If you haven't played this game, highly recommend it. Fun 80's sci-fi movie vibes... with dwarves. Always stuff to do but it's not overwhelming. Definitely benefits from playing with friends but it's fun solo too.

Fun game and it has a really cool soundtrack: https://open.spotify.com/album/5PRIjjUUjKFJyFQIMvlj85

Consider people shouting in voice chat a feature. This game is designed to fuck with you. I think one needs some level of masochism to enjoy it.

I only wish that capital letters counted. Hope the actual game has a mode for that.

A bunch of free content with a coupon in LoTRO. Very worth downloading the game and redeeming if you ever had an account or ever think you might even want to try the game.

I think it's still the best LoTR game out there. And it's free-to-play model doesn't even suck too badly. Old as hell of course, from the webpage to the game itself, it's like traveling back in time by 15 years.

Edit: Also if you had an account with chars ages ago, the server they were on may have been closed. But you should be able to transfer your toons from the Launcher with the Transfer button.

You're a scientist trying to document what happened in a very The Thing-esque setting. You have a limited amount of time to collect data and summon a rescue. When the night falls, there will be trouble, especially if you didn't manage to find equipment.

The interface is quite janky in the menu and the tutorial is almost useless but the game itself is very fun and scary. Don't cheat with out of game voice coms: the soundscape in the game is supposed to make communication hard and on the other hand, you often hear things before you see things. Also, your friends may turn on you...

If you plan to play with friends only, you need to toggle private lobby ON as it's public by default and it's leading to some frustration with people trying to join public lobbies and getting kicked because the host doesn't want randoms. On Reddit people are saying they've so far had mostly good experiences with joining publics though. The game is playable alone too but definitely best with friends.

It's still EA and it's by a small team but it works well and any glitches can be seen as features in most cases if you aren't some super serious power gamer (just learn to embrace the chaos). I really hope to see it ironed out and developed further.
