I opted for a decked-out silver ring embedded with glistening purple jewels, a ring befitting a Dwarf Lord. Rise to War's biggest offence is the alliances you form A strategy-based MMO where players must manage their resources and occupy land sounds perfect for Middle Earth, but would it forsake my precious lore on its way to battle? I jumped into the game’s beta to find out. And that’s why I was worried when Lord of the Rings: Rise to War was announced.
While there were even more timeline and lore discretions that I simply don’t have the word count to delve into, Shadow of War put hardcore Tolkien fans on edge. Shelob transforms into a sexy woman with the aura of Sauron’s ex? What about the Nazgul sisters? Or Helm Hammerhand and worse Isildur, he who cut the Ring from Sauron’s finger himself, being resurrected from death’s door to become wraiths? However, Shadow of War played fast and loose with the revered lore. Middle Earth: Shadow of War was an incredibly fun time – from riding dragons to repeatedly killing one godforsaken cockney orc warlord who wouldn’t stop taunting me, the gameplay kept you coming back for more. Lord of the Rings games have a habit of taking liberties with JRR Tolkien’s deep and complex lore.
