The Lord of the Rings Gollum focuses on telling the untold parts of Gollum’s story so far from his time as a slave below the Dark Tower to his stay with the Elves of Mirkwood. You will use a variety of influential powers on characters to gain favour with them as you play through the game, crafting villainous plots or trying to convince them to be allies.

The Lord of the Rings Gollum gameplay

As mentioned, The Lord of the Rings Gollum will take you across many different aspects of Gollum’s story as you use stealth and agility to survive and make allies, rather than combat. However, there are still ways to dispose of enemies and get around them as you are exploring the game’s levels.

Throughout the game, you will also make a number of decisions that affect Gollum’s personality as he struggles between the two sides of Gollum and Sméagol.
