I wish I didn't pre-order the game and start playing it immediately. It was amazing, story was so engaging, and it just expanded over the first, but the Shadow Wars section that grinded the game to a halt to try and get you to buy the loot boxes in their store made me quit because it got boring and halted the story. When i came back and the loot box store and Shadow Wars were removed I finished the game. If it wasn't for them putting in this out of nowhere grind section to get the true ending, it would have been one of the best games I've played.

Honestly this game is like the first but turned up to 11. I actually started playing this again and can’t believe how much fun it is, because I did forget oddly enough. I might have been too saturated in Tolken media because I did spend months playing this game and reading the books, took a long break and after some 150+ hours I put it down for 4 years. But yeah I think the only negative I can think of is the long winded dialogues, the first game did it perfectly.

The ''Pain-Lover'' is a special Olog. Depending on your knowledge of training, he can be extremely strong. He's an asset in your army. Some Ologs look very intimidating, but they're slow and they loose to more aggressive, but more generic/unremarkable Ologs in the pits and in Fortresses' siege/defense. ''Pain-Lover'' is fast and aggressive, which is why you should recruit him and train him and give him Epic/Legendary traits.

It's always worth it. If you ask me, there ain't no better game set in Middle Earth. The best thing about this game are the Uruks and Ologs you can take over. It's so rare to see a game that gives you the opportunity to see the Orcs as more than just enemies.

I would only recommend it to you if you are interested in gameplay and interactions between orcs because this is the only thing that this game can offer to you. For the rest this game is NOT for Lotr fans since it adds nothing to the universe, the developers somehow fucked up the story despite already having Tolkin’s book. For the rest game is very repetitive, it’s grindy and most of the aspects of the game have not been finished to good standards PLUS the game is definitely worth at least trying because of the nemesis system which you will never find in another game since developers own the right for the system

No. Shit is bugged to hell, orcs spawn off screen straight behind your back, hell, even in front of you. Most capitains are surrounded by 65 other orcs, rendering even just dribbling between enemies impossible. Shit gameplay, the controls are hella shit. There's a 2 second of loading everytime you try to climb a wall, rendering the parkour hella choppy. The button to jump off a ledge is the same as the one to hang from it, so everytime you wanna just hang on a ledge, bam, you jump 40 feet away from it. Super fun experience...... super fun .
