This isn't a game, it's a torture device...
DanteSwordX31 May 2023
This thing, shouldn't be called a game.

It was designed by Germans as a torture device to inflict pain on the user.

What were they thinking when they decided to release it in it's current state?!

They just shipped the unfinished product. Gollum gets stuck, dies because he touched the wrong box, enemies try to shoot you shooting the ground and if they don't have crossbows they just stand and look at walls.

Sometimes your screen may start shaking so you have to force yourself to get through it blindly, not seeing anything on screen.

Devs should be ashamed of themselves, they not only wasted such a licence... they also disrespecterd The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien... or maybe how they called it in their apology - "The Lord of Ring".

This game is me precious!!
Oh, I loves it, the humanity, the controls, the graphics, me loves it all. The Lord of Ring: Gollum Gollum is great.

No, we hates it, we don't wants it. The pain, the pain, the pain, it is real. I can't jump, I get stuck, the developers said they were gonna revolutionize stealth gameplay? Then why does we have broken A. I? It has early 1990s stealth mechanics? No, no, no, no, wrong! This is a scam, there is no way they spent longer than 1 month on this game. Scam, scam, scam!

Why don't you likes it? It is torment, and you know we loves torment. We loves money! $70.00 Americana Dollars, think about what we can buy with it. We can hire people to help use get ze precious, MY PRECIOUS which I must have. Give me more money.

Why is this a thing? Why precious, why? Don't do this, don't wants it precious, throw me into Mount Doom instead of another second in this game. Precious, precious, find my precious so I can disappear away!!!

Gollum and Daedalics rating = 10/10 (aka F**ck you give us money)

Smeagol and everyone else = 0/10.

Summary: This game is me precious!!

They should be offering refunds for this.

Warning: Spoilers
Really disappointed with Gollum. It's a buggy mess that fails to deliver on any front. $70 feels like a highway robbery for this repetitive slog. The controls are unresponsive, making even basic platforming a chore. Glitches with the AI mechanics and frames dropping constantly disrupt the flow, and the game crashes way too often.

To get the Platinum trophy, you will have to beat the game without dying. Unless they improve the platforming dynamics, that's just not possible.

Gollum's internal conflict, a potentially fascinating theme, is wasted entirely. The narrative choices feel pointless, and the world itself is bland and forgettable. Developer apologies can't excuse this dumpster fire of a game. Stay far away unless you enjoy frustration and a severe case of buyer's remorse. I ended up deleting the game around chapter 4.
