About

The DLC to Middle-earth: Shadow of War, in which the player assumes the role of Baranor - the commander of Minas Ithil who faces the threat coming from the East. This Add-on offers not only a number of new story-related quests but also an entirely new region and additional pieces of gear that the main protagonist can upgrade at his dwarf friend – Torvin.

Baranor’s new toys and helpful mercenaries give Middle-earth: Shadow of War - The Desolation of Mordor a fresh take that does its best to shine despite the lack of a complete Nemesis system. Without a gripping story or interesting protagonist, it settles on being a fun but short challenge mode.

If you're starving for Middle-earth: Shadow of War content Desolation of Mordor will offer a small distraction for its 3-hour campaign. The human perspective is a nice touch but after having full control of a Ring of Power this felt more like a handicap. Desolation of Mordor isn't exciting enough to bring back those who've moved on from Shadow of War.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War - Desolation of Mordor brings a worthy character into the spotlight with a slightly different feel, to aplomb. Instead of controlling a superhero you're a stronger-than-average man, which somewhat grounds the gameplay while still allowing for plenty of wonderful toys. The whole "roguelike" angle was a bit oversold, but depending on your perspective, that could be a plus.
