Absolutely stellar. Batman Arkham combat system with LotR setting and lore. While the story isn't cannon it does it's job and the gameplay is one of a kind. A lot of complicated systems that tie together very well. Being able to take out 50+ orcs in combat just feels amazing.

Lord of the Hunt DLC is meh, Bright Lord DLC sets the stage for Shadow of War's gameplay.

The Trials seem daunting at first but as long as you take the time to farm level 25/26 runes in the base game AND learn the combat and movement systems, along with dominating Warchiefs to riot, the Tests become very rewarding to complete.
