The Lord of the Rings Return to Moria (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good:
Good survival mechanics
Plenty of crafting systems
Moria is an intriguing place
The Bad:
Limited connection to Lord of the Rings
No gameplay innovation
A few graphical glitches
Conclusion:
The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria tries to take a well-known license and connect it with the already classic ideas of the survival crafting genre. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t quite manage to deliver on either. There are some nice callbacks to the books and TV franchise but nothing to keep its fans engaged in the long term.
And gameplay is conservative and will only appeal to players who really like the loop of exploration, combat, resource gathering, and crafting. The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria should have pushed a few boundaries. Instead, it’s a game that has potential but will only be loved by a small slice of the public.
