Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

This is without a doubt one of the best games I've ever played, but I have never seen a dumber siege mechanic. The combat feels better than Shadow of Mordor, but it can be VERY picky with what it wants to do. Multiple times I spent 5 MINUTES trying to dominate a Captain and for whatever reason, Talion kept using the hammer to freeze them or try to dominate a random target 15 feet away. The same targeting system has also made me lose Orcs because for whatever reason if I ran to close to an arc or wall, Talion would start scaling and waste precious seconds taking in the scenery. MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW After the ending, you get placed in a chapter called Shadow Wars where you must defend your fortress against waves of Orcs. The only reason why I'm leaving this negative review is because I died to the LAST orc on the LAST wave. Absolutely stupid that all that effort taking over the fort was lost due to one guy at 5% HP surrounded by friendlies and branded Orcs. Apparently you're supposed to keep going to get the secret ending, but that one slip up made me realize I'm not gonna spend 4 hours defending castles for a silly little cutscene. It's an excellent game, but ♥♥♥♥ like this occurring throughout really adds up fast and makes the player not want to continue.

Awesome game, the Nemesis System being locked in a vault with no plans for further use is truly a tragedy for gaming. Most of my time spent in this game was with getting to know random NPC's orcs personalities and behaviors and watching them go from nothing to warlord. Really fun if you get into making your own stories. 7/10

Repetitive

故事是在霍比特人和魔戒之间，美术音乐剧情（才玩到第一章）真的很好，但是，清空地图的精英怪，每次小兵还是刷一大堆，砍10分钟还要先躲藏，杀兽人精英每次都被周围的小兵a死，好累，砍小兵真的砍好累

5/10 I only recommend this game to a point. It has a great story, beautiful landscapes, and is overall very fun to play through the main game similar to the fist one. But, once you reach endgame I can no longer defend it. This is due to the famous Nemesis System. It was done well in the first game, however in this one they decided to take it up about 20 notches. In this game you must conquer forts, specifically in the endgame to unlock the epilogue. Problem is sometimes they will have literally unkillable bosses. Immune to fire, immune to frost, immune to poison, immune to this, immune to that, immune to literally every single thing you have. Oh, and then the boss also has dark magic, poison, one hundred wargs with him, etc. What do they expect us to do? It literally locks you out of the ending. To me that is unforgivable, it would be one thing if it was optional, but to lock a part of the story behind this is ridiculous.

An absolute masterpiece with almost infinite gameplay value

I hold a deep appreciation for the Tolkien universe, and as such, this particular game has earned a significant position within my gaming collection. Upon its release, this title was lauded for its exceptional graphics, compelling story missions, and overall distinction. It represented an unprecedented and diverse 3D interpretation of the Tolkien world, making a profound statement within the gaming community. I extend my gratitude and highly recommend this game to all, as it offers engaging and stimulating missions.🧙‍♂️🧝🏼💍🍃🗡️
