A definite improvement over the previous game in the series, this game takes every aspect of Shadow of Mordor and improves each tenfold. If you are a fan of the previous game in any way this one is certainly up your alley. The expanded nemesis system makes for a huge variety of enemy types and the DLC expands that even further (if you're willing to spend the money). The combat is the same tried-and-true formula at the core, but with a bunch of different new abilities and finer details that lend themselves to greatly improving the overall experience. Graphics are good, the environment is gritty, menacing, and extremely fitting for a game set in Mordor. Definitely one of my favorite games of this past year.

9/10
