The story is basically about a nominally good guy using a bunch of extremely evil magic shit to try to defeat Sauron, and though he ultimately fails at this specific, he actually succeeds at doing a bunch of other good stuff, including saving the world by containing the armies of Mordor for a while. - ThreadSky

There's a bunch of other aberrations in this game, but this is the big one. "Trying to use evil to defeat evil will only produce more of it" is literally the most basic, essential theme of the story, and of course the devs had modern cynicism brainrot so here we are.

Well, I figured that would be it, which is the reason I didn’t buy it.

The themes are indeed out of wack but the gameplay is so much more fun than the first one's.

Speaking of the devil by the way. The studio that made Shadow of War was shut down today.

Huh. That’s a shame. “Nemesis engine but it’s Wonder Woman instead of defiling Tolkien” was a game I was actually looking forward to. Sad to hear it sucked so badly they decided to simply never let the world see it.

Same actually. I was kind of excited for that Wonder Woman game.

Also sucks that we can't blame that one on Zaslav too. He might be the devil incarnate, but the issue here apparently was *another* shitty boss that had already fucked everything before Zaslav came aboard.
