Waiting for the right moment. Slowly a troll is shuffling by and gets silently back-stabbed by Talion. He quickly disappears again into hiding before the other trolls get suspicious or even alert. The story of Middle-Earth: Shadow of War takes place straight after the events of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. With the help of the ghost of the dead elf\u00a0Celebrimbor Talion has forged a new ring of power to bring down Sauron. This doesn&#8217;t sound like much of a story, but it jumps to life with well designed details and encounters with well know characters like Gollum, who lend their preciousss little charm to the game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bhSfjt8jQyk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Choose your enemies wisely<\/h3>\n<p>I like to charge ahead into battle. Hack&#8217;n&#8217;slash my way through enemy throngs. Ripping apart the fabric of opposition. I love the whooping ballet of the Batman Arkham series, where chaining together blow after blow adds to the fun. But with the Nemesis system in place, this approach is quickly doomed. To make your way to Sauron&#8217;s to layer of trustees and soldiers, you need to weaken and cut out the lower ranks first. If you lose your opponent will rise in the ranks. He can only be attacked again, when his subordinates have been dealt with.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1546 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/marcbodmer.com\/wp\/2017\/12\/03\/best-games-of-2017-middle-earth-shadow-of-war\/three-4283a2dd36\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/marcbodmer.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/three-4283a2dd36-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1555\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1555'>\n\t\t\t\tEpic battles await the hero Talion.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/marcbodmer.com\/wp\/2017\/12\/03\/best-games-of-2017-middle-earth-shadow-of-war\/gorgoroth_wide-1146fcb970\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/marcbodmer.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Gorgoroth_Wide-1146fcb970-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1554\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1554'>\n\t\t\t\tThe vast landscapes of Middle-Earth.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/marcbodmer.com\/wp\/2017\/12\/03\/best-games-of-2017-middle-earth-shadow-of-war\/gorgoroth_combat-f5c59540eb\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/marcbodmer.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Gorgoroth_Combat-f5c59540eb-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The ghastlies of Middle-Earth come to life in Shadow of War.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1553\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1553'>\n\t\t\t\tIn Shadow of War the ghastlies of Middle-Earth come to life.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3>The beauty of evil in Middle-Earth<\/h3>\n<p>Trolls,\u00a0Orcs and Olog-Hais as well as the creepy\u00a0Nazg\u00fbl have been beautifully rendered by the artists of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lith.com\">Monolith Productions<\/a>. The landscapes and venues are stunning. Quite often the player&#8217;s character appears to be tiny. Lost in gigantic caverns or valleys teaming with enemy crowds.

Not only have they developed the bestselling Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (2014), but the Guardians of Middle-Earth game as well.
