The best part was seeing how the basic achievements got more rare the more he played through it showing how almost nobody finished this shit.
And this is release week!!!! 💀😂 So it should be higher percentages due to less players.
I finished the game. But I do not recommend it. At least not until it will cost 2.99$
Most games are never finished
@Lewis Pooper That’s not true. People just tend to focus more on the negative than the positive.
@@digitalplayland It isn't even worth free
The game actually did a great job to make you feel as pitiful and miserable as Gollum
Ironic ain’t it
@@alexavier1696 I would say its kinda poetic imo.
@@douppi2877ironic poetry in this case, if you will.
that's the opposite of ironic since there's no reversal here

I work at a video game store and the more I heard about this game the more empathy i felt for the 4 people that preordered it at full price at our store
They deserved it. Never preorder
Can confirm. Preordered fallout 76. Thanks, Todd
@@johnme16IT JUST WORKS
I work at this Walmart like place and we have this ugly hideous game!
Someone with a functioning brain has bought this game!
(Whoever bought it I feel so sorry!)
@@philiproler5572 Only game I ever pre-ordered was Red Dead Redemption 2 since I played Red Dead 1 for hundreds of hours with friends as a kid and it was therefore such an integral part of my childhood. Luckily I don't even regret it because that game was great.
Wow they really went all out making the scene of you breaking the birds neck look and sound better then everything else in the game!
99% of the budget into the bird neck snap scene
Not so fast.
@@KevduitI'm not sure how this game isn't Game of the year. It should've been in the Goty list
The worst part about this game is that they found the one guy that can't do a gollum voice and decided he was the one.
Nope it's the fact it EVEN HAVE price tag
Wdym I love how they got Murdock Nickels from gorilaz to voice gollum 😂
I dunno if it's the worst part, but it sure adds to the pile...
It's like finding a guy who doesn't have a Borat or a Bane impression. Near impossible.
Are your expectations subverted yet?
if you listen really closely, between all of Gollum's screams of death, you can hear Kev's friends sigh in relief that this is single-player only.
they are lucky
Lol
@@Kevduit the Emotes say otherwise
It was likely PLANNED to have multiplayer but was scrapped during development for later DLC
@@AmaryInkawultI mean...with how jank it is...
There's one more terrible aspect to this game nobody talks about due to all other terrible things: it's premise doesn't make sense. I always thought Gollum is some tiny, funny little man dwelling in caves, eating raw fish and mumbling to himself, but no, apparently he's some orc murdering machine, epic assassin-level parkourer and political player of the Middle Earth. Makes sense
In the story he’s kinda there to show what the ring can do to people, and he does have a body count of at least one from what I remember. When Sméagol first got the ring he killed his brother. The writers of this gave just kinda gave up I think
That and he wasn’t really afraid to hop on a bitch and choke them, though it was less stealth and more anger.
@@moosenman This. There's a distinction that the developers and director of Gollum missed completely, and it's that Smeagol is a well-meaning, almost innocent Hobbit who has been tortured and broke down, essentially having his mind transformed into a prison by this all powerful artifact of a nearly forgotten age that belongs to the disembodied force of a dark lord who could easily shroud the entire world in malice and manifested hatred if the fellowship didn't continuously and miraculously luck out.
Gollum, however, is an extremely violent and volatile conniver who is both equally disturbing and unsettling to deal with~ be it face to face or through a TV screen. For all of the things that The Hobbit got wrong, it got the dread of knowing that Gollum knows you're trying to trick him right on the fucking money.
