Amazing combat and Nemesis system but severely hampered by microtransactions, filler content, and grindy final act.
ZP: organic fun building orc command; aggressive micropayments gate end-game.
AJ: 7-8/10 — Nemesis and Siege great; dangerous loot box precedent.
Bigger, deeper, more exciting than the original with excellent Nemesis system; significant microtransaction concerns darken an otherwise good game.

“A bloated sequel that removes what made the first game special by shifting from a focused experience to a retention-focused product packed with repetitive missions and frustrating mechanics.”
Watch - MMortismal Gaming👍 positive
“A refined sequel with an excellent Nemesis system that is the best version of this unique mechanic available, expanded with siege/conquest mechanics, interesting story about Talion's tragedy, and fun DLC options. Despite some minor annoyances with controls and gear systems, the core experience and emergent gameplay make it worth playing.”

“A masterpiece tribute to Monolith Studios. The creator praises the game's cinematic storytelling, spectacular graphics on Xbox Series X, excellent gameplay variety with the Nemesis System, and contrasts it favorably with modern service-oriented games.”
