The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age offers fans of the Tolkien universe a chance to experience the epic journey alongside the Fellowship. While its turn-based combat draws inspiration from classic Final Fantasy titles, it occasionally feels simplistic. Fans will appreciate how the narrative intertwines with the movies and features original characters, but those seeking deep RPG mechanics or strict adherence to lore might be left wanting more. Yet, The Third Age delivers a satisfying Middle-earth adventure with faithful visuals and sound.
