Destructoid: 6/10. 

Shadow of War had a gamey quality to it and a fanfiction plot that had some moments of surprise. Blade of Galadriel is much more to the point, without much of the same flair -- either the good or the bad. Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy it a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.

 

Meh as expected.

In order to fully restore the core promise of the Nemesis System, we’ll be permanently removing Gold, War Chests and the Market from Shadow of War. This means the option to purchase Gold with real-world money and the ability to gain Orc Followers from War Chests will be removed. There will be a specific amount of time given for players to utilize their unused Gold. If players have unused Gold by the end of the time allotted to spend it, any remaining Gold will be converted to in-game items.

Simply being aware that they are available for purchase reduces the immersion in the world and takes away from the challenge of building your personal army and your fortresses

Additionally, we’ll be updating the Shadow Wars section of the campaign, where players defend their fortresses against Sauron’s repeated counter-attacks. This portion of the game will be improved with new narrative elements and streamlined for a more cohesive experience. 

 

Another instance where people claimed lootboxes didn't affect the core gameplay and grind, then developer comes out and admits it did and removes it. Makes one defending this sh*t look like a fool in hindsight.

As they say, hindsight is 20 /20.

The financial target was probably hit; now trying to get some good PR with final DLC coming out and complete edition.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War – One Update to Rule Them All, Out Today

 

See all the big changes coming to Shadow of War, and download the game's free demo starting tomorrow.

  • Free Reign - We’ve completely removed the market and microtransactions from Shadow of War. Now we have the Garrison where Orcs you recruit through Online Vendettas and Ranked Conquests will be stored, and you can now spend in-game Mirian to train, upgrade and customize your personal Orc army.
  • The Shadow Wars - The post-campaign Epilogue has been massively streamlined and polished to include new narration from Shelob, the Witch-king and Dark Talion. Victory in the Epilogue rewards you with the masks of the Nazgûl, unlocks powerful new abilities to raise the dead, summon more powerful monsters or curse your enemies. And if you want to keep upgrading and defending your fortresses and your army in Mordor, you can do so after the final credits roll.
  • More Power to You - In addition to new Nazgûl gear, the level cap has been increased to 80, and you can level up faster with greater XP rewards for Nemesis missions, defeating Captains and online fort assaults. New Prestige Skills available after Act III can be unlocked multiple times. You can also spend Mirian to upgrade your gear to your current level if you can complete the upgrade challenge.
  • New Skins - Take the fight to Sauron as Celebrimbor, reliving the first War for Mordor or as Dark Eltariel.
  • Nemesis Improvements - Even the Orcs have some presents for you. There are more Legendary Orcs to encounter, followers can now surprise you with the occasional gift. And if you think your followers are too keen to help and have been stealing your kills, you can turn off the savior feature in the menu.

Is it recommended to play this game directly and skip Shadow of Mordor? I was gonna play Mordor first then was thinking if it aged well or not. When I went to buy this, it is 1k on steam even though Shadow of War usually goes around 300 bucks, so that is another reason to skip.

 

I have this game in my PSN, Steam and EPIC. PSN and EPIC I got for free and steam I bought for about 300 bucks a while back.
