There is some story and additional lore provided in Gollum, though the importance of some of it may fly over your head unless you’re an ardent fan of all of Tolkien’s works.
There’s little reason to explore the landscape outside of the waypoint indicator that hurries you along to your next task, though there are collectibles that don’t seem to do anything, like nails and a spoon, that you can find throughout the world. You mostly play a variety of mediocre and very easy to exploit minigames, solve some simple puzzles, get key items, and then move on. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum begins with Gollum chasing a bird, then a beetle, arguing with himself, and then getting caught and sent into slavery no matter which choice you made. It’s an action-adventure title where you run, jump, and even wall run your way to perform mundane minigames, sometimes fun puzzles, and collect items as you go through areas like Barad-dur and Mirkwood. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is set in the incredibly established world of Middle-earth and follows the ring-tempted Gollum during his enslavement in Mordor as he tries to avoid Sauron’s minions and find his way to Bilbo Baggins to retrieve his birthday present, the One Ring. Initially revealed in 2019 with a 2021 release date, it finally released in May of 2023 after a troubled development cycle, which may be due to the game being a big departure from the point and click adventure titles Daedalic Entertainment is known for creating (also, Covid happened).
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an interesting game.
