Gamers Roast and React to 'The Lord of the Rings: Gollum'

Well, that didn't take long.

Daedelic Entertainment, the developers behind The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, have issued an apology regarding the game's heavily roasted gameplay experience. After reading critics' reviews and the Twitter reactions, it's not terribly surprising. Gamers have been waiting since 2019 for the game, and the time doesn't seem to have added to its caliber. In fact, the Playstation 5 version is currently the worst-rated game of the year.

The apology is certainly a humble one, and comes with the promise of patches to make gameplay a little smoother and a lot more enjoyable. We''re just not sure that patches are enough to account for the bugs, or their own roastable error of referring to the game by the wrong title. While we may not be down to play any time soon, we're getting plenty of entertainment just soaking up the mix of scathing and funny reactions and memes. The people of the Internet work fast, and they're doing a brilliant job of taking a sloppy game and raking it over the coals. Here are some of the highlights we've seen over the past few days.
