Lord of the Rings finally gets a video game worthy of its franchise. This game will satisfy those who appreciate LOTR and those who don't know the lore at all.

PROS

• Enemy progression
  
• Obvious love for Tolkien's lore
  
• Challenging combat encounters make every skill feel useful
  
• Provide most players with over 30 hours of gameplay.
  
• $19.99 (honestly a steal)

CONS

• Cheated out of a satisfying final battle - (However Shadow of War is coming out this month that integrates with the first game to continue the story).