Hes none of what you stated. He lives in mountains so yeah, he should climb. He's used as cannon fodder to cover their tracks not a politician. You're exaggerating basic skills. Thats like saying a monkey is a parkour expert
@@moxiemaxie3543 monkeys can’t stealth kill
27:48 I can't stop holding in laughter at the mental image of this lady and her orc procession walking along this wooden walkway when Crazy Frog Gollum launches himself down from above, slips on dry wood and falls, screaming, into the lava pits below, as everyone just watches on with looks of "What just happened?" on their faces...
At this point, Tolkien is probably rolling so fast in his grave he's basically become a self-sustaining, infinite generator producing enough energy to single-handedly end any form of energy crisis and totally cancel the need for oil to power our technology.
Both JRR and Christopher
It is now 2053 and all is well. All of humanity's energy issues have been resolved and with them, the issues of pollution and global warming have been severely reduced and everyone can enjoy clean, plentiful energy. We call this time the Golden Renaissance and we have the video game "Gollum" to thank for this, as researchers have finally found the reason why the fountain of neverending energy took shape.
It has been 10 years now since the night sky of Oxford was pierced by a beam of pure white light emanating from what seemed to be the district of Cutteslowe. Panic quickly set in for the residents of the Empire since this was thought to be another strike from the Grand Canadian Royal army, as the Pan-Global Kerfuffle of 2030 was still ongoing at the time and the armies of the broken continent of Canada, formerly known as North America, were still launching operations to disrupt the forces of then newly resurrected third Empire of Albion.
It would be several hours, on the morning of November 13th, Charlesday (Friday in the old world calendar system) that it was found that the light was emanating from a small parcel in the Catholic section of Wolvercote Cemetery. It would be another week while containment and investigation took place to determine the origin point to be the plot of land dedicated to the burial place of one John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Edith Mary Tolkien.
What is now referred to as the Tolkien Spin Turbine phenomenon was found to be triggered several decades in the past but the effects could only be felt in 2043 on that scorching November night. Scientists found that the frequent abuse of the late Tolkien's works in pop culture were the starting point that triggered the physical revolution of Tolkien's remains which, in turn, would lead to the cultural and technological revolution we are living through today.
As more research is done on the matter, some point toward the Lord of the Rings made by Ralph Bakshi as being the original spark whereas others point toward Peter David and his Hobbit "trilogy" of movies when discussing when the rotational movements began. Whatever started the Tolkien Rotation and gave birth to the pillar of light that would emerge and, quite fittingly encircle the planet in a ring of light that could be harnessed by humanity, it is now beyond a shadow of a doubt that the movement reached irreversible charge levels with the release of the "Gollum" video game in 2023, once touted as a repulsive waste of money, time and a beloved IP, now revealed to be the quite literal savior of mankind.
As we move forward into the new decade with the "Planet Earth Spaceship" program powered by the Tolkien Turbine and construction on the pseudo Dyson sphere that has Earth at its center is reaching its halfway point, we give thanks to the creators of "Gollum" and the frankly courageous yet rather daft early adopters that actually played the game and allowed its existence to be more than just a theory, and instead made it a game theory. May Gollum be with you and bless you all.
@@vetreas366 This comment is better than the entire game
DO A BARREL ROLL

