Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
(PS4, Xbox One, PC – Oct. 10)
October 2017 Games to Look Forward To
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor was largely considered one of the very best games of 2014, and Monolith looks to be attempting to do it again. Shadow of War is the highly anticipated sequel to that critically-acclaimed release and appears to build on everything that made the first game great. Tight combat, beautiful locations, and deep lore are all front and center. However, what will most likely steal the show again is the Nemesis System.
The Nemesis System has been upgraded to allow more control over the Orcs you take control of. Not only can you send them to sabotage other enemies, but you can use some in battle alongside you, build a powerful army, and even defend and take over bases. There’s a lot more to do, and you still have all the Lord of the Rings essence serving as a wonderful backdrop. If you loved the first game, be sure to keep this one on your radar.
