I am really surprised how much press this game is creating. It’s a release from a smallish studio that afaik so far only produced point and click adventures. Why is everybody interested in this game? It might be bad and overpriced, but aren’t there a lot of expensive and terrible games released that nobody talks about?

This has to be the most depressing release I've seen in a long time. A game that no one asked for, received minimal support from the studio, released early and monetized to hell.

I’ve heard so many negative things that I’ve completely avoided it. It’s unfortunate, because I really wanted a good LOTR experience.
