Set between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth: Shadow of War is Monolith’s open world action sequel in the same range as Shadow of Mordor, and it sits alongside games like Assassin’s Creed and Batman: Arkham for stealthy brawling and map-clearing. This is a Steam key for PC, so you’re buying a digital licence and downloading it to your Steam library rather than getting a boxed copy.
Is Shadow of War still worth playing on PC?
Yes, if you want a long campaign with plenty of side content and a combat system built around counters, gadgets and crowd control. The standout remains the Nemesis system, where enemy captains remember fights, adapt to your tactics and can climb the ranks, giving your playthrough its own rivalries and stories. It also leans harder into building an orc army and taking fortresses, which adds a strategic layer between the missions.
