Shadow Of War is much bigger than its predecessor, offering more orcs, more gear, more to conquer, and your very own orc army.

If you just want to hunt some orcs, and don't go into Shadow Of War wanting to re-live Lord Of The Rings, this game delivers on that in more ways than I can possibly count.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is great for veterans and tough for newcomers, but a joy to play for either party once you get a hang of the mechanics. It gets tedious at times, and there are missed opportunities here and there, but the Nemesis System that was a beacon of success in the first game has come back bigger and better than ever. It's definitely a return to Middle-earth that is worth the play, and an homage to Tolkien's works that everyone can appreciate.
