        As far as actual lotr story, not good. As far as gameplay though, for 95% off there’s MUCH worse games you could play. I easily put over 100 hours into this and it’s dlc

          Shadow of mordor’s story is also just passable, but the nemesis system of both game is really something else. It’s a shame the system is trademarked.

              It’s the kind of thing that fit so well within this franchise because any uruk can be somebody and nobody at the same time, it won’t work well with most of WB other franchise. The only other game that could utilise this system well is Mad Max, so maybe there might be a chance?

                Well now I’m retroactively annoyed they didn’t use it in the Mad Max game a few years ago. It was still really fun but that would’ve been a great addition.

            Even on hard nemesis is something you can really avoid by picking who to fight with, and even by then it is not that difficult in Shadow of Mordor. They can surely sell the idea but the implementation in my opinion.
