Shadow of War is a rare find: a sequel that, instead of being a reluctant extension of a popular game, is what you get if you take the designers of a very good game, and tell them "we have the budget for your wildest hopes and dreams, have fun." Smooth, entertaining, funny in parts, and consistently well-crafted. Strongly recommended for action-RPG fans who want to move slightly towards the RPG side of that spectrum.
