WTMG’s Leo Faria: “Tales of the Shire is too boring of a game, too boring of a slice-of-life simulator, and its weak usage of Tolkien’s license makes it feel even more disappointing. Sadly, I don’t think its premise would have worked that well right from the getgo, but even the mundane life of a Hobbit should have felt less boring than this. And less visually underwhelming. But if there’s any solace to this game at the end of the day… well, at least you’re not as bad as Gollum. But at the same time, that one was so disastrous, it is still more notable in this day and age. Tales of the Shire can’t even stand out as a bad game. Make of that what you will.”
