Middle Earth Shadow of War.
Finished Shadow of Mordor and figured I'd move on. I think I'm having more fun in War.
The level design is much more creative. In War it felt like a mostly open sandbox with a few notable areas. In Shadow it feels like every inch is designed with intent. Especially with how much height some areas have. It's not a homogeneous wasteland or field, it's large set pieces.
The skill tree feels a bit better too. In War you just slowly activate every skill and end up quite over powered. In Shadow you have to pick and choose which ones to activate.
The enemies feel a bit better too. There's a lot more interaction with captains, which are much more creative with better dialogue.
you call the first game "War" twice.
I wanted to like this game, but the combat was too simplistic for me.
