Is Shadow of War worth buying compared to the previous one?
Those who had a good time playing Shadow of Mordor can tell me your thoughts about this game? The first one is an amazing game in my opinion but i'm reading bad things like that shadow of war has a worse storytelling and a dissapointing ending

is that true? I want this game but i have spent a lot of money with more preorders and honestly i don't want to waste the little money i have left if the game is not worth it.

thanks in advance

This game is a lot harder than the first one. Shadow of Mordor was way too easy which made it boring after a while.

I am playing nemesis mode and I am finding the game quite challenging in an awesome way. In Shadows of Mordor, I found I would often times allow the captains to kill me in order to experience that part of the nemesis system. In Shadows of War, it flows well into the game since all the added new mechanics for captain fights and possible outcomes really keeps you on your toe-toes.

I loved the first, this one i would marry. :)
Storytelling: I never thought the storytelling of part 1 was great, i like it a lil bit more here. (Finished only act 1 yet tho, since im not rushing).

And dont listen to all the Microtransactions-whiners. No content is locked behind a paywall. Gaining ingame currency is easy, but i think there aint even a need of buying Captains, no matter if its with ingame currency or real money. The only thing (i think) you can buy for money only is an exp-booster.... and seriously... who needs that in a SP game? I wouldnt even want it for free... lol

someone from twitter has said that you are op from the very beginning and if you think about it makes sense after watching the trailer and the new ring.

but if you say that this is a lot harder than the first one then i have one more reason to get the game

IMHO u can compare SoM difficulty with the middle of easy / normal mode here... but you still have nemesis, which i didnt try yet.. but i heard its hard.

Here you go, I did you a solid and asked 1,187 players what they think of the game and compiled all their answers here in an easy-to-read format! :steamhappy:

prepare for the assault of people from the "Dont support MT in THIS game" association.

more seriously though, i didnt play a lot of the first game cause it was missing something from my pov, and i find this something in this game now, so im happy.
and as far as i am in the story (at the start lol) i dont find anything disturbing or worse compared to the first, and for the ending, clearly, cant help you.

But moneywise maybe you can find the game less pricey on key seller sites.

There is a large gap between Normal and Nemesis.

Changing gear in combat should probably be disabled though, makes things really easy peazy sumtimes with that huge gap

Yes it's great. The first game was good but to easy. I need to wrk to pull of what I need to do in the new version. Worth it. :)

I haven't played the first game, or other games like this, but I'm having a lot of fun. I really like dominating orcs to make an army and sending them on missions, which from what I understand is not in the first game.
