The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

This game had a lot of issues with glitches that went unresolved. My theory is that this game suffered severely in sales due to its close release to the gargantuan entry into the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim. And when their sales went straight into the commode, they decided that instead of fixing all those glitches, they'd simple move on and act as if they didn't exist.

But I'm still giving this a nine, so what gives? Well, I guess I got lucky. I only ever experienced one major glitch in the game and I was able to be pulled from its depths with the help of a friend. Honestly, I loved this game. The three-player online co-op was a blast, the combat was fluid and engaging, and all the environments, while feeling somewhat on rails, were a blast to explore.

I love this game and I wish they hadn't been so foolish in their release plans. I have no doubts that they had high hopes for this game. I'm sure they'd begun working on story DLCs that we're dumped and will never be seen. It's a shame. When this game works properly, it is so, so fun.
