As they say, there is always “a tear for a rip”, which comes to mean that no matter how much there is something that we do not like and even seems bad, atrocious, unplayable and without any interest, there’s a gamer out there lost who will like it. And that has happened with The Lords of the Ring Gollumthat not everything is bad news around its reception by the press and users.
And it is that since it was put on sale on May 25, youI have Lords of the Rings Gollum has been mercilessly beaten by practically all the estates that are part of this video game industry: the specialized media have endorsed each bloodier analysis and the public itself, in its evaluations on pages where it can leave its opinion, has done three quarters of the same .
Gollum’s Gallic Village
However, as in the Asterix & Obelix comics, there is a Gallic village to the north with an irreducible group of gamers who refuse to follow those directions of the majority and have decided that the game based on the character of The Lord of the rings it deserves a chance, and that is why they have gone to buy it with more enthusiasm than in other latitudes where the Romans rule and which, it seems, they didn’t smell the toast until it was too late.
Indeed, it has been in Switzerland, a neutral country by nature, where The Lords of the Ring Gollum has managed to appear in the top of the best-selling games of the 21st week of the year, that is, the week of its launch and which includes the entire weekend until Monday, May 28. Something that looks like it won’t happen again, since there have been many players who have seen how bad it is and have preferred to save their purchase.
Now, do you know how that top 10 of the best-selling titles in Switzerland that week is? Behold:
- The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- FIFA 23
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Farm Simulator 23
- The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
- The Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild
- Nintendo Switch Sports
- Minecraft
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
The worst game of the year?
It is evident that The Lords of the Ring Gollum has become the doll of the pimpampum and that it has not met the expectations that we all had placed in it, but we must advance that it was not a matter of waiting long given the gameplays prior to launch and the trouble with the delays and changes in release dates that it has suffered within its calendar in the final stretch of its development.
In any case, the most interesting The Lords of the Rings Gollum is yet to come, specificallythe history of its development and why certain creative decisions were made and that its developers will have to tell us as they leave the studio and dare to explain what happened. Both in the obvious downgrade graphics that suffered in its last stages of programming as in the ambition of objectives and game functions that had to be cut until it was left as it arrived in stores. A pity, because it looked very, very good.
