The Lord of the Rings: Gollum launches today, the reviews are here, and, well… it seems Gollum might have been right when he said, “you don’t have any friends, nobody likes you…”The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is out today for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and the reviews are pouring in: it seems Shelob and the Mouth of Sauron aren’t the only things Gollum has to fear.The Lord of the Rings: Gollum launches to poor reviews Rock Paper Shotgun: No score. “It’s unfortunate, but The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum fails to expand the world of Middle-earth in any meaningful way. There are glimmers of something good(ish) in there, but it’s suffocated by a disjointed story, awkward controls and dull stealth.” The Guardian: 1/5 “A derivative, uninteresting and fundamentally broken stealth action adventure that fails to capture anything interesting about Tolkien’s fiction.” GameSpot: 2/10 “Daedalic’s long-delayed Tolkienian adventure is just as unlikeable and tragic as its namesake protagonist.” PCGamesN: 3/10 “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum fails to live up to both the Tolkien name and its own potential. From exhausting, repetitive gameplay to a poorly constructed narrative, this is a piece of Middle-earth you should never explore.”GamesRadar+: 2/5 “Much like its title character, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is compromised, inelegant, and a bit of an eyesore. To everyone except the most fervent of Tolkienites; you shall pass.”The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ Pre-orderPlay as Gollum on his quest to retrieve his Precious. You will need to climb the mountains of Mordor, sneak around Mirkwood and make difficult choices. Who will gain the upper hand: the cunning Gollum or the innocent Smeagol?So… any of you still keen to follow Gollum across Middle-Earth? What are your thoughts?
