$60-$70
Players who want to dive deeper into The Lord of the Rings: Gollum’s Vision of Middle-earth can get the digital-only Precious Edition on PS4, PS5, Xbox, for $70, and PC for $60. This version includes the base game. plus an “Art Expedition” app containing over 100 sketches and other behind-the-scenes details, a story compendium, and an official soundtrack featuring music from the game. There is also a Sindarin voiceover DLC expansion that adds elvish dialogue spoken in authentic Sindarin, one of the languages JRR Tolkien created for the series.
The action takes place during the story of The Fellowship of the Ring, although instead of following Frodo and his friends, we will be treated to a story told solely through the eyes of Gollum.
Since Gollum isn’t well-versed with a sword or bow, you’ll find yourself sneaking around in the shadows rather than jumping headlong into battle. The gangly creature excels at climbing into the nooks and crannies of each level, and you’ll need to be careful with each step if you don’t want to be noticed. There are also plenty of narrative sequences that can change the game based on your choice of dialogue. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum arrives on May 25, so we don’t have much longer to wait before we can try out the latest LOTR video game.
