May 27, 2023Bellisimo, superb I say, superb. Anyone who asserts otherwise is just going with the flow.
Do what is right, not what is popular. -
May 27, 2023Not sure what everyone's complaining about. Sure it's 70 dollars and looks like it's from the PS2 era, but come on, it's LOTR people! Let's all band together and recommend the game, so we can encourage the industry to continue making games inspired by Middle Earth.

May 27, 2023Absolutely sublime... It's like I have ascended and played a game concocted by Tolkien himself. Thankyou for adding to the already magnaminous legacy, that is the Tolkien franchise.

Jun 3, 2023Interesting characters and beautiful picture, good atmosphere of Middle-Earth, but long climbing may bored you.

May 28, 2023This will go down as one of the games ever released. Truly a most smeagoling experience!
-
May 30, 2023Stand together men. For while those who despise this game may pour out from the cracks of this earth, we shall abate the horde and send these encroaching, dithering vermin back from whence they came!

Sep 5, 2023I 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.

Game World Navigator MagazineAug 29, 2023Daedalic 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]

Aug 8, 2023There 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.
