shadow of fun

The perfect example of a cash-grab sequal taking two steps forward and five steps back. No thanks. I'd rather play the first game. The controls are horrible. You can toggle sneak but not run. What's the purpose of ever walking in this game if you're not already sneaking? And the entire skills system is about as flexible as a canal filled with cement. Many of the game gimmicks are heavy-handed, forced, and generally anti=player. A good player-punishment simulator, this.

Must have for new and old LOTR fans!

To old LOTR fans who haven't played the Middle Earth games, they are wonderful hack and slash adventure games. Shadow of War is one of the best sequels to an original game out there. The nemesis system is one of the most magical and fun gaming mechanics that I've ever gotten to enjoy in a video game and I can't recommend it enough. To possible new LOTR fans through the show: get this game.

This game is brilliant.

I have just finished this game with 100% on Gravewalker difficulty. There is a great story, mechanics, and world. Dying is very painful because it makes enemies stronger, and playing on Gravewalker difficulty, makes this game a great challenge.I give only four stars because "Blade of Galadriel Story Expansion" was very frustrating to unblock all items - e.g., To unblock one item, I had to kill a few enemies when I was cursed. So, To be cursed, I need to be hit by the captain, which has a cursed weapon, but if all captains have about 60lv, then I'm dead after one hit. So, unblocking all items in a later game is almost impossible. The "Desolation of Mordor Story Expansion" DLC has an excellent idea to play a hero who may die.

5 Years Later Gameplay Feels 2022 worthy

This gameplay holds up to modern games even at 5 years old. Assasins Creed could take a lot of inspiration from this.
