DaveM12DIM Middle-earth: Shadow of War Review

Hugely enjoyable game. The world(s) look great, the combat is solid and varied, the parkour much better than expected and the cut scenes are some of the best I've seen (especially with the 4k upgrades). Some minor downs.. There is a lot of content, but sometimes its a little confusing as to which mission path to take, there is no really defined main mission, just a collectable of side stories. And while we don't all want hand holding it would have been nice to have some sort of direction (this is true in boss fights as well, I spent a good time in a couple of them trying to work out what it even wanted me to do). I'm not a big action combat player but I did not find it that challenging on "normal" difficulty, and some of the late game skills and gear are VERY overpowered (im looking at you Marauder armour and shadow **** overall, a lot of fun, and a great looking game.
