The Lord of the Rings: War in the North™ - Legacy Edition

Played this game for the first time when it released half of my life time ago. I still have my physical copy for PC so seeing this drop randomly on Steam was very exciting. It's a nice edition to tLotRs games that are out there and a fun time with friends. I like the idea of other "fellowships" warding off evil as the main fellowship is on their mission. My memory might be tricking me but it didn't feel too different from the original still I had fun.

nostalgie pur, endlich wird einer der alten herr der ringe spiele plattform-weit veröffentlicht. fehlt nur noch die schlacht um mittelerde reihe, hihi ♥

Я 48-річний батько, який виховує сина сам. Мій син зараз навчається в університеті, і ми з ним майже не спілкувалися останні роки. Якось, пізно ввечері, після важкого робочого дня, я зайшов до його кімнати і побачив, як він грає у цю гру. Я обережно запитав: "Синку, а що це за гра?", і він розповів мені про неї. Я вирішив купити її собі, щоб спробувати. Тепер ми щовечора граємо разом. Ця гра буквально зробила нас найкращими друзями. Дякую розробникам за це!

I like both the original game and this Legacy Edition because I am a sucker for Lord of the Rings (LotR) games. However, I do not recommend this game for the following reasons: 1. It is not a remaster or a remake. What the developer actually delivered is just a patch or a minor quality-of-life (QoL) update. This is not an expansion or a DLC because nothing changes in the story—there are no new quests and no new gear. Absolutely nothing was added aside from some basic QoL tweaks, the biggest of which is the ability to hot-swap your character in solo play. Despite this, they are charging full price. The developer essentially copied and pasted the game to resell it for more profit. For players who bought and played the original, this is straight-up criminal. 2. There is no inventory sort button. The inventory is an absolute mess. The only way to sort your items is by dropping them on the ground and picking them up again in the desired order. For a game released in 2026, this oversight is unforgivable. 3. The bugs remain unfixed. Bugs that existed in the original version are still here, and the developers even managed to add a few new ones. 4. Clunky movement and combat. Character movement and combat feel terrible. A lot of the time, my attacks hit thin air—attacks that absolutely should have connected under normal circumstances. Meanwhile, enemy attacks still hit me just fine. 5. Multiplayer is worse than the original. In the original version, you could control the character you built and geared up in your own world when joining other players. In this Legacy Edition, you can only control the host player's other characters. In other words, whatever achievements, gear, or items you find while joining another player's session will not transfer to your own game. It is a complete waste of time. With all that said, I paid for this stupid game and I am still playing it. I feel mad and frustrated, but I like it at the same time because, as I said, I am a sucker for LotR games. TL;DR: Do not waste your time and money on this game. Go play Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War instead. Those two are amazing games, and you can get them both at a way cheaper price on sale.
