Vernichtende Rezensionen: Herr der Ringe: Gollum ist das schlechteste Spiel des Jahres

Gollum benötigt unfassbar viel Leistung, sieht dabei nicht einmal gut aus und macht ohnehin keinen Spaß. Ein Ersteindruck.

Kein Schatz: Herr der Ringe-Spiel "Gollum" erhält vernichtende Kritik

Der Herr der Ringe steht für epische Schlachten, sowohl im Kino als auch auf PC und Spielekonsolen. Für das neueste Action-Adventure "Gollum" von Deadalic hagelt es jetzt allerdings massive Kritik: "Eines der schlechtesten Spiele des Jahres" lassen die ersten Reviews verlauten.

Honestly, game looks so terrible I might actually end up playing it – just for the laugh. Definitely not at 50 bucks, though! 😂