This game makes you really FEEL like a broken shell of your former self.
Rings of power: "I am the worst thing that ever happened to LotR"
Gollum: "Observe"

Oh yeah... The """"dark elf"""" 😂😂😂
😂
@@SuperVincent0000but they actually exist in canon lore? Not by whatever name Galadriel calls him, but the orcs canonically exist, in Tolkien’s writings, because Melkor/Morgoth tortured and twisted elves into dark creatures and then selectively bred them into what are now orcs
i feel like the hobbit is worse because it's a direct adaptaion. You can pretend they never made rings of power but the hobbit... people like that book u know?
"Gollum, Breeding halls, now!"
So nice that they managed to squeeze in a Gollum sex fanfic
Lmao
20:46
The devs were really ambitious and worked hard to make the worst game of 2023.
Worked hard?
Year is still young. Do remember we thought that about Forspoken and then came Redfall and now Gollum. I know 2023 won't disappoint and at least 2 more games will join the list.
Yatzhee will have such an easy year with his bottom 5 games of the year.
It sucks that Nacon did it because they're doing Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Seeing how bad this looks scares me a ton
@@bryanpineda2096 You have to work hard to make something this shit. You can't do this on accident, I just can't believe it any other way.
@@matosz23 we also have Starfield and S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
The fucking fact they made the "apology" with chat gpt is insane
When the game used the color blue at one point, I knew this game was a masterpiece. Using two colors in a game is something I thought I would never see.
If this is how the world looks through the eyes of Gollum I can see why his mind is so fucked up
*red.*
As a German, I feel a strong need to apologize to the world for Germany's actions (the developer of Gollum is a German game company) for the first time since World War II.
I love your culture and almost everything about your country, I currently study Deutsch and soon to work as a Deutsch teacher in schools
@@aeoncalcos7830 was für ne Kultur lmao
And some of their games are so good.... im so sad
Likewise. I promise we can also make good games 😭
WW2 was the last time Germany didn't need to apologize, actually.
At least it is immersive.
After finishing it, you'll know EXACTLY how Gollum felt, being tortured by the orcs....
thats the only decent part everything else is trash
I can say without a doubt that this is the most suspenseful action game every, with every jump, every swingy bar i held my breath and my heart skipped a beat. Because this game has actual real world consequences, unlike other games where all you lose is a couple seconds or minutes this game can fully block you from even completing it. Absolutely amazing work and i love the colour red, an easy 10/10 for Gollum 2023
The fact that the reward for beating the final chapter was only achieved by 0.75% of players tells you everything you need to know about the games quality players tells you everything you need to know
I paid Full Price for this and by god, i will squeeze every Cent out of this. Those 0,75% or something.
A larger percentage of people believe in Bigfoot…
@@ShinForgotPassxXx you paid full price for this shit?Holy shit,i feel bad for you

A true psychopath seeks out pain and dispair...and then forces them on others. Well done sir
Kevin's friends are probably very thankful the devs didn't implement co-op.
I like his videos even when the game is bad but this was a bridge to far for me. I had to tap out for the first time. Kevin did his best but not even he could make watching this game entertaining.
@@terry2295 when I first saw gameplay of this game I instantly thought about a comment like this and I’m so happy someone actually said it 😂
@@tellyg47 It would've made for a fun video though.
'smeagol does not know what to do' 'breeding' has to be the best and most terrifying line of this entire video
"They say textures are so pure there you can almost see them." That made me lol 😆
This would all be understandable if just a single dude, in his house, working on the weekends, drunk... made it. But a development team was put together, given computers, and told and paid to make it. How? Why?
A special level of talent. Emphasis on special. 😂
Because gamers refuse to congregate and class-action for false advertising.
Garten of Bird up feels better than this....
Deadlines.
"A single dude working the game on his weekends and also his first game" is enough justification to say "this is good"
Imagine being a teenager in high school, and your parents decided to get you one game as a gift for passing your classes. This is the game they get you. You can't afford anything else. You have a whole summer to enjoy this 70$ game.
Ufff that hurts
My parents NEVER would get me a game unless I specifically ask for one on a wish list as a present. Because of crap like this. They been burned by bad movies, so they know games can be the same way.
ahh that happened to me already. My godfather (i think thats the english term) bought me Transformers for PS3. i wasnt even a big transformers fan, nor was the game any good. But still, i appreciated his intentions though and was thankful.
Well time to start mowing lawns.
That's an 80's experience.
This looks like one of those one-man Unity horror games that Markiplier plays, except those are usually made by one person with no budget in the span of a few weeks and are kind of charming as a result
PS1 graphics, PS2 controls, PS5 price, Rings of Power writing.
My favorite part of the story was when Gollum said, "it's GoLlUm time" and he Gollumed himself into an invisible wall and Middle-Earth crashed.

