Overall quite entertaining
I got introduced to this game by my brother-in-law as he just bought some games for his Xbox and he ended up enjoying it so he got me into it and I'm ngl, I sat up and pulled so many late nights to make progress on this game. Killing the captains can get tough and very addicting when you get some of that sweet legendary loot and having an online army aspect to the game makes it more fun too and YOU CAN AVENGE OTHER PLAYERS???? You know how cool that is?? Some random guy dies from a captain and I slay their murderer to avenge them, it's so cool.
The Pros
- -Overall gameplay
- -Addicting
- -Grinding is actually fun
- -Online aspect
- -Story
- -Side quests
The Cons
- Orange is epic and purple is legendary? Gets confusing sometimes.

A good game with terrible endgame
Shadow of war is a decent sequel to the (still superior) first game, but a solid game nonetheless. Slashing through hordes of enemies is just as fun as it used to be in the first game UNTIL Act 4 that is.

I have no idea what happened halfway throughout the game's development but while the first 3 acts are pretty good, Act 4 turns the game into a pure boring grind that has no respect for the player's time. Either the game was rushed to meet the release date or the budget was used up or the team simply ran out of ideas but the endgame ruins the entire experience and looking at the steam achievement charts, most people stop playing the game before finishing it.
The Pros
- Good graphics
- Decent controls
The Cons
- Turns into a pure mindless grind
Reviewed by Lightoferu 21/04/2022
Epicness untangled
Even more immersive than Shadow of Mordor. It is true that, at least for the beginning, it seems like there is gazillion things to do, which is the case indeed. But there is always a choice to go for 100% completion or go through the main story which is epxpanse and finish it faster. Great combat system, amazing graphics and the storyline is captivating!
The Pros
- Story
- Dragon Riding
- Nazgul Fighting
- Stronghold raids

more than a good improvement
hi . bought this game a while ago . honestly i never finished it because i did not know what to do after a certain point , but in my 30 ish hours playing it , i , for sure was not unhappy of the purchase . in fact the bigger maps and more randomized elements to the decor made me very happy . you can also see more action in this title . there always enemies to fight where ever you go in the map . a plus side can be that sneaking is kinda hard in this game , but rewarding as heck . killin a small platoon of 15 orcs without having an army alerted and brought back as reinforcement is very nice . watch out tho , if such thing happen you might well end up with mounted troops , tougher enemies , ranged ones , as well a a dragon rider up your arse in no time , having to jungle between all them to not die . what also very nice , is that the system of timed attacks that do more than double the damage is back . so you can kill minions in 2-3 perfectly timed hits instead of 7-8-9 or even more . overall a great game now that he is quite old , not grandma old (cough skyrim cough) but not modern thats for sure . even better , you can now find him at great prices here and there , one places being here on cdkeys dot com .
The Pros
- combat system return with improvement
- more enemies per map
- larger maps
- more activities
The Cons
- not enough directions for the main story line after a few introductory mission to the game .

Great Game
Shadow Of War is a game anyone can get into, with or without playing Shadow of Mordor or even knowing about Lord Of The Rings. Being the sequel to the aforementioned Shadow of Mordor, it does everything better than the original. Now that the microtransactions are gone too, the middle and end acts of this game are incredibly fun, just watch out for the beginning. Pick the game up, promise you won't regret it.
The Pros
- The Nemesis System
- Hundreds of Unique Voice lines
- Amazing Story
- Challenging and fun gameplay
The Cons
- Grindy at times
- No Chance is a bullshit mechanic
