    This game has high technical requirements. Gollum is a very good game for the game it wants to be. You climb the whole time, move with gollum and have the lore around.
    It has better graphics, hard riddles and a good gameplay feeling. The story is LOTR. All in all great game, you could buy the hardware for it, but also playable on lower. Way better in relation to titles that get hype bot ratings.

    Yes what happened here? Devs should give this game a big makeover or a pricedrop now.

    Better than I expected. Some cool ideas but most likely not enough budget to implement correctly.

    I really wanted to like The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. I genuinely wanted to enjoy a unique take on a game set in the Lord of the Rings universe. Sadly, Gollum misses the mark. While the story is actually interesting, the gameplay, bugs and mechanics make it a painful slog.

    Daedalic knew how to make the adventure part work – and it does work, more or less – but everything else screams “amateur hour” so hard, it borders on naïve art. [Issue#262, p.64]

    There is no sense in pointing out any specific bad decisions — The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is awful on some basic level of a game design. Almost every task infuriates me in this game.
