      Yes, Shadow of War

      I really enjoyed it until the shadow wars, then finished the story and let it rest. Overall good start, great middle and then just a bit ponderous at the end.

      The orcs are the star of that game though, kept you on your toes

      They tied it into the movies somewhat so there is that at least.

        I played it until the end and was disappointed. The game was great though and I hate that they have a patent on the nemesis system because I’d love to see it in other games. Memes are allowed if they relate to LOTR in any ways so its all good

          Same, was engaging for me until the level cap +1 orcs and necro-orcs were the norm. I don’t know how many were able to get through the original shadow wars for the ending if I did the shortened version and that felt that was too much as the forts aren’t as fun when you have to game the system and not engage with the it organically.

          True, the nemesis system is probably one of the best systems for games to emulate a “living world”. Who knows maybe one day someone will make something to meet or exceed it,especially with the craze In AI development

          Thanks for the clarity, wasn’t sure as it isn’t offical tolken lore and all
