First, I gotta say this.
If you haven't played Shadow of Mordor, then I advise that you not play Shadow of War. Why? Cause Shadow of Mordor has everything that this game has.
However, if you have played the first game and still have that LoTR craving that needs a fix, then, by all means, play this game.
Shadow of War is basically like an expansion of the first game. It has a far more impressive Nemesis system, bigger worlds to explore, equipment sets and gems to strengthen your character and a stronghold defense/invade minigame.
However, it has its problems. And that problem is the constant grind. By act 4, you will be grinding for Legendary orcs to help defend your stronghold. I won't spoil anything from the main story. But let's just say that you will be doing this to achieve the true ending of the game.
If you have played the first game and if you can look past the somewhat pokemon-esque feel of collecting orcs, then Shadow of War is the game for you.
