The developers of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum have issued an apology for the game’s “underwhelming experience.” The game, which was released on May 25, has been met with widespread criticism for its unrefined graphics, performance issues, and lackluster gameplay.
In a statement posted to Twitter, Daedalic Entertainment said that it “acknowledges and deeply regrets that the game did not meet the expectations we set for ourselves or for our dedicated community.” The studio said that it is “genuinely values your feedback” and that it is “working diligently to address the bugs and technical issues many of you experienced.”
Daedalic Entertainment also said that it is “committed to improving the game” and that it will “continue to work hard to make sure that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the experience you deserve.”
The apology comes after the game was met with a wave of negative reviews. On Metacritic, the game has a user score of 3.5 out of 10, based on over 1,000 reviews. Several major gaming publications, including IGN, GameSpot, and PC Gamer have also criticized the game.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a stealth action-adventure game that tells the story of Gollum’s journey between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The game was developed by Daedalic Entertainment and published by Nacon.
Despite the negative reviews, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been a commercial success. The game has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
It remains to be seen whether Daedalic Entertainment will be able to turn things around for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. However, the studio’s apology is a positive sign that it is committed to improving the game.
