What a weird game idea. To have gollum to chores in prison while raising a pet bird.
Could have had a stealth-action game where you try to sneak out while killing guards and shit, but instead we get this. Though that said, I think it would have been hard to make a proper game around the premise to begin with.
Whomever brainstormed the idea really didn’t know what they were doing. Probably just wanted to get free money by latching onto the IP.
I watched a forty minute gameplay preview of this yesterday. PS3 graphics, Gollum looks like the lovechild of Raz from psychonauts and a rectal thermometer, and the elves sound like they’re attending a high society yacht club. It misses the mark on so many levels. It’s also one of those games where the character frequently narrates their mundane actions from point a to point b.
Everybody was all mad for years about the conservative licensing regime under Christopher Tolkien, but it seems pretty clear now that “protect my father’s legacy by not allowing endless waves of expensive crap” was a sound strategy.
On the plus side, we have less than 10 years to go until The Hobbit enters public domain and Gollum-related art will have to compete on quality rather than license deals.
Developers at Daedalic actually sat down and made this absolute piece of shit. Someone spent hours trying to make this gollum model lmfao. Imagine giving one look at this and thinking “yeah this looks good enough for people to buy it for 60 buckaroos”
I’d much rather work for a hentai asset flip studio who makes big titty waifus for a living.
Watched the skill up review and holy fuck is this game bad. I wouldn’t even play it if it was for free. Hell, I wouldn’t even finish it if they paid me $70. You have to pay $10 extra dollars for COMPLETE Voice lines???? This game deserve to be a dumpster fire
It’s a race for the worst game of 2023! Will it be Redfall? Gollum? A new mystery contender? What game demanding $60/$70 will fail so hard to get this coveted title?
The font choice is puzzling.
It looks like a hastily made powerpoint slide
Looks like Spot from The Good Dinosaur
Literally who even asked for a Gollum game?
What’s next? A Jar Jar Binks RPG? A JarJaRPG?!
They really should pick up different graphics style(type). This one looks cursed. Even 16-bit graphics would look better.
They ask 60€ for this on PS5 btw.
I don’t understand how you can be so shameless. The gameplay is utter dogshit too
The look on the face of the second Gollum says it all, it’s like “WTF happened to this game” lol
The graphics was already PS3. Now it looks like psp.

Wait… this is what the game looks like, with system recommendations of 16GB RAM and an RTX 30 series?
This, looks, terrible.
they’re….they’re not the same game?
Latest contender for worst GOTY.
I know gollum is ugly, but this model is ugly. What’s the point of his game?
… Is this an actual screenshot from the game? (Please just be trolling or whatever, this can’t be the real thing)
Can’t wait to try out this new Nintendo DS game
Just Wait until you see the system requirements….
And this very graphics demands like 16Ram and 2060RTX as minimum requerment?!
Telltale games looked more fancy on my tablet.
Fucker looks like he skinned the evil chef from Ratatouille and wore his face.
I could forgive the visuals, but the “gameplay” is so absurd, it’s like they didn’t had any ideas.
Gollum game of the year. First game to sell 1 gollillion copies!

If you paid $70 for this garbage you don’t deserve to get your money back lol
This game may have saved Red Fall from winning worst game of the year. Utter dog shit.

second pic looks like Gollum dropped an unexpected turd in his loin cloth, wtf is going on here??

Stay tuned!
Couldn’t Gollum just take the helmet off? Then he’d be able to go kill that orc.
