Which one is better? Shadow of Mordor or Shadow of War?

[twas ever thus]

Never played both. i dont have an idea. only thinking buying one of them. Tho i don't have clue what kind of games both?

[Mundi]

Shadow of war, but both of them are worth playing

[Nyperon]

Both are great games, I advise u to start with Mordor first tho. If u finish the game, u will feel like a God, a Mighty uruk killer, unstopable. Then run SoW on higher difficulty and get ur a5s kicked hard. Best feeling ever. ;-)

You should play shadow of mordor with the DLC first. If you like it, then consider buying shadow of war.

Btw, shadow of mordor goes for around 2 bucks on sale. And shadow of war usually goes down 65%.

[Lifted Seven]

You should play Shadow of Mordor first. Then you will appreciate Shadow of War more

A lot of context will be lost if you jump into sequel instead

shadow of war's gameplay is a bit better but shadow of Mordor's story is proably better. granted neither of these games has a very good story from a Tolkein lore POV
