Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

This game holds up seriously well

very good game, and i just played 10 h

A nicer broad stroke than in the first game of what it might be like to schlep through Mordor like a fantasy superhuman-ninja with a cranky ancient elf for an alter ego. However this game is meant to off-balance you at times no matter how good you get at their clunky “commit-to-another-wall-roll-I-never-wanted-to-do-for-the-throusandsth-time” controls and tends to try and force (or strongly bring about) at least some player deaths in order to help promote their NEMSIS and “last chance” system – which never really evolves or devolves aside from how many of the orcs you control in any given city. A wise player of games once said: “Level up and the world levels up with you.” Well that is essentially true here by which picking skills (lol) and ticking off many upgrades (and dare I say even learning the controls) does not do much to make you feel like you are in fact a superhero who ever gained any real ground and traction inside enemy territory. That said, the basic combat is easy to master and you will have fun spanking and demoting most of the captains once you figure out all the basic ways you can do that – that is, until the next time you are suddenly giving your health meter a very concerned look because the game logs want to put you down for another player death. Once you accept this system it might not be so bad but the game would have some much welcome depth if there were more extremes experienced regarding both dominating areas and being overwhelmed by them (like when we are still new to them and must tread more carefully and so on). But no matter how much orc rear you are kicking the orc war-machine never stops outputting its endless supplies of troops and reinforcements. If Shadow of War is a beach you try and shape at all then the waves wash back over everything quickly indeed and reset your work often. It’s essentially a home arcade game and not at all a rich malleable fantasy world where you can feel in control after reasonable learning curve has been surmounted. Aside from the washy unreliable controls and niche anti-player game-play design it can still be a fun sandbox for wrecking the orc-kin. Just don’t go taking this title or its non-affect on your strategic mind seriously at all and you’ll do just fine. And for huge sale only. About 5-10$ for everything but online seems about right.

once you get to the act II the game become a 100x time better

This game is one of the best games i've ever played period.
