    Its short story missions are creative and its colorful uruks are good splashes of personality, but the repetitive battles against more than a dozen Legendary uruks get old, even with the promise of new gear sets.

    It’s a decent DLC, but also a redundant one. Shadow of War’s core gameplay is still entertaining, but Blade of Galadriel offers merely around three hours of new story content and no side activities apart from killing captains for legendary gear, which is moderately engaging pastime.

    Blade of Galadriel is much more to the point, without much of the same flair -- either the good or the bad.

    The Galadriel Blade is too lazy to represent a virtuous extension of Shadow of War.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. -Story too short even for a DLC (around 4h)
    -STORY (SPOILER!!!!): REALLY?, A FEMALE CHINESE NAZGUL??????
    Eltariel is soo bad that you wish you could get talion back (and he was mediocre AT BEST)
    i HOPE they dont make her the new MC in a possible 3rd game.

    TO SUM UP: i know SOW didnt have much LotR but c´mon guys, this SJW gender **** HAS TO STOP.
    I have nothing against a Female lead but god shes too blunt, too uncreativ and not a such great Character like Aloy for example. She was bad in Shadow of war and she is even more bad in her own DLC. Also this chinese empire **** has to stop. Like i said before it is ok that the games arent that much similar to lotr but damn atleast let the main kingdoms be the same. NOT a ****ty new Chinese kingdom, not female nazguls or nazguls who could betray their master Sauron (WTF!?!).    … Full Review »

    After such waiting that is the first piece of expansion we get ? Imagine how the second one will turn out to be. Utterly disappointing likeAfter such waiting that is the first piece of expansion we get ? Imagine how the second one will turn out to be. Utterly disappointing like this one i suppose.

    Don't get me wrong is not a bad dlc but definitely not worthing the Gold edition label or the price tag for it at the moment.

    Graphically is outstanding just like the base game, Eltariel is a re-skin of Talion which was predictable and at some points it's so obvious that it was hilarious, you will understand when you see it at a certain siege later in the story.

    The story is really sort and all the extras ( almost nothing ) are not worthing the time you are most likely thinking to spend in the game.
    There is nothing new unfortunately at some points it tries to bound together some plotholes from the base game but i believe it was a lackluster effort.    … Full Review »
