However, Talion is revived from this incident and joins forces with the ghost of Celebrimbor, the elven smith who made the Rings of Power.

Reasons to Play

• Possession Mechanic: While integral to progress the story, it’s also fun to perform. You can pit orcs against one another and gather up your own small army to clash with your foes!

• Sandbox Environment: Super explorative and evolves as you progress in the game. It’s more than just an empty space for collection hunting as it can be used to gather more recruits, gain experience, and find hidden secrets.

• Story: A great supplement to the standard story of Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit. It keeps true to many aspects of the lore and even includes several memorable faces of the world throughout the game.

Critical Strike: Combo finishers acquired through the game’s skill tree make multi-man fighting smooth..

Gotta Possess ‘em All: While you could control another Uruk captain, why not control a Graug instead?
