![]() ![]() This is, in my opinion, a little bit arrogant. Playing as a violent, unhinged cave-dwelling half-creature was the only thing that could possibly have redeemed this game in my eyes, and they even managed to miss that mark entirely. They’ve assumed – incorrectly, in my case at least – that nobody wants to play as a gross swamp creature. This version of Gollum is obviously designed to be cuter than the books/movies portray him, with a mop of messy hair and big, soulful eyes. By making a game out of Gollum’s “untold story”, they’ve essentially Disneyfied a tragic villain and stripped away the things that make him compelling as a character. I don’t understand how it ever came into existence. Right off the bat, a Lord of the Rings game starring Gollum as the main character is absolutely not a big draw. This is such an unfortunate circumstance – not just for me having to play a decent chunk of it, but for all the people who’ve spent years of their lives working on this mistake. ![]() Loathe as I am to add another boot to the Gollum shit-kicking party, I did unfortunately receive a review code, and as a result I must do my duty and deliver an article.
