Nothing goes right for poor Gollum. Although something tells us that this was coming. In context, today is the launch day of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, a game that, no matter how much The Lord of the Rings license it has, seems to have shown shortcomings from the beginning and is more like a AA game that as a great production of narrative and cinematographic label.
And today was also the day the embargo was lifted for those who have been looking at it over the past few days. The fears are confirmed and after several problems in its development and the occasional delay, the adventures of Gollum are released on consoles and PC with a widespread disappointment by the main media in the sector, as we will see below.
But first, let’s see the launch trailer just released by NACON:
First notes of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
It is clear that the endearing character of The Lord of the Rings will never be lucky. Not in books, not in movies, not in video games. These are the first notes of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum from some media in the sector:
- 6.5/10 – TechRaptor
- 6/10 – Shacknews
- 5.5/10 – Try Hard Guides
- 5/10 – But Why Tho?
- 4/10 – We Got This Covered
- 4/10 – Gamer Escape
- 4/10 – GGRecon
- 3/10 – Twinfinite
- 3/10 – Inverse
- 3/10 – PCGamesN
- 3/10 – WellPlayed
- 2/10 – The Guardian
With an average score that does not exceed 40 by much on Metacritic, among the most outstanding and unanimous critics we find that the game developed by Daedalic Entertainment suffers serious technical problems wrapped in a boring gameplaytoo linear and with very limited mechanics.
We agree that the story, the gameplay and its mechanics can be subjectively assessed and that “tastes are colors”, but what cannot be tolerated is that a video game is launched on the market completely broken. Those responsible for the title promised a stable 60 fps at launch, but not only that is the problem, but the game falls apart and has many bugs and problems.
The duration of Lord of the Rings Gollum can reach 20 hours

The Daedalic Entertainment and NACON title seems indicated only for the most staunch fans of The Lord of the Rings and its video games, as it has been positioned and valued as one of the worst releases of 2023. All the criticisms of the sector point to the fact that it is necessary to flee from him as from the Eye of Sauron. We are warned.
