I can't recommend this game to people if they've played Shadow of Mordor. SOM was brilliant and I LOVED every moment of it, even after replaying it time and time again. Shadow of War? It has too much wrong with it, even after years. The game is built upon Microtransactions which were removed years ago. Turn off Multiplayer? Well, you're not allowed to and it will create fake friends for you to "avenge". Your SOUL BRANDED ORCS, can BETRAY you whenever they desire, and enemy orcs upon your defeat can destroy your equipment. Stuff that you worked hard to get, be they of legendary rarity or what say you. The game is unironically bad. Those who upvote and promote this game need to re-play the first game. Sure, there are a number of things that SOW gets right and improves upon, but there is just so much more that it gets wrong. Oh so wrong.
