When you have a studio who know the best way to remaster a game is to get some big names in the community to help you build it, you know they're gonna do it right. Clearly made with so much love and attention.
Thanks Aspyr & Community folks! <3

Everything I wanted it to be. Sure, it's got some bugs but honestly this is more polished than I expected.

Highly recommend, excited to see where the next 10+ years take this game, especially with the talented modding community behind it. :)

Utterly amazing. Personally my favourite Assassin’s Creed game since 2. Egypt really stands out as the best environment the team have made, I think so anyway.

Never seems to bore me, love the location/setting and environment, characters are great and unique, the landmarks... oh my god, such awesomeness. It’s hard to top standing on top of the Giza Pyramids overlooking Egypt as far as the eye can see.

Highly recommended. Can’t wait for the DLC’s. :-)

Shadow of War is hands down one of the best games I’ve ever played. It feels far more immersive than the previous game, Shadow of Mordor, which was already pretty damn immersive.

The Nemesis system: the Dev’s state multiple times it is aware winning but you don’t really get to appreciate why until you play it. The anount of unique characters and the dynamic changes that are made are very clever. The part that surprised me the most was how Captains and above can adapt to your style of fighting. So you can’t always do the same movement/attack cycle over and over as they will expect it. This is brilliant and adds an extra layer of depth to the combat which makes you really think about how to proceed.

The world is amazing and feels very well built, attention to detail is increadible and I never find myself getting bored or going “been here like 12 times today” (which happens a lot in the previous game). This somehow feels far more like a proper Middle Earth game than the last.

Graphics; if your PC can handle it: download the 4K Cinematics and Ultra HD Texture pack and make sure you set the Ultra HD textures in the settings. The detail is impressive, even by today’s standards.

Finally; the Army building & siege’s are awesome, just wait until you get to do it!

10/10 - couldn’t ask for more, this game has exceeded my expectations and I constantly find myself excited to play it.

Highly recommended!

So much fun, I've been considering this game since it was first advertised and released and after watching multiple YouTube videos on it, I decided to go for it... and I've spent most of the day on it :D

Gunplay and movement is literally perfect in my opinion, story feels great and it's all round gory fun! (Yes, shooting demons in the face with a double-barrel shotgun really is that satisfying)

Can easily see why this game is amongst the highest rated by public and critics alike, it's rapidly become one of my favourites.

Highly recommended! :)
