![]() Which is to be expected at times, given the sheer amount of enemies and effects that can be present at any given time. The game ran really well on my system (i7 5820k 3.3ghz, 16GB RAM, nVidia GTX 980Ti 6GB) with only a few, occasional frame rate drops. 70GB of free space (Which turned out to be 90GB for me for some reason, will touch on this later.). ![]() ![]() AMD RX 480 4GB or nVidia GTX 970 4GB (Minimum AMD HD 7870 2GB or nVidia GTX 660 2GB).Windows 10 with creators update (Minimum Windows 7 SP1).The Steam store page recommends the following specs Graphically, I think this game is beautiful, I believe they have knocked it out of the park, of course, this is all a matter of personal opinion and in some cases, the power of your computer. Eventually, I decapitated him, I was hoping he would return, but he didn’t. You meet Orcs that seem to want nothing but blood, some see you as a stepping stone, some aren’t particularly bothered by you but hey, a fight is a fight and some want a bond with you, in my case Ogg the Bard who turned up from time to time to serenade me with his axe, no matter how many times I seemed to kill him the guy constantly turned back up. I bumped into orcs with Irish, Scottish and Australian accents, as well as a large variety of typical English accents with so many personalities. Not only does his voice stick out like a sore thumb, but the dialogue is brilliant, in fact, all of the orcs have brilliant dialogue., it really does make you feel like you’re in a very diverse world. There are some fantastic characters amongst these orcs, my favourite being the very unsure sounding Agonizer voiced by Kumail Nanjiani, when I bumped into him on my path to reclaim the world, I couldn’t help but laugh and also dominate him, he’s coming with me. Your mission, if you wish you accept it, is to travel Middle Earth, using the power of this new ring to dominate and control Orcs in the hope of building an army big enough to push back the forces of Sauron. ![]() As it turns out, war is unavoidable and so is the collapse of Minas Ithil, eventually, you reclaim the ring from Shelob, which is where the real game begins. We find Shelob guiding our hero Talion to various places in and around the last stronghold of Gondor, Minas Ithil, where you’re left to try your hand at halting the ongoing war. Talion agrees to give the ring to her as he believes they have a common enemy in Sauron. Our story starts with the return of Talion and Celebrimbor, our favourite Ranger/Wraith duo, setting out to forge a new ring of power, free from the evil touch of Sauron, but upon completion, you find your Elven friend held at ransom by the giant spider Shelob and what is the cost? You guessed it, one ring of power. So I guess we should tackle the plot first, where does Shadow of War lie in terms of lore? It sits somewhere between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Doom, you would have what has turned out to be Middle Earth: Shadow of War and boy is it a meal fit for an Elven king. Shadow of War is an ‘Action, Adventure, RPG” from WB Games, I feel the best description of this game, one a lot of people make, is to say that, if you took a pot, threw in the free running aspects of Assassins Creed, added in a splash of the Batman Arkham series combat, topped it off with the grungy graphical style of Dark Souls, then had it served to your table by the moody waiter Celebrimbor, on a plate made from the finest gold forged in Mt. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I feel it’s worth being warned in advance. I think, starting off this review, it’s a good idea to say if you’re a big fan of Lord of the Rings and Tolkien’s lore, try to put it behind you for the time being, because this game seems to run riot with it.
