Non-canon, but worth every penny!
I own this on Steam and must have upward of 600 hours on it since it released. That said, I will be getting the DRM-free version on GOG when it goes on sale.

This game isn't "woke"
I saw a review on this game that called it a "woke piece of trash" who said it was for those that liked "action over quality" which really annoyed me in particular as a guy who 100% the Steam version last year. Namely because it's a disengenous take on a game that is a massive improvement over the last one. I recommend it without hesistation but I have two major nitpicks with this game: 1. I will say right off the bat that if you're a lore-nerd, this game will drive you crazy, but you should have expected it going in from the last game. And while the last game was subtle about it, this one took it to a level where it got me, a causal fan from the movies, going, "WAIT A MINUTE. That didn't happen!" And it's not a case of original characters having major effects but established well-known characters going through events that completely change their role in the story if this was considered canon. But compared to what Rings of Power is doing, this actually has a level of respect for Tolkien lore and what came before. Which is the exact opposite of woke works. 2. The second point is this game continues the long tradition of WB games having really mediocre DLC. Plus they are both focused on the two side characters that I think set off the "woke" accusation: The Blade of Galaderial, a girl boss elf, and Baranor, a black Haradrum. Baranor's DLC is actually a cool idea as it's essentially a rouge-lite in an open-world game with a focuses on the underexplored Easterlings. My problem with it is it doesn't go far enough with the concept mechanically or narratively. The other DLC focuses on BoG, or to give her proper name: "Brie Larson the Elf". Seriously, NOBODY in the SoW community likes this character despite their attempts to set her up as the hero for a possible sequel. And on top of that, you are fighting two new villians that were clearly pandering to China and the DLC has problems with balance as enemies can become immune to a lot of her attacks.

Epic game / but skip the cringe DLC
Game is a blast to play - story pretty solid as well. Just skip/ignore the DLC unless you like cringe.

They did the Shadow Series Dirty
Not to mention Tolkien, it could have been going for a while, the potential was there but this was the nail in the coffin. Sad.
