Is the Lord of the Rings Gollum Open World?
To answer the first question, is Lord Of The Rings: Gollum open world? Well, that really depends on your definition of an open world game. Although you won’t be able to explore the world like a traditional open world game, that doesn’t mean you won’t be given any freedom whatsoever.
The world you’ll be exploring in Lord Of The Rings: Gollum will be a mixture of both open world and linear environments. Although some stages will allow you to explore to an extent and look for alternate routes to reach your destination while overall being linear, others will allow you to explore more freely and will be open in all three dimensions.
To give an example to serve as comparison, think of Lord Of The Rings: Gollum similar to Final Fantasy 7 Remake which didn’t have a fully open world, but some chapters allowed the players some freedom.
Is Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Cross Play?
Now that we’ve answered the first question, on to the second most common question players ask regarding this game, which is whether or not it’ll be cross play. Well, the thing about this game is that it’s completely single player and does not have any online features whatsoever.
So forget about having cross play to play with your friends from other platforms, it doesn’t even have regular online play for you to play with friends from the same consoles. Of course, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as now the developers will be able to focus solely on the single player aspect of the game.
