LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™

Image: Steam / Traveller's Tales

  • Adventure
  • Fantasy
  • Local co-op

The film trilogy in LEGO form, complete with its original voices: 18 levels of fighting, puzzles and bricks to smash, plus a Middle-earth you roam freely from the Shire to Mount Doom, hunting for mithril and more than 80 characters.

Why play it now

When you fancy playing on the sofa with someone: a second player can jump in at any time on another pad.

Who it's for

For Lord of the Rings fans and families: simple puzzles, and humour that softens the bleakest scenes.

When not to pick it

If you're after online play: there's none (only Remote Play), and the dynamic split-screen is disorienting.

  • Combat / action: 50 out of 100
