Though, Gollum can strangle an orc lacking armor to death in some circumstances if you can get the drop on him. Instead, the gameplay loop is based on platforming through linear story paths and engaging in stealth when the moment calls for it.
Direct combat in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is out of the question. But anybody who knows anything about the character knows he’s also not to be underestimated.
But Gollum isn’t at all the combative type. Talion and Celebrimbor’s adventure in Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War is one such example. Most games based on The Lord of the Rings saga position players in combat-enabled roles considering the bulk of the conflict involves fighting Orcs and the dark forces of Sauron. It’s fairly average gameplay that doesn’t do much to innovate with the genre basics." "While I may not have any gripes about the platforming as presented in Gollum, there isn’t anything to write home about either. Despite the storytelling potential for a tortured and complex character like Gollum, just how effective and engaging is he as a video game protagonist? It’s the beating heart of Sméagol (Gollum’s former alias prior to being twisted by the ring’s power) that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum attempts to uncover. While Gollum stalked Frodo from the shadows in hopes of claiming “the precious” for himself, there was always a victim of Sauron’s buried beneath the conspiring goblin-esque visage. Now, an unlikely and somewhat sympathetic character within that world is at the heart of Daedalic Entertainment’s latest offering. The story of Frodo’s journey to destroy the ring of power is only impactful because of the entire setting. Middle-Earth is populated with mythical creatures both large and small as well as innocent and ravenous. However, the franchise famously built something larger than Frodo, Gandalf, or even the one ring to rule them all. The Lord of the Rings’ story is imaginative, riveting, and heart-rending all at once.
