The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is finally out, but there’s no good news for Lord of the Rings fans. What happens is that the critics destroyed the Daedalic Entertainment game, considering that it fails in almost all its sections.
Because of this, the title debuted with very poor ratings on sites like Metacritic and OpenCritic. The title did so badly that it already ousted Redfall, another of the great disappointments of the year. So The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is now the worst release so far in 2023.

Criticism kills off The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
As of this writing, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum scores an average score of just 38 on Metacritic for its PlayStation 5 version. Its highest score is 70, and it even scores reviews with ratings of 20.
On the other hand, its PC version has an average of 43, with maximum ratings of 65 and minimum ratings of 20. In OpenCritic the situation is not very different, since the game averages a 42 average rating from critics.
As of this writing, players have yet to provide feedback on Metacritic or on platforms like Steam. However, the results are expected to be very similar. With this, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum rests Redfall and becomes the worst premiere so far this year.
The game initially drew attention for its Gollum-focused proposal. However, the enthusiasm of many players was gradually dampened by the game’s trailers and dubious decisions by its developers.
