    Pros:
    - The core gameplay was excellent
    - The 3 campaigns were a good length and variable enough to make it interesting
    - Strong UI and mix of cards

    Cons:
    - Online game, gave me issues a couple times
    - It can be frustrating to get deep into a quest to realize you need a deck with a different archtype. While fun building a deck I would prefer each quest have a deck prebuilt to make the quest specifically challenging and consistent.    … Expand

    Glitchy, glitchy, glitchy. Very annoying to try to play. Too bad, has potential.

    Lord of the Rings: The Adventure Card Game is charming, if stunted by some inconsistent voice acting and less polished user interface. While some might have wished for player-versus-player options included, the single-player focus allows the card game to hone-in on its core strength – engaging narrated storytelling tied into a solid card game foundation. If you are a lone ring bearer rather than part of a fellowship, this could be a precious experience to you.

    The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game offers up an unusual mixture of cooperative play and narrative-driven battles that flies in the face of more traditional digital CCGs. If you’re looking for a card game more aligned with the rules of a tabletop effort, with more of a role-playing focus, this is definitely going to appeal. The lack of proper support for online PvP is an odd omission considering how popular that feature is in other entries in the genre, but a refreshing lack of suffocating microtransactions does help soothe that wound.

    The co-op angle alone is enough for The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game to stand out above the crowd, especially on consoles with cross-play support.
