Shadow of war is THE most underrated game I know of.
When it came out, everyone was like "the first game was a masterpiece, and this is a micro transaction filled cheap copy".

hell no.
This game does not just "improve" on every aspect of the first one. It outright goes all in on expanding the game as much as they can. They absolutely went all in on trying to make the fantasy of being a war lord as great as possible. EVERY ASPECT OF GAMEPLAY WAS REEVALUED. The world is bigger, Orcs more diverse and also more interesting, fighting is more viceral, war is on greater scale etc.

So, why does noone remember it? because... It had optional microtransactions at the peak of the backlash to that mechanic. But they are seriously not intrusive.

On the oposite, this game not only allows for obvious endless grind thanks to the leveled mechanics, but it does CONTRARY TO THE PRREVIOUS GAME have a difficulty slider just in case the grind wasn't what you wanted.

If you see the game on sale, give it a consideration. It is a true gem.

@LukeAlmighty for some reason i thought you said "shadow of the empire" as in the n64 game where you play as dash rendar lol

An overly autistic rant 

@beardalaxy
Well, the 3rd world is War
And So, literally all the words are in this order, when you write SHADOW OF the empire, star WARs.

And the same way, as your brain skips the middle of words when reading, it can also skip entire words, when it assumes, it knows the phrase. Brain is an estimation generator after all. I wish to rant on this so much :D People don't understand, that literally 99 percent of our brain work is to analyze the past events, and estimate..........

I did it again.... FUCK!!!

yeah it's too much processing to extract information from environment - much easier to project your own preconceived notions on it ...

processing power is extremely limited and our brain is basically just fudging everything instead of doing the actual work ...

i mean neural impulses top out at 200 miles per hour versus 270,000 kilometers per second for signal traveling over electrical wire in a computer ...

the good news is if you smash your head at 200 mph into something you won't feel anything because there will not be enough time for signals to travel across your brain before it is destroyed completely ...

the bad news is if you jump out of airplane you will only reach 120 mph before air resistance slows you down and some people actually survived falling out of airplanes
