Lord of the Rings: Gollum launches this week, and the PCG review will be up later today. Plenty of other outlets have already published theirs, however, and wow: This game is taking an utter, utter beating. Gollum’s PC version currently stands at 43% on Metacritic, while the PlayStation version’s on an even-more abysmal 37%. The Guardian’s Nick Reuben goes straight in with both feet, awarding the game one star (out of five) and leading with the strapline: “boil it, mash it, stick it in the bin”.

PCG sister site GamesRadar+ was equally disappointed, awarding it two out of five stars and saying “the overwhelming result of all of these compromises is a muddy, miserly vision of Middle-Earth, and one which never truly connects as a compelling fantasy playspace”. Gamespot gives it a two out of 10, noting simply “we don’t wants it, we don’t needs it”. Pushsquare is another two out of 10, calling it “a broken mess of a game”.
