    Pretty Harsh review. Got a few hours into it and the game is more around a 6 solo than just a 4. Sure there are some weird bugs they need to polish out, but considering it's a small studio they definitely didnt do bad with this game. Tons of Lotr-lore to find as well. For me the game ran really well, and because of the gameplayloop you keep playing. There are tons of resources to find, which makes the game a bit easy for survival fans. Its way better than Gollum, that's for sure.

    No way is this game a 4. It's a 6 to 6.5 at minimum. It's a B quality survival game. Combat isn't THAT much worse than Valheim's, and sure, building could be improved, but lore, progression, and exploration hold the game up well enough. With your scoring logic of "it does everything by the numbers at best", wouldn't every sports game, or Total War game variant with barely any changes or improvements over the years warrant a similarly drastic "bad" score as well, since a previous game "did it first"?
    As someone else in the comments mentioned, it's criminal that this game got the same score as Gollum. Were you expecting a game based on Moria to not be primarily tunnels and caves? lol

    The combat doesn't bother me. The game is actually pretty enjoyable...until the first or second night where a swarm of goblins attacks and all you have is an improvised axe. Like, give me some time to build and explore. Let me prepare. But no, we're immediately stalked and subsequently attacked as soon as the game starts.

    It seems like you have never played a sandbox game before, combat in these style of games have never been the best look at Conan Exiles, ARK, even newer Sandbox Survival games don't have amazing combat systems....
    The reason to get this game is simple, if you love Tolkien and Sandbox Survivals than get it. It won't be for everyone but those who can look past its few flaws will love it.

    A dwarven survival/open world game (with multiplayer) in Moria has massive potential, and this game should have explored those depths. Instead, it chose to just skim the surface, and has an astounding lack of vision or excellence. Why even bother? Hopefully at some point someone will do it justice, with true mining, decent character models, combat, exploration, etc.

    Another common IGN bad take. There was much more effort was put into this game than Gollum, which you also gave a 4. The lore, the songs, the crafting, and the locations are interesting and fun to experience. In no way this game is a 4. In my opinion the game is a 7, and if technical bugs are fixed it could be a 8.

How do you expect them to make meaningful games with that? Also, the Tolkien state doesn't protect Tolkien's legacy. It's just that they're only interested in the highest bidders.
