Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

Basically the original with more stuff

So it's assassin's creed with their counter based combat and having to listen to long arse cut scenes mid combat with a LOTR theme. The jump mechanics (or lack there of) of sleeping dogs. As in you can't jump willy nilly you can only jump jumpable objects and you better believe that's going to make for some awkward running into walls and not leaping off ledges when you want to which leads to swift death by the orcs chasing you. But as that doesn't impact the game much I guess eh? It's interesting not to have a save game and just roll with dying all the time. Spawning is also fairly broken, you might clear the area for a mission and be innocently looking at where you ended up and suddenly the map repopualtes and you're in the middle of a orc camp. Or you're just instakilled. Did I mention the long arse cut scenes? Like every death (alright incentive not to die) or any time a captain sees you. I just don't get why the whole world slows down (well obviously otherwise we'd die in the conversation) just to listen to the green skin ramble on. No it's not racist to call them greenskins they started it by calling me a pink skin.
