Middle-earth: Shadow of War

You play a ranger in Mordor who builds an army of orcs and takes fortresses from the inside. Enemy captains are generated with their own names, strengths and grudges, and they remember how earlier fights with you went. Combat is third-person action, mixed with stealth and open-world exploration. Is it your kind of game?
