It's tempting, especially after so many, but it's a series that's long been more comfortable changing the wallpaper than rebuilding the entire house, and that's not likely to change any time soon. Each license does at least bring a distinct flavour to the experience, if not the action, and Lego The Hobbit - ignoring its inevitable similarities to Lego The Lord of the Rings - is no different. It's a game content to coast on what works and what everyone expects, and if you expect to enjoy it, the chances are good that you will. It is, however, a real pity that the accounting Nazgul couldn't have held their dark horses for a few more months to allow the complete story to be told as it should have been.","2024-12-02T08:30:37.99857-05:00",{"id":238,"logo":253,"name":254,"slug":255,"tags":256,"bluesky":257,"twitter":255,"youtube":255,"facebook":254,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":258,"website_url":259,"score_format":260,"average_score":208,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":261,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":77,"reviews_editor_email":261,"editor_in_chief_email":261,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FEuroGamer-Logo.png","Eurogamer","eurogamer","[  \n  'corporate_owned',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","eurogamer.bsky.social","Your trusted source for video game news, reviews and guides, since 1999.","https:\u002F\u002Feurogamer.net","5","tom@eurogamer.net",{"id":263,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":115,"author":264,"original_score":271,"normalized_score":272,"review_url":273,"review_date":274,"summary":275,"created_at":276,"updated_at":276,"author_id":265,"last_edited_at":173,"outlet":277},27807,{"id":265,"bio":26,"name":266,"avg_score":267,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":268,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":269,"claim_token":26,"article_count":270,"claimed_by_user_id":26},2868,"Carolyn Petit",64.5,"2024-12-04T12:18:32.207321-05:00","2025-01-24T04:34:51.476352-05:00",21,"5.0",50,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com\u002Freviews\u002Flego-the-hobbit-review\u002F1900-6415731\u002F","2014-04-14","An unexpectedly dull journey.","2024-12-04T14:01:02.049122-05:00",{"id":115,"logo":278,"name":279,"slug":280,"tags":256,"bluesky":281,"twitter":279,"youtube":280,"facebook":279,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":282,"website_url":283,"score_format":45,"average_score":284,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":285,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpot-Logo.jpg","GameSpot","gamespot","gamespot.com","GameSpot is the world's leading source for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS Vita, Wii, PC, 3DS, and DS video game news, reviews, previews, trailers, walkthroughs, and more.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com",72,"thussain@fandom.com",{"id":287,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":288,"author":289,"original_score":295,"normalized_score":196,"review_url":296,"review_date":297,"summary":298,"created_at":293,"updated_at":293,"author_id":290,"last_edited_at":293,"outlet":299},56000,11,{"id":290,"bio":26,"name":291,"avg_score":196,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":292,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":293,"claim_token":26,"article_count":294,"claimed_by_user_id":26},4684,"Jason Tabrys","2025-01-24T10:32:08.123163-05:00","2025-01-24T10:32:08.472256-05:00",1,"3.5","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.denofgeek.com\u002Fgames\u002Flego-the-hobbit-review\u002F","2014-04-12","Does Lego's journey to the Shire deliver?",{"id":288,"logo":300,"name":301,"slug":302,"tags":303,"bluesky":304,"twitter":305,"youtube":306,"facebook":307,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":308,"website_url":309,"score_format":260,"average_score":168,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":310,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":77,"reviews_editor_email":311,"editor_in_chief_email":312,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FDenOfGeek-Logo.png","Den of Geek","den-of-geek","[  \n  'inactive'\n  ]","denofgeek.bsky.social","DenofGeekUS","denofgeektube","DenOfGeekUS","A global pop culture powerhouse.

New events and mining opportunities make exploration of the open world almost as fun as the main missions. The storytelling presumes you already know the source material by heart, which means things are sometimes a bit disjointed, and the game, like the movies it’s based on, ends at an awkward place.
