I’m glad that while everyone else is scrambling to finish their first Elden Ring play through, you Chad have the balls to be here considering playing a real fantasy game instead. The original Ring to rule them all.

God I love The Lord of the Rings. I remember when my grandpa had cancer and was going through chemo for it, we binged all of the LOTR movies together. Throughout playing this game I kept reminiscing about the times I spent with him, even the part where I kept getting my ass kicked by Shelob reminded me of my grandpa, as he suffered from arachnophobia and would always fast forward that part.

I’m glad to say his treatment was successful and I still have him by my side as happy, healthy and as much of a Tolkien fan as ever. God I love that old fart.

Later on in life I remember how I used to play this game when my best friend came to sleep over at my house. We had so much fun just playing it and trying to hurt each other with that ice sword. I loved it so much, it still holds a special place in my heart. Of course later on I learned he was also banging my sister behind my back during his long “bathroom breaks”, a betrayal very similar to that suffered by Frodo with Boromir. Keeping a fellowship is hard.

At its core, the Lego games were pretty much already a Gollum simulator since you pour over the map desperately searching for small golden things that disappear on you, so making this game was really the natural conclusion of that game design.

I absolutely just love this game. And nothing beats goofy little Lego Elrond dramatically shouting “ISILDUR!!” with actual film audio. It gets me every time. A masterpiece.

It began with the forging of the Great LEGO® games. two were given to Batman, darkest, genre pushing and most polished of all games. Three were give to the adventurers, great Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean. And four, four games were gifted to the fans of Star Wars, who above all else desire studs. For within these games was bound the strength and the will to collect every single mini-kit, characters, studs, bonus levels and unlockables. But they were all of them deceived, for another game was made. Deep in the offices of TT Games, in the long hours of the night, TT Games forged a master game, and into this game they poured there cunning, there devotion and there will to create the one LEGO® game to rule them all "LEGO® Lord of the Rings."

Should get remastered. Give it and the Hobbit game the same love as the star wars games got. Please
