Honestly the developers were not skilled for this knowing their past pedigree. They should have ramped up with something a little more small scale before this. At the end of the day they have to bring home a paycheck to feed themselves and their family and hope they find a new job as swift as possible.
I think they had mostly worked on point-and-click games before Gollum. Clearly they weren’t ready to scale up to a project as large as a LoTR title. Sad to see though nevertheless.
What I find rather funny is that LOTR is a setting that would be pretty perfect for a traditional PnC adventure game. They could have played to their strengths and possibly made a better game, even with their odd choice of protagonist.
I don’t understand this argument. I can think of a dozen ways of making an interesting Gollum game. It’s a fascinating and daresay iconic character. I was a little bit hyped for the game actually, too bad it’s… Well, this.
Ooof… sad for all those devs, but wow was that game was a mistake from the start

Just the idea/concept felt off… someone should have asked why we need a whole game about a side-character that no one asked for
