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 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.

The prequel, and the last of the fixed-camera combo games before the reboot: combat adds a weapon-infusion system and the set pieces are as large as ever. It is also the most routine — the story adds little, the puzzles are padding, and the multiplayer it was built around shut down years ago.
