Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
Here you can see The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™'s Steam rating and reviews between May 2023 and December 2023. Steam's rating is in a narrow range going from 36.2% (June 2023) to 38.5% (December 2023).
With 786 reviews Top 15%, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ could be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

Time Played
This chart displays the number of hours played in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time played is adequate, reaching 15 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 4.1 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 143 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
