So honestly I had always heard about Middle-earth: Shadow of War and its prequel Shadow of Mordor, but I had never actually played them. Enter Playstation Plus and it being free, as I usually do with my games, I played the last one first – but I did watch the gameplay of the first one, which I thought was a fantastic storyline!
You play (again) as Talion – voiced by my favourite voice actor Troy Baker a.k.a Joel, Sam Drake etc – who is still rocking the spirit of Celebrimbor – voiced by Alastair Duncan who voiced the God Mímir in God of War and God of War Ragnarök (the more you know).
Before I go too deep, a Spoiler warning should go here:
Back to it, basically, you create a new ring, then boom your mate gets abducted, not great, by Shelob – if you can remember the terrifying spider from the movie, but wait… she is a lady… a rather attractive lady… the hell… okay that confusing thing happens (nightmare fuel). She negotiates with you and you give her the new ring that you forged with the ring she seems to see the future and sends you to Minas Ithil t, where you do a lot of cool fighting, but long story short (too late right) you do not succeed and it becomes Minas Morgul. whomp whomp Gondor. Skip forward past lots of fighting etc and a necromancer voiced by my other man Nolan North, we get to the ending and brah, what an ending. I am not going to spoil it in writing, but what i will do is add a video below that if you want to watch it… I would. Unless you plan on playing the game, then doooooon’t!
Let me help you as well, if you are wanting to play and not have the ending spoilt, DO NOT LOOK AT THE SKINS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME! You will thank me later.
