Love it!

Great game if you're into terminator lore, other than that this is the standard hallway shooter that plays like a game from 15-20 years ago.

A relaxing first-person Medieval Village simulator. This game has come a long way since early access. However, I find the in-game tutorials lacking; I often refer to the wiki page to accomplish tasks.

Great game, however replayability is ruined by the fact that you cant skip cut scenes you've already watched.

This DLC is not as revolutionary as "The Last Autumn", however I really enjoyed the narrative. This game reflects upon the previous scenarios, and yet introduces a new element of trade. Although this DLC has very little new visual content, when compared to "The Last Autumn", it is a nice a conclusion to the Frost Punk series. "On The Edge" focuses on a complete lack of resources, and forces the player to rely on trade and diplomacy.

This game in a nut shell, is a basic city simulator, but instead of a grid system, they use a pie shape. However, the apocalyptic winter survival aspect makes this game addicting.

It was refreshing to play a medieval RPG/simulation that wasn't fantasy ridden with magic.

Great game if you like doing the same fights over and over... Maybe its fun for a kid with tons of time. I wouldn't recommend this game for guys that work all week long and want some stress relief.

Fun game, but very short story line.

Comparing this game to the first Shadow of Mordor, I found this game a significant improvement. The story of Celebrimbor and Talion has been continued and expanded. The Nemesis system has been greatly improved. Orcs will remember the previous encounter and comment about it. Many Orcs will adapt to your fighting style. I once killed an Orc with fire only to have him resurrect later in the game, he was wrapped in bandages and blackened, he was wielding a flame sword ranting about embracing the cathartic experience of "the flame". Orcs that are delimbed will return with prosthetics, Orcs that are shamed can return covered in hand paint prints. They've added fort and seige defenses. You can order your converted Orcs to upgrade and help in the seige attack. The land of Mordor is no longer unlocked in stages. After the few hours all regions are unlocked, albeit some areas are more difficult. All in all, the game add definitely expands on Shadow of Mordor.

I know this game initially had a lot of bad reviews. Most of the issues have been addressed. They have removed micro-transaction purchases. I was able to beat it on normal difficulty with over 30k worth of upgrades. The final act is no longer a grind fest. There is only 3 waves (5 defenses in total) oppose to the 10 waves.
