Reviews have dropped for Middle-earth: Shadow of War and they’re looking pretty good so far. The game itself isn’t out until October 10, so to prep you for it, and in case you’ve not played Shadow of Mordor, Warner Bros. has a 101 trailer, where you’re in the giant, capable hands of Bruz the Chopper, a jovial Australian troll. Or, olog hai, technically.

Bruz gives you the rundown on what happened in the previous game, who the key players are, as well as how the updated Nemesis System works. You’ll also get to see the kind of the unique orcs the system will generate for you.

Bruz himself is basically the only orc you can guarantee will be in everyone’s version of Shadow of War. He helps you when you’re first building up your forces, and is very easy to get attached to.
