I like how Shadow of War picks up right where Shadow of Mordor left off. Instead of starting from scratch and pulling some Metroid bullshit, you’re popping heads within the first five minutes and after a few hours you’re riding dragons like Khalessi… That game is awesomely chaotic.
And here’s an article from someone with cerebral palsy arguing AGAINST that Polygon “wah wah be inclusive” bullshit: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/10/11/opinion-the-value-of-inaccessible-games.aspx Though to be fair having cerebral palsy isn’t nearly as debilitating as Feminism.
And get Sargon on.

I am liking how the game just jumps right into the action, for sure.
