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.

On reception: its Steam reviews are mixed, against mostly positive for The Inquisitor.

✓ Nearly identical: deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and adventure storytelling.

≠ Missing: strong narrative focus.

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.

An old-school European RPG: three factions with genuinely different magic schools, a world that does not scale to your level, and exploration that rewards wandering into places you are not ready for. Combat is its weakest link — stiff, poorly telegraphed, and frustrating in the early hours before your character is competent at anything.

The close of the Lords of Shadow trilogy, alternating a weakened Dracula between his castle and a modern city, with the same weighty whip combat as the first game plus magic and platforming. Its reputation is deserved in one specific way: the modern-city stealth sections are widely disliked, and the game is poor at signposting where to go or what an acquired item is for.

Tighter and far more focused than what followed: combat demands preparation and punishes mashing, and the second act splits into two genuinely different paths depending on one choice. The opening hours are the steepest in the series — the tutorial explains little, alchemy and signs are easy to ignore until they suddenly become mandatory.
