Not only there is a depth to it that was never in the first game, now there's a point in doing so, because your lieutenants actually help you a lot. I absolutely loved building my armies and leveling up my best orcs, in the arena or by assigning them tasks. ![]() SoW is superior in every aspect imo, and SoM is the one with the clunky combat (trust me, I played both side by side, SoM seems unplayable after SoW). Which is weird because I haven't met a single person irl who enjoyed the first one more, it's actually the opposite. Playing on the Nemesis difficulty too.Įveryone on reddit seems to share your opinion. I really want to like this game as I don't think it's an inherently bad game, but it just doesn't grab my interest enough to warrant putting the time in, and I get turned off whenever I try to play it.ĭid anyone else feel this way? Anyone who finished and enjoyed the game, any pointers as to when it "gets good"? I was about to do the siege assault in Nurnen, but had to just turn it off and walk away, it really wasn't grabbing me. There were a good number of collectibles in Shadow of Mordor, but there are certainly a lot more in Shadow of War. There are a lot of collectibles in this game, which honestly were more fun than the rest of the game (bar the Nemesis system of course). The story was fine enough, but it was separated out with so much of the Nemesis system filling the gaps that it felt so far in the backseat that it basically felt that the only reason it existed was to further progression and introduce new areas. What I played seemed cool but just another thing to add to the bloat of this game. I didn't get to really scratch the surface with the army stuff, so I can't comment on that. There is something about it that doesn't feel as satisfying or fun to play. off from Shadow of Mordor, but I can't exactly put my finger on it. Rather than the two worlds in Shadow of Mordor, there are now around six in Shadow of War, and they're all quite lengthy which just makes the game feel like a drag. There are so many mechanics that after around 20 hours of play, I was still getting reminders of things I could do that I had completely forgotten about. In the opening 10 hours of the game, so many new mechanics and tutorials are thrown at you it's honestly a bit overwhelming. The game just feels massively bloated with little to justify it. It's just as good, if not better, than Shadow of Mordor, but the rest of Shadow of War lets it down. The Nemesis system in this game is of course the star of the show. Shadow of Mordor felt like a very finely tuned game in both length and content, as the Nemesis system fleshed out the content in a very natural way that didn't feel linear or forced. This time, I made it farther than the other attempts (actually making it to Nurnen this time) but I just can't carry on with it. Started another playthrough again recently with the intention to finally finish it. This game has been in my backlog pretty much since it released and I've tried to play this game about four or five times now. The old /r/patientgamers Essential Games ListĪs the title says Shadow of War is the first game I've given up on in a long time, and I feel kind of bummed about it in all honesty, primarily because I loved Shadow of Mordor.
