemesis system is back and better than ever, allowing you to engage in a unique story arc, while exploring the expansive map and sheer size of the game.

    Shadow of mordor was fun but this is much better in my opinion. The 4k graphics are incredible and the siege battles are a great bonus as well.

    The game looks great, but has a lot to master in order to be effective in fighting monsters. Be prepared to grind a lot on this one!

    Fun Game! A little repetitive like the first game but expanded to include more of Middle Earth with 2 other playable characters. The game still has the Nemesis System which was in my opinion the most enjoyable part of the first game. Nothing is more satisfying than exacting revenge on an Orc Captain that had previously defeated you!

    If you liked Shadow of Mordor you'll know what your getting into with Shadow of War. The game is great and better than the original. It tends to get a bit long in Act 4 of the story, but other than that it is a solid game
