    J.R.R Tolkien würde sich nicht nur im Grabe umdrehen wenn er dieses Spiel spielen würde , er würde aus dem Grabe auferstehen und die Entwickler alle einzeln verprügeln

    Truly the worst video game ever developed by humanity. Will dismantle your sanity from top to bottom! You thought Jedi Survivor had horrendous performance optimization? Gollum bests it in garbage at every turn with continuous frame rate drops from Lucifier's most malignant garden concocted. Unspeakably abysmal gameplay with the worst platforming of all time. Phasing through levels isTruly the worst video game ever developed by humanity. Will dismantle your sanity from top to bottom! You thought Jedi Survivor had horrendous performance optimization? Gollum bests it in garbage at every turn with continuous frame rate drops from Lucifier's most malignant garden concocted. Unspeakably abysmal gameplay with the worst platforming of all time. Phasing through levels is normal now. Frame tears constantly, stuttering borderline schizophrenia psychosis! As if ANYONE developing this waste of silicon isn't certifiably Borderline Personality Disorder! To make a game this putrid takes serious effort and Daedalic Entertainment has truly gone the extra miles to make you LOATHE video games that ever resemble Lord Of The Rings again.

    There isn't a character that won't make you desire permanent blindness, with nonexistent art design or vision to back up this trash. Unspeakable controls which restrict movement and freedom at every turn. UI from the bottom of hell. Gollum is the worst offender of all, with a preschool garbage voiceover who is an utter disgrace to the legendary Andry Serkis in every POSSIBLE metric. But it gets even more abysmal, as Daedalic Entertainment actually thought giving Gollum an emo haircut that Chemical Romance would excrement their pants mocking for hours on end in front of a live audience of thousands. The game over screen will glitch you out of the game randomly.

    Gollum serves as a slave for carboard orcs with zero personality or soul, as if anything in this game was developed by people with souls. If you like an under 20 FPS garbage climbing simulator, pressing PS1 quality levers and utterly amateurish level designs that make Ride To Hell Retribution play like Tears Of The Kingdom, boy...do I have the video game for you!

    Of course LOTR Gollum has eye gouging microtransactions and lootboxes too! There isn't one element of good game design that LOTR Gollum doesn't desecrate and violate without apology, one single aspect of gameplay this garbage doesn't utterly **** up.

    I highly recommend as many people purchase LOTR Gollum as possible, for the sole purpose of a public burning of every copy and a Kickstarter to ensure Daedalic Entertainment is forbidden from ever developing another Lord Of The Rings game ever again. The WORST OF THE WORST, actual simulated torture from hell, the cancer of the industry.    … Expand

    An absolutely ugly mess. Take your money and throw it out the window. At least, you'll get some crisp graphics for a moment.

    This is the most bugged game a saw for a ten years. There is no chance you will complete even onboarding without lagging, texture dropping, or stucking without a possibility to avoid a critical bug. Please do not buy this hell

    The graphics, the animation, the UI, everything here looks like we've gone back a good 17 years. The technical state of the game is also bad, reminiscent of clinical death, making the game almost unplayable. [Issue#328]

    A superb Gollum isn’t enough to save the game he’s been parachuted into, which is by turns dull and frustrating. It’s destined for Mount Doom (the bargain bins). [Issue#29, p.92]

    From its abysmal graphics to its utter failure of delivering Middle Earth in any interesting way, this is an example of a game that should be scrapped from its concept inception.
