WTMG's Thomas Medina: "The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is the kind of game that doesn’t do anything well enough to satisfy any of its intended audiences. For survival fans nothing is done better than titles they’re already playing, and in fact does plenty worse. And for diehard Lord of the Rings fans, the strange lore deviations and limited vision of Khazad-Dum and the canonical events portrayed aren’t any more attractive. It may not be as bad a game as Gollum was, but in some ways that’s even worse. I at least walked away from that game acknowledging some highpoints and that it could have been something more. When it comes to this game, the only thing it left me pondering is if this is the sad future for the IP Embracer has planned for us. Thank Illuvatar for Lord of the Rings Online at least, always dependable. "
