This looks a bit underwhelming, and I’m not even meaning the visual style they leaned towards. I just think the combat looks a bit flat and the adventuring about the caves that I’ve seen in other gameplay has seemed rather stiff and lifeless (for lack of a more apt descriptor because I haven’t played it)
Anyone else think this is missing some polish and spirit?

It's an attempt at a quick cash grab by some publisher, abusing the LOTR IP and it's current resurgence in popularity.

Epic store only is a dealbreaker, especially in the age of the Steam Deck

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much polish goes into it. A polished turd is still but a turd…

I’m having a ton of fun playing it with friends. One of the best games I’ve played this year. We had to drag ourselves off of it so we could go to sleep.

Yeah definitely didn’t do a good job of really making me wanna play it, though it does look significantly better then gollum did, but that’s not a very high bar to cross.

Yeah. That’s bad. Whose the developer?

Free range games. Looks like they’ve only done oddworld:soulstorm and a mobile game before that

Not the one you asked, but this looks like a low-quality mobile phone turd to me. It also looks too similar to the only game that could rival ET as the worst game in history… I personally wouldn’t bother given the Wheeble Wobble art style and seemingly built on Gollum.

Deep Rock Galactic: Fantasy Edition is looking pretty meh, tbh.

I can hear Gimli crying from here.

At the very least the trailer looks better than the gameplay they showed at Gamescom this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=270uflOMbMk