I was kind of half expecting the fanbase to do a thing where they all kind of just pretend it's this utterly goaded game like with people continuing the joke that John Cena is invincible even though it's been like a decade.
RIP Keduit's sanity
Hold on? That memed to hell picture of Gollum looking like a wet, beaten dog was from an ACTUAL game?! If the developers actually thought any of this was a good idea, then l pity them.
I don’t
It looks like fking dream
I just remembered something.....
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom was 70 dollars. A game running at 30 fps on Nintendo Switch hardware with a file size of about 16 GB......and yet was able to achieve wonders beyond compare, having such freedom of choice in its game world, such flexibility in its custom vehicle system that it just downright terrifying, even letting you have an active party of about five AI partners without missing a beat. Truly a technical achievement n game design that will be talked about for decades to come.....
And then you got.........this game........this.....45 GB.........thing........meant to be played on PS5 and Series X/S hardware.......and it's just......this.......I have no words.....oh God and they want to inflict this horror on Switch owners! God no!
i love the moment when you finish "gollum" and become gollum, because you no longer have any living brain cells
Getting people to pay for emotes in a single player game is as shady as Callisto protocol making people pay for more death animations.
callisto protocol does WHAT
Wait... you serious? Callisto does that? 💀
There's a key difference there. I'm so bad at Callisto Protocol that I consistently die and get to see the animations. I'm so good at Gollum that I consistently die and get to see my home screen.
I have the feeling that game was finished for years and was just forgotten on a random computer and then they found it and thought „It will be fine“
it has the vibes of a game that kept changing genres like 10 times throughout development but they had to eventually release it
thats probably what happened with redfall and gollum
It has that 2008 Licensed Game smell to it.
@@xord6286 ;ike cyberpunk
Nah. It’s just a perfect shit storm of a small indie team that’s mostly just worked on low end indie point and click games, who had no clue how to make a game of this scale and just bafflingly threw themselves into the fire trying to create and publish a “AAA” game all by themselves. I don’t know how the hell they even got the license for this.
Kev slowly losing his mind and raging is by far the funniest i have ever gotten to enjoy. It is slow methodical and downright as we all do. Much love Kev
He is becoming gollum minute by minute the devs master plan is working perfect
"A masterwork of pain and suffering"
"Sauron has nothing on the creators of this game"
"It just works"

Now with dialogue!
I will debate it has graphics
@@DubberRucks Way too much money.

"Emotes...? In a single player game...?"
That really set the tone for the whole experience, huh.
at that moment I buckled up
14:38 this all reminds me of 90's games.
No instructions, sometimes jumps too far and sometimes not far enough.
this is like an ARG where the entire gaming community is trying to figure out the intended solutions to this game
because the game is so broken and terribly designed at the same time that its really hard to tell what is and isnt intended
It really sucks how cool the idea is that you have to convince one of two sides of yourself to make an immoral/moral choice, and it's completely squandered on this....
While you don't really fight yourself (sort of), Dark Earth from 1997 did something similar to this where the main character can switch from a light to a dark attitude and, in turn, have different conversations depending on which mode you picked.
Disco Elysium has similar mechanics but it's rare nonetheless
romance club biatch
@odilemwaro833 Yeah, not to mention that the game basically lets you pick neither option.
Fable III
The review on Steam that says "We threw ourselves into the fiery pits. Gollum is free!" always cracks me up. 🤣
Can't believe they got Gollum himself to code and develop this game
With this and Kaifs playthrough it's pretty safe to say that the bugs in each copy of Gollum are personalised.
This looks like something you'd play at the dentists office
I played better games. There was a AWSOME megaman arcade and Simpsons one too

@@creppersaurusrex2300 meh at least Dark Souls 2 is playable compared to this almagamation of terror. honestly why did this company make it and not like oh idk Monolith? Monolith already proved they can make great games based on the story and history of Middle Earth. just look at the glorious Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War games. Story was not very focused but everything else was freaking great anyways and Story was not their main focus on it ever anyways.
@@creppersaurusrex2300 there's a lot of things DS2 did to fix most problems in Souls, you just need to open your eyes
But in Dark Souls 2 it made sense
I saw the system requirements and was like "wow this must be the most realistic game to date with those numbers" and then I watched gameplay vids and was like "dude why does this look like goat simulator"
This should become a speed run game. It be so hilarious
This is the kind of game you'd get for your 12th birthday in 2007 and then become obsessed with even though you can never get past the starting area because its poor design makes it way too challenging for you. Your parents paid 30 bucks for it.

