The Lord of the Rings: Gollum News
News The Worst Three Xbox Games Of 2023 Are On Sale For The Next Week
For the morbidly curious
Look, we know that bad games are bad games and you probably shouldn't buy them, but when something gets such negative reviews that it becomes noteworthy, it's impossible to not be at least a little curious about just how bad it is. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is one of those games (we talked about it last week), and...
News This Weekend Marks A Sad Anniversary For The Lord Of The Rings On Xbox
Did you end up buying this?
So here we were, just casually minding our own business on a Friday afternoon, and it was suddenly brought to our attention that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum launched on Xbox (and other platforms) exactly a year ago this Saturday. Forgive us for shuddering a little bit when we hear that name, but wow... what a shame...
News LOTR: Gollum Haunts Us Again Thanks To Elaborate Custom Xbox Series X
This thing is extremely rare!
It's no secret at this point that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum hardly set the world on fire last year, but the team did do its best to inject some life into a custom Xbox Series X console based on the title. Unveiled around the launch of the game as part of an online competition, this LOTR: Gollum console is pretty...
News Step Aside Gollum, We Have A New Contender For Worst Xbox Game Of 2023
"This game... I don't know what to say"
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will sadly always go down as a major flop, receiving terrible reviews back in May across all platforms, but it might actually be beaten to the "Worst Xbox Game of 2023" crown by one of today's new releases. Skull Island: Rise of Kong has officially made its debut, and the...
News The Lord Of The Rings Gollum Publisher Had Dev Apology Written By AI, Claims New Report
ChatGPT to the rescue
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum certainly drew headlines around launch back in May - not least because it was one of the worst-reviewed titles of the year and still is as we head into the business end of 2023. However, a new report sheds some light on the situation during development over at Daedalic Entertainment - including a...
News The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Developer Shuts Down Internal Development
Will focus exclusively on publishing
After the troubled launch of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum in May, it's been revealed Daedalic Entertainment is now shutting down its in-house development to focus on publishing.

News The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Drops To Absurdly Low Frame Rates On Xbox Series S
Other consoles aren't much better either
The time has arrived, folks. The tech heads over at Digital Foundry have gotten their hands on The Lord of the Rings: Gollum and we might as well get right to it; their analysis doesn't make for pretty viewing. Usually we like to wait for the DF word on these sorts of things, but Gollum hardly needed an...
News The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Makes UK Top 10 Despite Incredibly Rough Launch
Return of the sting
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is now out on store shelves - even if arguably it shouldn't be given the many issues reviewers have faced during their hands on time with the game. And, well, despite what we called some 'dreadful' early review scores, the game has charted here in the UK - at least in physical form. Last week's UK...
"Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment"
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has launched in a pretty rough state this week, and it's led to some scathing reviews of Daedalic's new LOTR adventure - including a 2/10 from our sister site Push Square. The good news is that the team has at least acknowledged the game's poor reception and...
News The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Is Getting Dreadful Reviews At Launch
We could be looking at one of the worst games of 2023
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is launching today on Xbox (and other platforms) after a number of delays, and we're starting to realise why this game has seemingly been in limbo for quite some time. Early reviews for this new LOTR title are starting to go live and, well... it's not looking good...
About The Game
Athletic and agile, sneaky and cunning. Driven by the desire to once again hold in his hands what he lost, Gollum is one of the most fascinating characters in the world of The Lord of the Rings™.
He has seen things that others can not imagine, he has survived things that others would not dare mention. Torn by his split personality, he can be vicious and villainous as Gollum, but social and cautious as Sméagol.
While being vital to the story by J.R.R. Tolkien, many parts of Gollum’s quest have not been told in detail yet. In The Lord of the Rings™: Gollum™ you get to experience this story. From his time as a slave below the Dark Tower to his stay with the Elves of Mirkwood.
Use stealth, agility and cunning to survive and overcome what lies ahead. Climb, leap and grapple your way past dangers or into advantageous spots.
While Gollum might not be a fighter, it is not unlike him to assassinate a careless enemy when the chance presents itself – or dispose of them in more creative and villainous ways.
The decisions you make and the way you play have a direct influence on Gollum’s personality: Always struggling between the two sides embodied by Gollum and Sméagol, it is up to you to decide whether the darker side of Gollum takes over or if there is a spark of reason left in what once was Sméagol. One mind, two egos - you decide!
