The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, the only survival crafting game set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth™, the iconic fantasy world created by J.R.R. To...
Not the one you asked, but this looks like a low-quality mobile phone turd to me. It also looks too similar to the only game that could rival ET as the worst game in history… I personally wouldn’t bother given the Wheeble Wobble art style and being seemingly built on Gollum.
Deep Rock Galactic: Fantasy Edition is looking pretty meh, tbh.
It’s a shame because if you describe it to me on paper, the concept of a co-op game where a group of dwarves build/rebuild Moria or at least a tiny portion of it sounds interesting. But among other things it’d need an art style. I mean it also needs a good one that is evocative of the world Tolkien created, but hey, first of all it needs an art style.
This looks a bit underwhelming, and I’m not even meaning the visual style they leaned towards. I just think the combat looks a bit flat and the adventuring about the caves that I’ve seen in other gameplay has seemed rather stiff and lifeless (for lack of a more apt descriptor because I haven’t played it)
Anyone else think this is missing some polish and spirit?
I’m having a ton of fun playing it with friends. One of the best games I’ve played this year. We had to drag ourselves off of it so we could go to sleep.
Yeah definitely didn’t do a good job of really making me wanna play it, though it does look significantly better then gollum did, but that’s not a very high bar to cross.
It’s an attempt at a quick cash grab by some publisher, abusing the LOTR IP and it’s current resurgence in popularity. Epic Games only too. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear later down the line how the devs have been on crunch to get a game out in a ridiculously short amount of time.
You can play both Epic and GOG games on the Steam Deck, and you can do it with or without the Epic and GOG launchers. Your choice. I did so today, in fact.
The Steam Deck runs Linux. That means anything that runs on Linux, and most things that run on Windows or Android can be run. Including Windows-only software.
Idk why people act in this day and age like the Steam Deck is some crippled device. Unless your desktop runs Linux, your Steam Deck can run more things than it can.

Please don’t misunderstand their criticism. It’s not criticism of the Steam Deck, but of Epic as a company. Epic’s store is the crippled thing, not the Steam Deck.
Yeah, we can work around it, as customers. We should not have to.

What is with these rushed lotr games no one asked for and wasn’t advertised
Yeah. That’s bad. Whose the developer?
Free range games. Looks like they’ve only done oddworld:soulstorm and a mobile game before that

At the very least the trailer looks better than the gameplay they showed at Gamescom this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=270uflOMbMk
Big oof, that looks terrible
I can hear Gimli crying from here.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much polish goes into it. A polished turd is still but a turd…

Epic store only is a dealbreaker, especially in the age of the Steam Deck
Is it possible to play EGS games on steam deck?
Yes, but not as seamless. You basically add the epic store as a ‘game’
Not at all, you can use Heroic launcher to add games individually
It is. And you can choose if you want to use the Epic launcher or not as well.
You can play both Epic and GOG games on the Steam Deck, and you can do it with or without the Epic and GOG launchers. Your choice. I did so today, in fact.
