The new Gollum game is out and I was looking forward to it. But reviews are as bad as they come.
Example review:

I was interested before release but the reviews are solidly in the toilet, like you say :toiletgrabber:
Wow, this thing is getting savaged.
It's not a good sign when the front page of the community hub on Steam is an apology from the developers.
And of course that loser developer has a license for a second Middle-Earth game...

Between this and Rings of Power, it seems like the Tolkien estate post-Christopher is just going guns-for-hire with the IP. :embarrassed:
Not sure if it is the cynic in me however I do not think this would have ended differently even with a more competent developer.
Gollum as a character study, yes very interesting.
Gollum as a stand alone game...haha NOPE.
Daedalic actually publishes some very good games; not sure if they've ever developed any tho.
