They all have distinct personalities and voices, and they always react to the situation you confront them in. The other human and elf voices are fine, but nothing special, although I can’t help but hear and appreciate Uncharted 4’s Nadine in Laura Bailey’s performance as Eltariel.Īs for the uruks, they’re all perfect, from the bellowing voices of the trolls to the sniveling voices of the scrawny uruk’s that fight from a distance. The voice acting is well done in most areas, with Talion, voiced by Troy Baker, and Celebrimbor, voiced by Alastair Duncan, having standout performances. The realistic and gritty sounds of swords clashing against metal, wood, and flesh the sounds that reflect the environment you are walking, running, or climbing on and the great effects from all of the wraith magic you perform all do a great job of keeping you immersed. The sound design, music, and voice acting are also well done. Photo mode is becoming somewhat of a necessity in games of all types nowadays, and Shadow of War has one of the best, right up there with that of Horizon: Zero Dawn. Shadow of War also has a great photo mode, improving on the one from the first game. The lighting is very well done and character models are exceptional - especially Talion and the transparent wraith Celebrimbor. That being said, the game still looks great. Some muddy textures and pop in that at times can be pretty bad set this game behind titles like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4 visually. Graphically, this game is a nice improvement from its 2014 predecessor, but that doesn’t make it the prettiest game out there. The mediocre story and bland new characters at times bog down the enormous fun of killing every uruk in sight. Its incohesive story - which features the ranger Talion and the wraith Celebrimbor preparing to attack Sauron - has its moments, but isn’t anything special. It brings back the great gameplay and much loved nemesis system from its predecessor, and improves on a lot from Shadow of Mordor. Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to 2014’s acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, has a lot going for it.
