    It’s the fast food of honored fantasy tradition, much as Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was, and this is the king-size upgrade...But by God, it’s delicious.

    Could be good game but you destroyed it with Loot boxes and microtransactions. I boycott this practice (you know what way) with my friends.Could be good game but you destroyed it with Loot boxes and microtransactions. I boycott this practice (you know what way) with my friends. You won't see penny. Game itself is a bit repetetive, there is a lot of grind, the nemesis system is great, plot is better, some orcs are intersting and battles are in my opinion well made, but repetetive and the same for every castle. Would be 7/10- but LOCKING TRUE ENDING BEHIND GRIND?!! So you force me to either GRIND IN SINGLE PLAYER GAME!!! or buy your dam loot boxes?! Giving that stupid RNG boxes in single player 60$ game? Are you out of your mind?!

    I only play it because I got free copy- DON'T SPEND MONEY ON IT. Wait couple of days and you know what to do.

    Shame on you devs, shame on you. People like you are destroying the game industry and our hobby.

    I hope you will go bankrupt. Don't buy this people. Let vote with our wallets, thats all they care about.    … Full Review »
