Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of The Rings™ Game

Love the game!

If you are into cosy games this is it! It is relaxing, you wonder around, complete simple quests, gather veggies, cook, fish and build relationships with neighbours. I personally love the graphics, everything looks beautiful. So far every time i thought "I am getting a little bored" something changed, like winter came with new ingredients and snow or a new extra challenge like with club missions. So my interest was revived again and again. You get to really discover some things in the game they dont always spell it all out for you, which was extra fun! I hope it continues this way :) So many cosy games are short, I have been enjoying this one for the past 2 weeks, 17 hours in and far from the end.

You can live your best Hobbit life.

While I recommend this game, I feel it is lacking in a lot of areas. I wish there was more interaction with the random NPCs, not just the quest based ones. I enjoy being able to enter quest NPCs homes but obviously this is a huge ask. Fishing, farming, cooking, foraging are very fun parts of the game and I enjoy that A LOT. I do wish we could interact with the chickens on the farm more than just chasing them around. Reaching 100% of the epilogue feels almost impossible and like you are constantly doing grunt work for very little reward. I love the friendship dynamics of the game and find myself loving more characters than others. Decorating the hobbit hole is easily my favorite past time although I wish there were a catalogue of decor and furniture you can buy, maybe after the 100% of the final chapter of the game. Even after "finishing" the game, I can see myself returning to it again and replaying. I almost always play my farm sim games blindly, going thru the seasons with no help, and this game is very fun when you play it that way. Overall, I'd rate it an 8/10. There is a so much potential for future updates and in its current state I have been more than satisfied. Very casual, chill, and completely stress-free.

It's cute. It reminds me of lord of the rings online when I played a hobbit character and I had my own hobbit hole home to decorate. But this time instead of just decorating I get to cook, gather, and farm. The only pressure to get anything done is the day/night cycle which is not too punishing. Like I hated the pressure of the day/night cycle in Stardew Valley. Is it a difficult game--heck no. Cozy? Yes.

This game is fun and very cute. Two additions I would make is Voice acting the dialog and allow the player to pet animals
