    If you are a The Lord of the Rings fan like me, I simply cannot recommend the game. Everything is packed into a standalone project, easily forgettable and unsatisfying to play. [Not recommended]

    But even these moments of spectacle can't hide what is ultimately a very dull game. It's also quite janky, and I spotted plenty of canned animation loops, characters getting stuck in scenery, and Gollum clipping or jittering through the environment on several occasions to name just a few. But even if it were technically sound, Gollum is simply a game that fails to expand the world of Middle-earth in any meaningful way. There are glimmers of something here, but like the ring itself, this is best chucked into the bowels of Mount Doom and forgotten about forever.

    $70 for this abomination feels like a slap in the face. The publisher should be paying people to play it instead! Outdated graphics that look$70 for this abomination feels like a slap in the face. The publisher should be paying people to play it instead! Outdated graphics that look like nightmare fuel, outdated gameplay that's boring and poorly implemented and the system requirements like it was the next best thing! And that doesn't even cover the bugs - a staple of modern gaming! Just... just avoid this one.… Full Review »

    This must be a joke. Worst title of the year, don't waste your time and money on this awful game.
