Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

Image: Steam / Monolith Productions

  • Action
  • Open world
  • Fantasy

The sequel to Shadow of Mordor: combat with parries and wraith powers, stealth and an expanded Nemesis system; now the orc captains you dominate form an army you use to storm fortresses in large-scale sieges.

Why play it now

When you have plenty of free evenings and fancy recruiting orcs and storming fortresses with them.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoyed the Nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor and wants more captains and betrayals, plus sieges.

When not to pick it

If padding wears you down: reviews find it bloated, with repetitive loot and a weak story.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 85 out of 100
  • Exploring: 60 out of 100
  • Managing: 45 out of 100
  • Thinking: 40 out of 100
  • Story: 40 out of 100
