The new part of the Middle-earth series will surprise you with the redesigned Nemesis system, thanks to which your every decision will influence the development of the game world and the NPCs inhabiting it. Fighting with the army of the Dark Lord, you will level up, explore a large open world, subdue orcish commanders, create an army and attack the enemy's citadel, trying to stop his next invasion of the territory of the free states of Middle-earth. The game actively borrows elements from Peter Jackson's films and is based on Tolkien's books, but the plot is unique, although not completely canonical. We recommend buying the Definitive Edition version — it contains several DLCs with interesting plot branches.
