muy bueno
jeśli komuś podobają sie klimaty hobbita, władcy pierścieni lub ogólnie śródziemia to ta gra jest zdecydowanie dla tej osoby. Polecam z całego serca
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.
Fiquei um tempo sem jogar depois que terminei a história principal. Depois que voltei três orcs me traem ao mesmo tempo e vêm juntos pra cima de mim - lá ele -, fujo, depois caço um por um e mando todos pra terra do pé junto. Até agora nenhum novo traidor, recado foi dado
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
One of the best games I've ever played
cant wait to get sucked(in)
После 12 часов игры могу сказать: игра хочет быть интересной, старается, но у неё не выходит. Всё из-за отсутствия ощущения прогресса. Убиваешь капитана — на его месте сразу появляется новый, и так бесконечно.

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.
