Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a continuation of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor The game operates on the world and the characters of the books of JRR Tolkien. However, it will be more accurate to say that the game is closer to the cinematic version of this story, created by director Peter Jackson.

A Gothic sequel by a different studio that traded the series' hostile, systems-heavy world for a conventional open-world action RPG with accessible combat and a clear quest structure. Taken on its own terms it is a competent, slightly janky European RPG. Taken as Gothic it is widely rejected, and the PC build still has unresolved resolution and display bugs on current Windows.

A level-based hack-and-slash built around three characters with genuinely different movesets and an upgrade system tied to combo scoring. It cuts between film footage and play well for its era. It is short and entirely linear — a handful of hours, no exploration, and boss fights that come down to memorising a single pattern.
