A solid game that will live through the years

FOR THE BRIGHT LORD YOU WILL FIGHT

Good things about the game:

• Engaging combat with a lot of skill involved.
• Variable difficulty. (I played on Brutal, which makes the enemies smarter and hit way harder but removes bloated HP.)
• An awesome story based in the Lord Of The Rings universe with an amazing ending.
• The skill tree feels worked on and you will have to get certain skills to match your playstyle.
• You can gather unique gear that boost certain aspects of your characters abilities, as such you can make different builds that focus on different tactics.
• The graphics are good.
• The free roaming in the game is decent, you can get ambushed whilst getting to your objective and you will often encounter enemies whilst traveling.
• The Nemesis system makes enemies adapt to your combat strategies, and they will get stronger when they kill you. They'll change names at times and some of the enemies are really unique and make you laugh.
• Dying has consequences, as the enemy who kills you will get stronger and adapt. If a grunt kills you they will become a captain, possibly being an extreme challenge to take down later on.
• There are a wide variety of captains, with different personalities and dialogue. There's one who is usually called the Screamer, he usually makes me laugh.

Bad things about the game:

• The movement doesn't always work as you want it to and you will find yourself climbing buildings that you never intended to climb.
• I've encountered a bug where your camera freezes and no longer follows your character, meaning you can no longer go further than 50 meters. This was fixed by restarting the game.
• Certain story elements felt dragged out, one of those being Bruz's quests, which I won't spoil here. I'll just say that the quest goes on far longer than it needs to and is just frustrating to complete.
• Many quests force you to switch region in order to continue the quest. An example is Bruz's quest, which forces you to switch regions about 5 to 7 times in order to complete the quest. Needless to say, if your computer isn't a Nasa super computer you'll find yourself spending a lot of time in a loading screen.
• I cant say that the side quests were all that entertaining at all, as all of them felt a little frustrating to complete.

Much fun very cool.

Shadow of War is one of the most enjoyable game I have ever played

????️ Gameplay:

Scaling

• During your adventures, you will encounter orcs with different specialties and levels. The rarity varies from common to legendary. What rarity Orcs spawn at, is out of your hands, however it is worth tracking them down and claiming them as your own. That's why, look carefully at the nemesis system, since some orcs are very rare to encounter!
• Most of the time, higher tier Orcs will have some immunities and strengths. You can exploit them in your advantage, by tracking down a Worm. For example, there are orcs who are immune to arrows etc... Fortress captains tend to have more strengths than weaknesses, so be careful with that. Plan your ambush and get prepared before joining a fight.

Nemesis system

• You can send death threats In that way, you upgrade the gear quality obtained by an enemy orc. The downside, the targeted champion comes well prepared, setting a trap of his own. The encounter becomes harder and you risk defeat.
• You can send ambushes
Ally champions join the fight. Encounters become easier, but you are risking the life of your companion. With this strategy you can also level up your orcs!
• You can send spies to infiltrate the enemy lines
Your champion, needs to defeat an enemy captain in the the arena in order to take the enemy's place. There are lots of benefits with this technique. However, there are also some risks. If your orc is defeated in the arena or for some reason is caught by the fortress master. Then, it is guaranteed you will bid him fair well, as he definitely gonna meet his maker (forever ???). If he wins though, he may even become the personal bodyguard of the Fortress Captain.
