![]() The platforming aspects started off ok, but I struggled at times with precision control with mouse/keyboard which got frustrating. While I enjoyed most of what I played, it didn’t fully satiate my hunger for a rich LOTR game, and I put this down to there being very few familiar characters for me. ![]() I was excited to get more of an insight into the titular character Gollum/Sméagol and what he got up to in the selected time period that spans several years. It launched on May 25, 2023, on PC, PlayStation and Xbox and this review focuses on the PC version. The fact that he was living off of raw fish and other living creatures didn’t help his disfigurement, either, until a time came when nothing remained of the former Smeagol in terms of looks.The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a story-driven action adventure game by Daedalic Entertainment and co-published by Nacon. It’s not clear if it was guilt or the Ring’s own addiction that pushed him down a life of misery and indulgence, but the magical object prolonged his life and slowly twisted his Hobbit body. He went to the Misty Mountains then and lived there for over four hundred years. Smeagol was further corrupted by the Ring’s influence, and thus cast out of the village by his Hobbit kin. Smeagol suggested that Deagol should make a gift of the Ring to him for his birthday, but when Deagol resisted, his friend - already far into the grip of its magical temptation - choked him to death. On his 33rd birthday, he and his friend Deagol went fishing in the river, where they came upon the One Ring. ![]() He was a Hobbit of Stoorish descent and lived in the Vales of Anduin. Smeagol was born in the 2430th year of the Third Age, some 600 years before the events of The Lord of the Rings.
