If you liked Shadow of Mordor you'll probably liked SoW. It's more of the same with way more variables for the Nemesis system.

The lootbox issue was drastically overstated and they were never necessary or forced on you. The endgame was grindy, this bit is true, but it was grindy regardless and no amount of purchased lootboxes would have slowed the grind. Like it was just a lengthy ass campaign of taking and retaking fortresses and buying orcs that were no better than the ones you can mind control wouldn't have helped. The lootboxes have also been taken out and the endgame grind cut in half so it's worth a shot.

I actually fell off of it at the end due to how stupid long the Shadow War endgame was and only went back to it like a year later after they patched it to a more bearable length for the plat.
