  • Middle-earth: Shadow of War's extensive orc variety and improved nemesis system blends extremely well with its hectic combat. While the story is better than the original, the implementation of quests is poor. Attacking and defending forts is great, althou...

  • Narrative has more substance, Nemesis and Ally systems have been revamped and improved upon, environment variety and game length are drastically increased
  • A Grindfest of a 4th Act will not be appealing to most people, dangling microtransactions to quicken the pace in front of the consumer is pretty insulting

  • Abstract:  Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a second chance. It is an opportunity to make a series more memorable. With the original Shadow of Mordor, there was potential. A more rudimentary Nemesis system tried to make enemies grow and matter. Now, with the sequel...

  • Worthy evolution of the Nemesis system, Diverse skills allow Talion to approach combat from entirely different angles, Facing the Balrog and other denizens of Mordor, Great freedom of movement and openworld traversal
  • Orcish followers die too easily, requiring more forceful recruiting practices or luck in the loot box systems, Despite the promises, the story isn't much of an improvement over the predecessor's, Orcs never seem to shut up and there's no option to skip th
  • Building upon the accomplishments of its predecessor and wielding the influence of The New Ring, Middle-earth: Shadow of War should be remembered as Talion's greatest adventure to date...
