Let me start out by saying that every negative review of Lord of the Rings: Gollum is 100 percent correct. It is a glitch-ridden, nigh-unplayable mess that is in no way worth $60 and makes a mockery of my PS5’s power. This unfinished, buggy embarrassment has the temerity to already...
is 100 percent correct. It is a glitch-ridden, nigh-unplayable mess that is in no way worth $60 and makes a mockery of my PS5’s power. This unfinished, buggy embarrassment has the temerity to already be selling DLC when the game itself is as far from done as The Shire is from Mordor.is very frustrating , I can’t stop playing it. Here is what there is to love about this piece of shit.was such a hit last year is that the game was built around traversal with a non-human protagonist.
The level of commitment to personalizing the villains extends into characters like the Candle Man and his daughter and even The Mouth of Sauron. The latter gets a really neat new character design as well that is frankly better than the Peter Jackson reimagining. These are well-written, compelling villains, and they make the game intriguing.The main mechanic of the game is Gollum climbing through the pits. Many times, the path forward is not obvious even with the level marker.
Occasionally, Gollum will argue with himself over a course of action, and the two sides of his mind will have to decide what to do. This is done with a badly executed dialogue tree, but the idea behind it is genius. As with Gollum’s motions, this is a perfect rendition of an aspect of Gollum’s character in game form. It could be better done, but the idea behind it is solid., but it does have redeeming qualities.
