I f*cking hate this game my hands hurt from the amount of button mashing I had to do to try and keep up with the amount of horsesh*t it throws at you after five or so story missions, way too much trash, way too many captains coming out of nowhere to gank-squad you, way too many special minions all at once, way too inaccurate combat targeting, especially with so many afore-mentioned special minions who you can't fight normally and no adjustable difficulty for nerds who don't care about the copy-paste Arkham fighting system and only marginally care about the nemesis system and just want to play through the game.

Beginning of the game is 9/10 started off janky in the storyline, quickly became very interesting, combat was amazeballs, felt badass, slashing up orcs felt fun, killing captains in funny ways also fun.

Five or six missions in 4/10 Story still great, side characters are fun, LotR lore rich and creative as always, combat turns to sh*t with all the special fairy princess trash-packs who will beat your a*s into a pulp if you don't treat them super special like your favorite trophy wife and the gank squads of 3+ captains popping out of each other's a*sholes like cr*ptastic russian dolls along with their entourage of 30+ orcs in tow like the longest dingleberries you've ever seen in your life and magical self-activating stronghold alarms that summon another 30 orcs out of literally nowhere.
