The Lord of the Rings' Greatest RPG Idea Is Still Underused in Its Games

The Lord of the Rings has had many game adaptations over the years, and while they all take a different approach to the source material, there is a clear divide between the successful and unsuccessful ones. Games like Shadow of Mordor and The Return of the King are standouts, but ill-fated attempts like Gollum are notorious examples of the bad side ofLord of the Rings games. It's been an ongoing journey of hits and misses, and the tides are hopefully turning to bring a new Lord of the Rings game forth that falls in the "hits" camp.
