Middle-Earth: Shadow of War leaked by US retailer

I really liked the first one. I played it quite a bit. The controls weren't the best, but I got used to them. By the end I was pretty much indestructible.
 
I loved the first game, the nemesis system really made m genuinely hate certain enemies. There was this one OP Uruk that had an explosive crossbow that was totally OP that I found impossible to kill.

The controls were not the best, but was easy enough to get past with practice.

That was easily its highlight. Deliberately avoiding a tough Uruk until you levelled up and felt more confident to take him on was a unique and thrilling experience.

Nah, intervene when a different orc challenges him and swoop in at the end of the fight to kill both. :D

That was the problem. When you got to the level where that ability was unlocked the game became way too easy. It was still fun and satisfying, but you were basically invincible. All the challenge of having such an opponent disappeared. That level 25 Uruk who could block almost every attack and had a ranged magic crossbow, even he felt puny after you could manipulate other Uruk's and use collectibles to constantly regain health, focus, and elf-shot.

Nah, this was before I got that ability, both were enemy Uruks in that fight.

I agree, the possession power does change the game a lot, but not necessarily in a positive way as you just used them to take out any potential rivals.

What I would have liked was a really high level cap, something that encouraged you to continue playing and advancing. More variety of enemies that were more and more challenging would be good as well.
