User Reviews
- The story focusing on Gollum's journey is genuinely interesting, offering depth to a character we usually only see from the outside. A unique premise for a LOTR game.
- The platforming mechanics are challenging and rewarding once you master Gollum's erratic movements. Successfully sneaking past enemies feels fantastic.
- The concept of managing the Sméagol/Gollum split through dialogue choices provides deep role-playing elements and truly makes you feel the character's internal conflict.
- Visually, the dark, oppressive atmosphere of Mordor is captured perfectly, setting a grim tone for this desperate quest.
- The game successfully expands the lore, focusing on areas and events previously only mentioned in passing in the main saga.
