Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Latest in each market: best BR #46, worst PL #83 · 2 markets collected
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 15.43/day in the week to Aug 27 → 23.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I love the game, it's really one of the best science fiction games I've ever played. The story is quite interesting and without a doubt a huge improvement over the first game, Shadow of Mordor. If you like Lord of the Rings, you're going to love this game — sensational. But for me it wasn't all flowers: I’m having 2 frustrating bugs in the game. For some reason, when I try to execute orcs, they trigger the 'death defying' animation about 95% of the time and survive. I rarely manage to execute them. Another issue is that the orc’s reaction animation (where he starts talking that he's going to kill me blah blah blah when he sees me) doesn’t play at all — even after I hit him, it only starts when I try to execute them. And after hitting them so much they end up with very little health, and only when I try to execute them does the animation play. This next point isn't so much a problem but more personal: the difficulty balance feels really strange. Normal mode is way too easy, while Nemesis mode actually feels like the real Normal difficulty. And finally, the last point is a tip: if you care about the character's cape and hair, then play the game at a maximum of 60 FPS because Talion's hair and cape become stiff with almost no physics the higher the FPS you play at, which ends up being a bit stupid, but it’s a matter of opinion. Anyway, the bugs I found must be very rare because I've never seen anyone talking about them anywhere, so it's not a reason to worry when buying and playing the game because it probably won't happen to you. Edit: I forgot to say that I already platinumed this game on PS4/5 and none of these bugs happened to me there, at least as far as I remember.

An absolute masterpiece with almost infinite gameplay value
オークの喋り、炎上やら、激昂やら、倒した時のやつなんとかならないのか さすがに多すぎてうっとうしい。あはは
Played the game on my PS5 and got it platinum. Had to revisit this masterpiece and the graphics still hold up well. Definitely a game everyone should experience, it’s sad that this is the last game we got with the nemesis system implemented, the system could have revolutionized the gaming industry if it wasn’t patented.
The nemesis system is amazing. But it gets so repetitive after a few hours of gameplay... Boring missions, boring story and the combat is just ok.
cant wait to get sucked(in)
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
