![]() ![]() Even if you do end up killing two of ’em. Anyways, he is one of three major story orcs you encounter, and all three of them are delightful. You meet up with Bruce … excuse me, I mean ‘Bruze’ the orc. Just like in the first game, they are the reason you want to keep playing. Of course the big reason why the game becomes more fun in Act 2 is because of the orcs. Can’t really say how it does this without spoiling a major twist, but I was impressed by this. It even holds true to one of the major themes from The Lord of The Rings – power corrupts. The first act drags on a bit because you don’t get to really deal with the orcs that much, but once you hit act 2 and 3, the story gets a lot more interesting. The second ring of power, how they handle the Nazgul, the face-palm inducing way they show the formation of the Eye of Sauron, it all adds up to a lot of irritation if you’re heavy into the lore.īut what happens if one lets go, and just enjoys the story for what it is, a fanfiction? Well I wouldn’t say the story is brilliant, but it becomes a lot better. It’s just one of the few issues I can talk about without spoiling some major story points. If you feel I’m getting a bit to worked up over a spider, I can assure you that this is not the only story point that flat out breaks Middle-Earth lore. She does not care for the fate of Middle-Earth, she never shacked up with Sauron, and she sure as heck isn’t a femme fatale. Shelob is evil, a direct descendant of Ungoliant, a creature so full of darkness that even Morgoth (Sauron’s boss) feared her. While it doesn’t change the ending of the books, the in-between details are so drastically altered it’s almost a separate world. I’ve often heard other people refer to Shadow of War‘s story as a fanfiction, and that’s a fair assessment I’d say. Middle-Earth purists, stay far away from this game. On to what could be a make-or-break point for many people, the story and lore. Granted, there’s not much you can do with a wasteland, but still, things really do feel just like an upgrade. The fidelity has improved a bit, but nothing in the visuals leap out. This contributes the most to the Shadow of Mordor 1.5 feel, I think. Music? So OK, that I actually had to go back and verify the open world has ambient sound tracks. Let’s start off with the most neutral aspect of this game, the visuals and audio.
