Seems like a gold mine franchise when it comes to the gaming industry, yet i feel this IP never got the game it deserved. From all the LOTR games i think the only two that did any kind of justice to the franchise were :
- War in the North
- The Return of the King ( 2003 game )
A lot talk about Shadow of War and Shadow of Mordor. I played both, i really do not think it's the type of game the franchise should get. To me it felt like i was playing Assassins Creed with orcs.It just feels like the developers keep designing the wrong type of game when it comes to this franchise.
There was talk ages ago that a proper RPG was being developed and would be released under the name "The White Council" , sadly it got cancelled.
I think a lot of players would appreciate at LOTR game similar to Elder Scrolls or Witcher series. A huge open world game where you get to experience Middle Earth with your character and quest through great single player content.
