The Lord of the Rings: Gollum runs terribly, and at no point did we ever consider turning on ray tracing, even on an RTX 3080. There is also no way to limit the frame rate to a fixed number, which means that players will have to deal with the game erratically leaping from 40 fps to 60 fps, to even 120 fps at times, and just generally making leaps in frame rate about as jarring as the same leaps Gollum makes for the bulk of this game. This is an Unreal Engine game launching on PC in 2023, which means it's filled with stuttering, drastic frame rate changes, and a bare-bones graphical settings menu that is both vague and confusing. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Second, Gandalf’s character model looks great, and his voice actor captures Sir Ian McKellen's essence almost perfectly.

This game isn't so much a case of "who asked for this," because a Styx-style Gollum game does sound good on paper. At all times, Gollum feels like a game that is held together by duct tape and kicked out the door in a hurry when it really should have been left at the concept stage. It is uninspired, buggy, repetitive, frustrating, and, worst of all, boring.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a baffling experience. Unfortunately, Gollum is one of the worst games that this franchise has seen so far. Tolkien’s works comes around, so when Daedalic announced a stealth spin on the Lord of the Rings universe after primarily making point-and-click adventure games for almost two decades, some questions were raised about how this was all going to turn out. It’s not every day that a video game adaption of J.R.R. In 2019 Daedalic Entertainment and Nacon announced The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, a stealth platformer set in The Lord of the Rings universe where players take control of the series' most tragic character, Gollum.
