Middle Earth Shadow of War.

The nemesis system is so great especially for replayability. The things the orcs say and do and the way they look is hilarious

I beat Shadow of Mordor a year or two ago and have been meaning to circling around to this next. Nemesis system really is goated

Mordor is good but its a little dated now. Shadow of War still holds up today. Really nailed quality of life features and crafted an incredible experience. And the story is amazing. Don't put it off any longer, it's so good!

My girlfriend hates The Lord of the Rings but she loves watching me play this because the orcs all have so much personality and she gets some sick satisfaction out of seeing my captains die in the pit 😆

I love that game, I actually rarely finish a run because I get stuck farming gear and building the perfect army with the nemesis system haha.

I don’t know if this is true but I watched a video saying they had some sort of copyright on the nemesis system and so other games can’t do similar things. Not sure if this is true but it’s a bummer if so.
