Shadow of War's open world is filled with missions, rotating side missions, collectibles, and orc captains and it really does a good job of allowing you to go at your own pace and do the things that you want to do. Facing Ghuls, Orcs, and Caragors are all in a day's work for Talion In Shadow of Mordor, I eventually got bored of the constant captain encounters and would end up just ignoring them but in Shadow of War, there is a lot more value to fighting every captain you can. By killing the 3 to 5 warchiefs in an area, you make life easier on yourself when it's finally time to storm the fortress and take down the overlord. Killing and dominating captains allows you to weaken warchiefs and even send spies back to betray them. Each of the five worlds has an army of captains, warchiefs, and an overlord. Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system returns to Shadow of War and it's more robust and well-implemented this time around. Stealth executions are still around as well and are best used to clear out archers and large enemies that will be a headache to fight face-to-face. I especially enjoyed chaining together 3 executions or dominations (where you absorb life from an orc and convert them to your side) whenever my Might bar was full. As you fight, your Might meter increases which allows you to pull off some fancy special moves. You can also stun enemies with the circle button, a particularly useful tactic against large and powerful orcs that are hard to dodge and impossible to counter. Mashing square is the best way to hack away at swarms of orcs as long as you keep an eye out for icons over enemies' heads that alert you to counter or dodge. If you played Shadow of Mordor or the Batman: Arkham series, you'll be comfortable with it right away. To go along with a surprisingly meaningful story, Shadow of War features an engrossing but not overly complex combat system. These idealistic differences fuel the storyline and make for an engaging narrative and one powerful ending. Talion is interested in saving Middle-earth from Sauron's dark forces whereas Celebrimbor is far more concerned with revenge against Sauron. Shadow of War tells a sprawling story filled with interesting characters and clashing motives. │ Remember to support your favourite streamers and content creators for all the entertainment that they provide.
