No Profile The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Review

Looks great, plays like garbage. There's almost nothing to craft. Combat is truly awful. Early game is just a running simulator due to the strangeness of the portal system. Even after the big update, the map is still almost unusable. Just so many game design decisions that leave me scratching my head wondering "what were you thinking?" What's with the purple stuff on the floor? Why does my armour break to 0% durability when an orc kicks me once? Why is my food glued to the table? Why do i need to carry coal so I can build wooden stairs? Why does fast traveling make me exhausted (this renders the whole notion of a nice big kitchen pointless)? The gameplay bears no reseblance to the marketing about "reclaiming moria".
