As if this season wasn't packed enough with games to play, the acclaimed 'Nemesis system' Lord of the Rings games Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War finally come to Switch 2 later this month.

The short version

  • Set to launch on the console on the 30th September, both Lord of the Rings games boast all previously released DLC.
  • Aspyr seems to have handled the conversions, and both games are available in a new bundle that you can pre-order for 50 percent off.
  • Without the discount, the bundle sells for £62.99 / $70.

What happened

In Eurogamer's Shadow of Mordor review from 2015, Aoife Wilson - like so many other people - praised the game's procedural Nemesis system, whereby the game's enemies could level up after encounters with you and rise through their own ranks. This system helped make an otherwise passable open-world action games feel refreshing.

Why it matters

Johnny Chiodini reviewed Shadow of War in 2017 , but felt that improved gameplay was let down by a dreadful story.