A game of our time

I loved the part where Gollum says "It's Gollumin' time" and then he died mid air
A game of a* time you mean?
Other than that, perfect review of a game.
It's a game, it has textures, code is there, bugs are too, voice actors voiced and Gollum does Gollum all over a game
This truly was our GOLLUM
There was a game I loved called "Styx: Shards of Darkness" that had similar dark, stealthy gameplay to Gollum. I was beyond excited when this was announced. The gameplay of Styx in the LOTR universe? I was *hyped* but...then I saw this monstrosity. Thank God we have the internet to see how games look before buying them or I would have made a huge mistake.
If someone ever asks you what you achieved in life tell them you finished this game. Theyll be impressed
You should play through the game a second time with the emotes. Really enhances the experience
I know right? Him default dancing while hiding from the elves really makes it better!
Never actually seen Kev literally angry in any of his plays and not just playful frustration. This game is truly the pit of despair.

🎵"I love it, I love it, I love a broken game,
70 dollars down the drain."🎶💃🕺
I can’t believe they made a game based off of anti-depressants, so cool
I mean this is a pretty good anti-depressant: ”could be worse, could be playing Gollum right now”.
This feels like the entire development team just embezzled the budget and told the intern to make the game
Coming back to this comment to say you were kind of right.
I'm glad you started off by sharing the fact *an emote pack* was what qualified as "DLC" according to the developers. That sets the expectations exactly where they need to be.
I'll give them credit for one thing: Usually when there's an interesting skeleton for a game but it's just released in a woefully unfinished state, there's a Christmas deadline to blame because they wanted to ship the game out so it'd be a Christmas present for instant sales. So at least they're innovating by releasing a woefully unfinished game OUT of Christmas season.
Also, when you said you'd only cried twice, was it from game frustration or retina poisoning?
........The answer is "yes", isn't it?
I refuse to believe that this game was made recently and wasn't just found on some forgotten hard drive from the early 2000s. Its the only way I can justify the graphics in my head.
Oh god that entire experience must have been agonizing.
I don't know what was worse; watching this atrocity get played, or knowing that he had to pay for the experience. 😂
I like the dynamic difficulty system where every time you die it flips a coin and corrupts all the scripting on tails
That was an amazing adventure, we all could feel and hear you losing your mind. In the chapter 10 you sounded like defeated crazy man. We appreciate your journey with Gollum, you proven it to be very immersive game, that will probably leave scars for years

Tbf this game is exactly what I was thinking withdrawing from magical hard drugs would be like. Nothing makes sense, everything looks wrong, and people hate you for (seemingly) no reason.
i honestly think the gollum model was made for a different lighting engine. it looks like if it was a truly dynamic lighting engine were lights and shadows was done dynamically it may look good, but instead the lighting engine is extremely static. the lighting engine looks like a (weaker) skyrim style lighting engine, and in skyrim shadows are backed into the models and textures so it doesn't look flat.
Kev's friends are grinning from ear to ear that this isn't a multiplayer game
There is combat in this game, it's fighting the controls. Charlie ran into a broken cutscene in his playthrough too.
50:17 in a hilarious turn of events I just got a DM on discord at the EXACT moment that the bird has hit his head. The timing was so perfect that I thought it's been edited in but turns out it wasn't
The most actually dramatic moment in the game is definitely the *spoiler*

kill bird moment. That actually was intense
honestly that felt like the only ray of hope in this game, like the dying cry of a single competent writer
Some quotes I found developers and a hype team article:
“As we reported in November 2020, Jonas Husges of Daedalic Entertainment told Official PlayStation Magazine that Gollum will make use of the next-gen PS5 tech. Gollum’s actions become more tangible and his physical struggle when he runs out of stamina translates directly to the way the game is played," said Husges. This points to The Lord of the Rings: Gollum using the PS5 DualSense's haptic feedback ability, which will likely apply more resistance to the triggers when Gollum is tired or otherwise strained.”
“In the same interview mentioned above, Husges praised the PS5's SSD component, and said it will help the Lord of the Rings: Gollum vastly decrease loading times and create a large explorable world. It also means Gollum's world will be incredibly well-lit.
"Clean, ray-traced shadows allow for maximum effect in player guidance in building stealth passages while dynamic and moving light sources bring in the extra challenge when Gollum is roaming through the darkness," said Daedalic art director Mathias Fischer. "All these things, of course, have the nice side-effect of making the game feel vast, and such free roaming environments we are creating look as spectacular as Middle-earth deserves."
But I digress.
😂 I'm shaken by their confidence in Gollum.
I am genuinely horrified with your end choice, I actually gasped lol. You already had the "all gollum choices" achievement, the poor bird could have at least lived lol

