Gollum’s game sticks to the original, but falls behind in terms of graphics

In terms of story and factuality, I dare say that even the biggest fans will be satisfied. We learned that one of the writers is an as yet unnamed connoisseur of the Lord of the Rings world. He even studied linguistics and is currently writing his doctoral dissertation on Tolkien’s work. In addition, we also know that this book-inspired game. Whole world, visual middle earth and above all, the characters are created according to Tolkien, and not from films Peter Jackson.

This, of course, worries those who just want all the characters to look like they know them from the movies. But let’s look at the main character. Silly. In the game, one might say, more cute, or, if you like, more childish. Not just to make him more likeable as the main character. Indeed, when goofy he looks in the mirror, he doesn’t see the old hideous creature that we see, but he sees a hobbit. Of course, a little broken by long years of living in darkness. But that’s why Gollum looks the way he looks in the game, because that’s how he sees himself. Other characters are also slightly different from the films. For example Thranduil, king of the elvesdad Legolas, looks in Gollum’s game … let’s say so more brightly. His clothes are lush, playful and perfectly emphasize the elf’s connection with nature.

In addition to elves and goblins, we happened to see a kind old man in the presentation Sauron and one brand new character – Servant of Sauronwho is speaking candle man He really is such an inquisitor. He sends out spies throughout Middle-earth to gather information for The Dark Lord, and sees great potential in Gollum. Gollum’s body structure allows him to jump, climb, crawl, and also swim. So he gets valuable information imperceptibly.

This brings us to the gameplay. It’s no secret that Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a game that mainly focuses on secrecy. Gollum himself is not a strong fighter. So you have to sneak behind the enemies unnoticed, lure them out by throwing stones, drown and go unnoticed, and maybe strangle some goblins.

Three chapters we could try we controls and camera seem a bit flimsy. Many times we couldn’t jump onto a ledge or couldn’t see on it because the camera wouldn’t let us turn around. Which is quite problematic for a game where jumping over ledges and looking around for all sorts of elements that will allow us to move forward is quite problematic.

And there were also problems with the graphics in the available beta version.. While the world is filled with color and looks very beautiful at its core, its more detailed rendering it looks like a game from the playstation 3 era. And we don’t even talk about what we are goofy at some point he lost consciousness. On the other hand, the cutscenes looked good and there is something on the audio side. We also saw the character in one of the films Gandalfand although he is not a dubber Ian McKellen – the actor who played him in the movie – his voice is perfect and almost identical.

As for the plot, the developers Daedalus they were pretty mysterious. All we know is that we will be following Gollum’s life from his imprisonment under the Dark Tower to his time with the elves in the Darkwood. In this story, Gollum is neither a villain nor a hero, but rather a tragic figure who is being pursued by everyone. Although his story is always tragic in itself.
