Game Review: Middle Earth – Shadow of War

I will be honest, when Shadow of War was first announced, and even though I had immensely enjoyed the first game, there were parts of me that felt that another game may get boring if most of the mechanics were the same, and the main reason I was looking forward to the game was due to how Celebrimbor...

Middle-earth: Shadow of War review

AGGGGHHG, I'M DYING HORRIBLY. That's also what you sound like.” Also world is massive and you can move very quickly around after only a couple hours, assassins creed style free running and batman style combat.

Amazing game all round

I havent had any problems about loot crates at all like many people speculatively complained about And the gameplay is even better than the first game

Phenominal Game! Great Story. 100+ Hours of gameplay!

Almost game of the year contender.
