The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Is The Worst-Reviewed Game Of The Year So Far

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum reviews are appearing online, and they're not looking great. The game, which has gone through several delays, is currently sitting at a 43 for the PC version on Metacritic, and the PS5 version has fared even worse, sitting at 38.

The following five games are just barely above The Lord of the Rings: Gollum:

• Clive 'N' Wrench (Switch) - 50
• Crime Boss: Rockay City (PC) - 52
• The Last Worker (PC) - 53
• Redfall (PC) - 54
• Ravenbound (PC) - 54

GamesRadar writer Alex Avard stated over on Twitter 'Gollum is one of the worst games I've played in a while'. Meanwhile, over at Inverse, Joseph Yaden stated 'I wouldn't recommend playing The Lord of the Rings: Gollum if you get it for free, much less paying $50 for it.'

This is likely to be a massive blow to owner Embracer Group, who only yesterday reported that they'd lost a potential contract that would have provided the company with a boost of $2 billion dollars in a public earnings report.
