It made me intrigued in what happened to him during this time period. The story actually made me care about Gollum as a character. Tired, broken and dated is the only way to describe the lands of Mordor where The Lord of the Rings: Gollum takes place. Platforming sections are just broken, puzzle sections not registering being complete, and stealth that is of the style from when stealth games first appeared in 3D. Perhaps it is best to keep that door closed? It’s just unfinished, and what a disappointment it is. No, the problem is that the game isn’t ready to be released. It isn’t even lack of love for the character, Gollum. Gollum’s biggest issue isn’t the care for the world. Usually I love a good platform game or stealth game, but, when I have to actually quit and restart after an hour of trying to figure out the trigger point to continue the story? Yeah, the game starts to lose me. That is until I had progressed further and platforming became the main game type, mixed up with some stealth. Yep, the orcs catch old Sméagol and lock him up, and I couldn’t have been happier. Luckily, in Gollum, you spend many chapters in prison. Splinter Cell: Double Agent? Give me more time, governor! Riddick Escape from Butchers Bay was incredible and A Way Out, well… that game crashed for me and would never work so I can’t count it. This is not a bad thing for me, mostly as I love a good prison based game. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum takes place between the books The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, when Gollum spent time as a prisoner in Mordor. The corruption of his mind by the ring split his personality in two, creating the evil Gollum persona. A hobbit named Sméagol found the ring and devoted his life to keeping the precious to himself, even if that meant he had to kill fellow hobbits and others in the pursuit of sole ownership. The reason for this is the poisoning of his mind, something that has come about after coming into contact with The One Ring. So you may be wondering why Gollum isn’t quite as cheerful and content as the majority of his people.
