The Lord of the Rings: Gollum reviewed by Justin Koreis on PC, also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch.
Why, of all the interesting characters in The Lord of the Rings lore, would anyone want to play an entire game as Gollum? Why would one trade the solid action of prior games in this universe, like Shadow of Mordor, for busywork, uninspired and frustrating platforming, and bad stealth? It’s not clear who this is for, or what it was intended to achieve. What is clear is that it’s not fun to play, and not something to recommend to any but the most curious and dedicated Lord of the Rings fan.

We need a game studio to get this license and make a LOTR immersive open world single player rpg like the witcher or elden ring or skyrim where you can roam around middle-earth and a race you pick and then start at different locations, like if you pick a hobbit you would start at the shire or if you are an elf you would start at the elven woods and go on an epic quest with 4 npc party members (like dragons dogma) while fighting big bosses and searching abandoned dwarven tombs in mountains fighting orca and demons and dragons. This is what we want from LOTR!!!

Ah, yes. Because even if it's an entirely different game from an entirely different studio about an entirely different story and character, everyone knows you can only work on one LOTR game at a time. As silly as it seems, the only reason this game got made is because the director of Daedalic Entertainment defeated the director of Monolith Productions after challenging him to a best of 3 rock, paper, scissors showdown in front of a council comprised of the descendants of JRR Tolkien himself, thus winning the right to make Gollum. Luckily for us, Monolith spent all the time they weren't allowed to be working on a SoW sequel developing one of the most advanced RPS (rock, paper, scissors) training facilities in the world to ensure nothing like this happens ever again.

They could have done a shadow of gollum game and had a sick skill tree and sneaky stealth orientated combat like when you poison the grog in the other shadow of games
