The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Review



The Lord of the Rings: Gollum reviewed by Justin Koreis on PC, also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch.

Why, of all the interesting characters in The Lord of the Rings lore, would anyone want to play an entire game as Gollum? Why would one trade the solid action of prior games in this universe, like Shadow of Mordor, for busywork, uninspired and frustrating platforming, and bad stealth? It’s not clear who this is for, or what it was intended to achieve. What is clear is that it’s not fun to play, and not something to recommend to any but the most curious and dedicated Lord of the Rings fan.

    If they made a game about gollum, atleast make an openworld survival game.

    Litterally a Gollumn simulator: The world is joyless, boring while you don’t do anything but somehow go on an adventure…. All While seeing the world in peak Lord of the Rings graphics (PS2 Two Towers graphics)

    This review was probably more entertaining than the game it was covering haha.

    To save you guys the time of watching the video, IGN gave it a 10

    Cant believe devs actually sat down with interviewers to showcase this mess of a game!

    Guys, guys, for a game made in Dreams, this is pretty impressive!

    this is what happens when people start making video games for money but never actually played video games. Video games are getting worse because it has become a bigger market. Plus there are so many tools that make it easier to make one that you don't have to love video games to actually try to do it.

    Can we all agree to just not play this as a collective.

  14. Jeff Couture

    Game creators likes these people should never be allowed to make games ever again

    How did it still get a 4? Review inflation is insane. A 4 is just below average.
