Zero reason for this game to exists. Like are we supposed to just sit in a cave for the 2nd act of the game as we go from Sméagol to Gollum. Lol.

There's Aragon, Legolas and even Ginmly but they went with Gollum as a main character. Thanks but no thanks

I don't understand how this is gonna work….. Like… What is Gollum's goal in this game? The one ring? He won't see it again until the second book…. I have no idea what the plot looks like
