Redfall is a meh-to-okayish game could probably be polished into a 7/10. This just looked awful every time. 7th gen graphics, ridiculous DLC, boring gameplay.
With a well crafted story, Gollum/Smeagol could have made a great game. Certainly not something I'd ever expect or ask for but I think he is one of the best characters in Middle Earth which is probably large in part to just how amazing Andy Serkis was in bringing him to life.
@savedsynner I only played one of them but it was one of my most dissapointing games in history. The appeal of Lord of the Rings is story telling which the game severly lacked. I'd rather get a story based game than just another generic action game. Not to say Gollum hit that spot but I will just have to see.
@Sonic1881, Redfall was pretty bad, but somehow this game actually looks worse, I don't even know why this game exists when it looks like it was lacking direction to begin with.
That sucks, was hoping they would pull off a nice surprise as its always nice when developers try something new, but this always looked mediocre at best.
I said from the beginning that this game looked like shit. No one asked for this. I can't believe some people actually got hyped for this. What a wasted opportunity. Instead of crafting a game around someone like Aragorn or a younger Gandalf they gave us the worst character they could have.
I mean I said the exact same words when the first gameplay ever got revealed. Like, literally the same words. Nothing about this looked good and concept was even worse.
Yeah from the minute I heard about this, my first thought was "why would I want to play as Gollum....what can he do?". Maybe if it was more heavy story based game where gameplay wasn't as important.
Tbh I watched a youtuber play the game live and have to admit there was not one single game crash in there entire play through or corrupt save file yet the reviewer mentions 120 crashes in total averaging a crash every 5 minutes ? I enjoyed watching someone play the game tbh, and yes some dated gfx etc but it was certainly not a 2/10 game. I think the games gonna get shit on for the sake of being the nxt shit on game tbh. Basically what I'm trying to say is don't trust this 2/10 score as what I watched was a solid 6 or 7/10
Well now looks like Phil Spencer can rest easy, knowing that Redfall is not the worse rated game of 2023. Gollum is now that game. Can't wait for Angry Joe to callout this BS in his review!
Holy wow...!

Looks like this precious has already been cast into Mount Doom before the story even began
Much like Isildur with the one ring, this game too should have been cast into the fire.
did anybody really asked for this?
