Gollum was a big misstep, agreed; playing from Gollum's perspective for a few levels within a game could be fun, but not for an entire game.

There's also a Return to Moria game coming out later this year that looks fairly promising: https://www.returntomoria.com/

Return to Moria does look interesting. I'll be watching to see how it shapes up.

Agree on stealthy Gollum gameplay possibly being interesting in another game. It just doesn't feel like a strong enough premise to shoulder an entire game. Let alone one with a $50 price tag.
