While it has promising gameplay and concept, but is flawed in its execution and its technical issues would make it unplayable, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North would leave players more disappointed if they complete the game. With uninteresting characters, story, and repetitive combat, the game will feel more like a chore than a high-fantasy adventure that the books, and movies, it inspires from. While there can be some fun with a friend in co-op and combat can be satisfying at times, it is better that this game remains in the North.
