LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™

I'm NOT 100%ing this game. I would rather shoot myself, in minecraft. Let me just say, this is legitimately one of the buggiest games, I have played, in the last half decade maybe more. Like holy hell, it is miserable. As a kid when I played this many times, I remember having so much fun. But I play it now, and even aside from the bugs, it's probably one of the worst Lego Games. Some missions are too long or tedious, some cut out way too many lines of dialogue so the context is just- weird? I just unfortunately have not had a great experience revisiting it. It's also basically unplayable half the time. Moving on platforms (not just the infamous Mordor one, but included) is so bad. The UI sometimes just refuses to work, some important things like showing weather effects in missions don't appear properly. Some animations don't work, some get stuck. I got softlocked on Cirith Ungol 3 times and had to restart the mission (and game). Don't even get me started on the Dead Marsh mission, that is one of the worst missions in any Lego game, ever. Gollum is screaming at you every half second, the water "pathways" are bugged and kill you anyways, the fire is so annoying and drawn out. To add onto this, the ghost studs, that LEAD you to your mission or item on the map? Yeah sometimes it just doesn't work, and by sometimes I mean like 75% of the time. Sometimes it will reset and go somewhere random, sometimes it will just not go anywhere, or flat out lie. How is this game so bugged? It's even worse than Cyberpunk at this point. Toward the half-way point of the game, the missions just start feeling... not fun and that's unfortunate cause they have such good reference. But even before I started doing free-play I was just, dreading the possibility of 100%ing this game. I'm still conflicted on if I want to. It's not a bad game, it's fun. But it's a bad Lego Game.
