Whew, okay, let’s dive into this wild ride. So, I was scrolling through the PS Store sales, you know, as you do when procrastinating on removing that pile of laundry. Anyway—or wait, nope, let’s start with this—there’s this mad 80% discount on a game that’s… well, let’s just say it didn’t exactly win many beauty pageants.
### The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Needs No Introduction (But Here’s One Anyway)
Right, get this, “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum” was slashed to five bucks and some change, down from almost 30. You know the price we pay for coffee these days? It’s less than two lattes, for goodness sake. But hey, if you’re itching to see what all the hullabaloo is about on your PS4 or PS5, jump on it before the clock strikes 2:59 a.m. ET on May 22. Cool fact? Meh, might not be that cool.
Picture this: you are Gollum, scrambling around Middle-earth, his raspy voice echoing in your head—how weird is that, right? “Precious” is up for grabs and all, in this… well, they call it an epic interactive experience. Epic might be a strong word here. But hey, why split hairs? “How far will he go?” Now, there’s an existential puzzle for a dreary Wednesday.
And oh! If you’re really feeling adventurous, or just enjoy living on the edge of buyer’s remorse, snag the “Precious Edition” for a couple more bucks. Lore, Sindarin chit-chat, and some artsy stuff included—kind of like ordering extra toppings on your burger. Do you actually need them? Probably not.
But, speaking of, this game. Yeah, didn’t exactly get a gold star. Scored a whopping 33 on Metacritic. Ouch, that’s a whole saga worth of reviews boiled down to a “meh.” Some things just don’t age well, huh? Just look at Daedelic Entertainment, they kinda tossed the ring… I mean the next game and have hung up their developing boots. Bit of a dramatic end, if you ask me.
So, should you go grab this deal or not? I mean, your call. Who am I, the game police? Maybe just hop back to your cozy corner and think it over with a nice, overpriced caramel macchiato.
Alright—uh, no, wait—any more deals? Who knows, scroll down on the PS Store page for the might-be-gold or definitely-not-gold treasures. Happy hunting!
