KamikazePotato 05/25/23 6:18:19 PM #15:	2/10 from GameSpot mmmm good stuff Before going any further, we need to address the elephant (or Mmakil, if you will) in the room: In the state it was in at time of review, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum was not ready to be played. In my roughly 11 hours of playtime on "Performance" mode on a PlayStation 5, the game crashed over 120 times (yes, I counted; masochist, remember?), averaging about one crash every five minutes. After my 20th-or-so crash, I got the dreaded "save data corrupted" message, only to realize I'd lost half a day's progress upon reloading. In multiple other instances, game-breaking bugs--such as a companion I was charged with protecting instantly dying over and over again for no discernible reason--forced me to restart entire levels, losing significant progress. Finally, during an especially tedious and time-consuming puzzle, the crashes became too frequent to possibly make it to the next checkpoint in time. Determined though I was to get through to the end and make these setbacks feel worthwhile, I threw in the towel at 40% completion, defeated. --- It's Reyn Time. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:973715779] in The Lord o...

Esuriat 05/26/23 1:55:07 AM #24:	Oh neat, I was just watching this game get streamed. The streamer will not be returning to it. Making fun of it and screwing around is entertaining for a short time. Intentionally dropping Gollum down pits is funny. But then it gets old and uninteresting and frustratingly filled with errors.
