+ Gameplay from combat, to loot, to small, less significant stuff like crafting, bartering etc. + Characters are well-written and amazingly voice-acted + the sheer amount of dialogue you can indulge yourself in is quite huge for an action game It's nothing world-shattering but it is enjoyable journey from start to finish (and it respects and complements the source material) + Level design is stellar - from the actual maps to small details like beautiful concept-art screenshots during loading screens + Graphics, although slightly dated, perfectly encapsulate the grim atmosphere of LOTR That, of course, is no easy task due to the removal of the game from Steam because licensing is a pain in the orc's a**. That being said, this lesser issue is saved by the combat being stellar, punchy and extremely enjoyable throughout most of the game - that and also the fact that you have 3 different heroes to choose from, each with their unique moveset and gameplay which makes it fun to experiment with.Īll-in-all, War in the North is a game fans of LOTR movies-based games should not miss as you get plenty of value from it and, for me at least, it has entered the halls of the best LOTR games out there. That can often end up being both its bane and its boon, mainly because the combat will get repetitive to a certain extent as there isn't that much variation to it. Of course, the main draw of WITN is, without a doubt, its gameplay and combat specifically. While the actual story isn't something to write ballads about, it is handled well enough and all three playable characters along with new (and existing) side characters are written to be quite likable and have a plenty to say and I have to say - it is rather pleasant to listen to. Story, while non-canonical, is written in a way where it does not contradict anything set up in the LOTR trilogy and in fact makes it a plausible scenario, something that could have very easily taken place during War of the Ring. A monstrous team receives a suitably bleak Blood Bowl pitch, one of the Warmaster’s favoured warriors receives a spectacular Horus Heresy miniature, and Black Library brings back a Gotrek and Felix classic. And that is a mighty shame as it is one of the best games set in Middle-Earth we have ever gotten but not one that would grow to enjoy vast popularity.Īpart from the obvious aspects that make it great (like combat, level design or voice-acting), one characteristic of WITN that stands out to me is just how careful and delicate the developers were with handling Tolkien's lore while inserting their own take into it. The Mortal Realms quake in preparation for Dominion ’s launch, but there are plenty of other goings-on next week. War in the North can now be officially considered a lost gem of LOTR games, given the fact it has been pulled out of Steam.
