I suppose the leaning back position, as freaky as it is, means the cradle is better shaped to hold your tech. It's an awkward experience, to say the least, but running up against these types of bizarre, broken sequences that add little value to the overall texture of Tolkien's fantasy are sadly far too common an occurrence in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Even when the bugs aren't game-breaking, they're certainly distracting, from characters talking without opening their mouths in cutscenes, to them not showing up in the frame at all thanks to off-kilter camerawork. Until Gollum meets Sam and Frodo in Tolkien's books, he operates mostly as a passive observer of, and victim to, events around him, and the game's plot reflects this lack of agency, colouring in the gaps of his backstory with low-stakes contextual filler involving a lot of prison labour drained of narrative momentum.

Perhaps The Lord of the Rings: Gollum's lack of polish would be less of an issue if its gameplay left a better impression, but unfortunately much of it boils down to standard stealth-platformer fare frustrated further by wonky controls and hapless AI. Mind you, this Lord of the Rings figure can also be used to hold your TV remote, console controller or smartphone.

Daedalic said in an FAQ that it chose Gollum because he is "one of the most fascinating characters" that Tolkien ever came up with.Find your way past the Orcs as you climb the Dark Tower of Barad-dur and give the Elves the slip in the mysterious Mirkwood. It's being made in partnership with Middle-earth Enterprises, the holding company that controls the rights to the series. Gollum is capable of killing an enemy via a well-timed stealth throttle attack, but doing so takes a long time, and exposes him to potential discovery, making it a wiser choice to instead stay hidden in the shadows, distracting enemies with rocks, climbing around them, or deploying Gollum's stealth vision sense to find the way forward. Co-published by Daedalic Entertainment and Nacon, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is developed by a small team of passionate Tolkienites at Daedalic Entertainment in partnership with Middle-earth Enterprises. Gollum is voiced in the game by Wayne Forester, who also did voice work for Elden Ring and Sniper Elite 5 recently.

Ultimately, it's difficult not to come out of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum with a sour taste in the mouth. You end up wishing Daedalic had considered a performance built around a completely new interpretation of the character, but by instead skewing too closely to the one that everyone knows and loves, this Gollum never manages to truly escape Serkis' shadow. This is partly due to Daedalic adopting a more sympathetic view of Gollum than other adaptations have, exploring the suffering that the deformed Hobbit has endured under those who too often underestimated him, and even giving him a few friendlier faces to bond with along the way.It is up to you to decide whether to yield to the darker side of Gollum or trust the kinder gentler hint of Smeagol. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is developed by Daedalic Entertainment, a German studio known for the Deponia franchise, among others.
