Shadow of War turned into one massive grind.
One enemy who beat me once, then retreated a second time got a huge level up boost. That caused him to become an overlord in a fort that is required to be taken. I was level 29, and he was level 55. On two failed attempts in combat with him, as overlord, he levelled up to 57. He has curse weapons, and 'no chance', at second chance. Meaning one hit kills (of level 5? character, and my level 29 character. Then no second chance, when he one shots me.
Anyway, I went off to grind. I am now level 52, with some good gear equipped. It wasn't all grind, because there were other main quests to do.
However SoW, is a grind arena and no doubt about that. It's a bit 70% love, and 30% hate, relationship with this game. Grinding captains is a blast. However it feels purposeless. I mean you even forget the main characters in the main story. Basically because you are doing endless side quests to kill captains.
With 110 hours in SoW, I think it qualifies me to rate it. Probably 7/10, but a blast! .................. It depends what you want. I have been stuck in five maps, for 110 hours. Bored now.
110 hours, and maybe 15 hours in main quest. Should have been 10 hours in main quest, but they put a hell of hard captain, at the end of Act 1. Took me six hours to complete that quest.
Whereas Shadow of Mordor; I loved it.
Rating for Shadow Warrior 2. Right now I hate it. 2/10. Only played 7 hours though, so need to give it more time. Seven hours in three weeks says it all though.
