Only managed to escape the tutorial after 4 hours, enjoyed Shadow of Mordor but I got bored of this one quickly, Nemesis system is deeper in this game and that was what i was interested in but 4 hours of boring intro with forced missions and a story I wasn't interested in plus Celebrimbor being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for some reason meant I just couldn't be bothered, was originally excited to forge my own army again like in the first game but the intro stole all my motivation.

Suffice it to say, game is better gameplay wise but the story missions are way too restrictive and I didn't want to have to deal with that and the godawful map throughout the rest of the game and DLC.
