017 - Middle Earth: Shadow Of War
Welcome to Xbox Game Passengers.\n\nEvery other Wednesday, host Derek and a guest will dissect and discuss just one game available on Microsoft\u2019s Game Pass service, which was chosen for them completely at random.\n\nWhether it\u2019s a magical or a horrible experience, they\u2019ll force themselves through it, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the game is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they\u2019ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what\u2019s coming up on the next adventure.\n\nThis time around, newcomer (and host of the Super GG Radio gaming podcast) Joel joins Derek to chat about the well received Lord of the Rings basically Assassin\u2019s Creed game, Middle Earth: Shadow of War. It really, really feels like Assassin\u2019s Creed, and it also really doesn\u2019t do a great job of getting you invested in its characters (especially if you haven\u2019t played the first game in the series, Shadow of Mordor).\n\nGo behind enemy lines to forge your army, conquer Fortresses and dominate Mordor from within. Experience how the award winning Nemesis System creates unique personal stories with every enemy and follower, and confront the full power of the Dark Lord Sauron and his Ringwraiths in this epic new story of Middle-earth.\n\nIn Middle-earth\u2122: Shadow of War\u2122, nothing will be forgotten.\n\nWe\u2019ve had a blast making Xbox Game Passengers so far, and we really hope that you\u2019re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we\u2019d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net.
