Is Shadow of War worthy of a week one purchase? Our Middle-earth: Shadow of War review should give you the answers you need:

Retrofitting Tolkien’s work allows Monolith to create some of the most interesting gameplay mechanics of any game to date. Shadow of War sits at a crossroads, having mobility like Assassin’s Creed, combat like Arkham City, and a wealth of abilities and loot like an RPG. While simply looking at gameplay makes it seem like an Assassin’s Creed game with a Lord of the Rings skin (the first game ran into the same early criticisms), it’s the ability to build out Talion as the character I wanted him to be that really sets this apart. More than two dozen skills can be unlocked, each with three sub-skills, of which only one can be selected at a time. It creates interesting moments in player choice, and rather than running forward into each combat encounter, I found myself fiddling with the skill tree to best handle each situation.

Shadow of War is available today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
