As the title suggests, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum follows the story of Gollum himself. It is one of the most known characters from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, but he was never really explored in any media. This game aims to change it and tell the story of Gollum in a fun and entertaining way. As the sneaky and morally dubious titular character, you will be leaping, jumping and exploring and silently killing enemies. Or not. It's your choice, really. One that will impact the main character.
Story
The character of Gollum is known just as well as The Lord of the Rings itself but as a character, he was never really in the spotlight. The authors of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum felt like his story is worth adapting into a video game. Now you can experience his story, from his time as a slave under the Dark Tower to his stay with the Elves of Mirkwood and interrogation by Gandalf. It's a story-rich experience, and the authors use all the information from the books to send Gollum on his own adventures. It's a wonderful opportunity to visit Middle Earth once again and see it from a new perspective.
Gameplay
The LOTR Gollum game is a fantasy action-adventure game with stealth elements. Gollum is a nimble and agile creature despite his frail and fragile appearance. This allows him to get into places that are inaccessible to others. In the game, you will use that advantage to avoid all sorts of dangers that await you.
And while you will not face enemies head-on, Gollum does not shy from using violence and killing his foes from the shadows. But on the other hand, Smeagol has a conscience and doesn't like that. Here shines one of his most fascinating and tragic aspects: his split personality. Gollum is vicious and envious, while Smeagol retains what little reason he has left. The game offers you many choices that will impact the torn main character.
