You are a merciless tornado of ruin touching down in an unforgiving world of battle and domination, and embracing that unfettered power is a joy

9/10
Similar to the way Batman: Arkham City built on the foundation of Arkham Asylum, Middle-earth: Shadow of War is bigger and more ambitious in scope than Shadow of Mordor, with great results. The way it expands the Nemesis system with far greater variety and fortress sieges makes even better use of the stand-out generated characters, and its battles with memorable uruk captains remain challenging all the way through the campaign and into the clever asynchronous multiplayer beyond.

A huge Lord of the Rings experience that's always enjoyable, although its scale leaves it straining at the seams at times.

Shadow of War, a great game.

This game is super fun. Only issue is the lore inacuracy, and the fact Microsoft is a greedy POS for pattening the Nemesis system and not actually making another game with it!

Excelent!

The first game (Shadow of Mordor) is already amazing, but this second game is even better. Great experience, strongly recommend.

Interesting story - familiar mechanics

Interesting plot. Mechanics lean heavily on what was introduced in the previous game, however.