An hour long video and it really didn't come close to the pain that stream was. Watching chapter 4 over and over again, the puzzles, trying to kill the blind girl and her acting like it never happened for the rest of the game. It was wild
The fact that a game like this exists in the current year is astounding.

@@ReigoVassal I mean, yes, that is true. AAA games certainly have been slipping of late.

found it to be very immersive, when I stopped playing and requested the refund I felt like gollum when he gets the one ring from frodo
WE APPRECIATE YOUR SACRIFICE
1:49 There's emotes in single player games. I don't like playing with people so even in multiplayer games I rather play with bots, and emotes are still fun to use and look at it for YOURSELF lol
i think game companies should be able to be held legally accountable for charging $70 for a game that would still be bad if it was a ps1 game
Just...Don't buy it, lol.
@@exotixzamateurva8957 No no he’s right, a precedent must be set
Bad in general since its been a very common tread with greedy rats
@@exotixzamateurva8957 if renting or demos or trials were more common i'd agree with ya but game journalists have proven they arent worth anything when it comes to games since they are bought off since the gamespot kane and lynch debacle(dude got fired for being honest that the game is terrible since EA bought so much ad space on the website this happened yrs before gamergate was even a thing) so buying is literally the only way to know a game is well this terrible. also physical copies are becoming less common and alot of stores like ps store and gog dont do refunds even if ya only played for less than an hr like steam does. gog only let me refund one game after i gave evidence i could not phyiscal play it on my pc by sending them my pc specs and a video of me trying to run it and a list of all the things i tried to fix it and then it wasnt even an actual refund but store credit.
@@Kris-wo4pj ps store has added demos iirc
what's most baffling is how Mordor somehow looks cleaner than the Elve's home
Ive been sleeping to this video everyday for the past few days, Thank you
“We’re ready for next gen!” The red fall and gollum experience:
Even as a bargain bin find in 2009, this game would disappoint
I seriously didn't even realize this game was released recently when I first heard of it, because it looks like an early PS2 game at most.
I was like "why is everyone complaining about such an old game all of a sudden" then it hit me that it came out in 2023.
The mechanic of having to "convince" one side of Gollum's personality to go with the other was cool though. I'd love to see it on a better game.
Yea I think a gollum game could actually be a really interesting game but they executed it so poorly and didn't include any things that could actually make the gollum and smeagol fighting actually decent
Nah... Be honest thus game looks like ps3. But still bad
@SuperVincent0000 Uncharted came out in 2007, 16 years ago and it's still holding up better than this dumpster 🔥
When people say this game looks like a ps2 game, it makes me wonder if they've never seen an actual ps2 game in their life. Very likely, with all the zoomers around now.
@@PKFireFawx I'm a "zoomer" and I grew up with a ps2 lmfao. It's not some ancient boomer console that the young folks have never heard of. Most zoomers are adults by now, stop confusing us with gen alpha.
I actually thought PS3 at first, but then I remembered the Harvest Moon game my sister played on the PS2 and that game was far prettier than this one.
Heck, as the guy above you put it, Uncharted came out 16 years ago on the PS3 and looks better than this.
if we never moved to mostly digital games i feel like there would be another large hole in a desert filled with video games
“No no don’t run!”
Holds them like they’re about to throw him off the cliff
This game resembles the feeling you would have after being told to do the dishes
In salt water. With razor blades hidden in random plates and cups.
@@DubberRucks yeah the average dishwashing experience
@@DubberRucks Don't forget the portal to Hell bubbling up outta the drain.
This proves that you're a child. lmao.
Having to reach down into the disposal because you dropped a small object into it
