Best Lord of the Rings games

As with the best Star Wars or Star Trek games on PC, the best Lord of the Rings games stretch across a bunch of different genres. Among the following entries, you’ll find an RTS, a MMORPG, a text adventure and a couple of decent open-world adventures, among others, based on both the books and Peter Jackson’s classic movies.
We’ve expanded the remit here to include some games based on The Hobbit and other parts of Middle-earth lore—we’ve done this because the PC has such an extensive history of Tolkien games compared to other platforms, and we wanted to reflect that.
We’ve updated this list following the release of Shadow of War, which, while bloated, is still more than good enough to make the cut.

Released: 1982
Melbourne House’s take on Tolkien is something of a legend in the UK, where systems like the Spectrum ruled. As well as (for the time) excellent graphics, it featured wandering NPCs, interactions like the infamous ‘Say to Thorin «CARRY ME»‘, and the full, albeit condensed story. The most memorable thing about it though is its combat ‘engine’—a purely random system that lets Bilbo be the ultimate badass. Actual quote: «With one well placed blow, you cleave his skull. Gandalf is dead.» Thorin says: «Well, are we just going to stand around all day?»—Richard Cobbett
The Lord of the Rings Volume 1 and 2
Released: 1990, 1992
Interplay’s take on the series switched the action from adventure to RPG, with an admirable focus on both following the novel’s story, complete with features like a day/night cycle that controlled how often the likes of the Nazgûl would show up, and scattering in assorted sidequests and bonus content like finding the pieces of Anduril.
The sequel, The Two Towers, also offered the novelty of multiple parties on their own adventures. Sadly, it didn’t click. Even The Two Towers went largely unnoticed by RPG fans, and the third part never ended up happening.—Richard Cobbett
The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Released: 2003
EA’s The Lord of the Rings games were a mixed affair, but a couple of strong efforts made their way to PC. This hack-and-slash adventure based on the third movie faithfully tells its story in three different parallel strands, following Frodo, Sam and Gollum, then Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli, plus Gandalf doing his thing. It looked nice for the time, and though we called out the controls for being built for consoles rather than PC in our original review, it remains EA’s highest-rated Lord of the Rings game in PC Gamer UK history, with 85%. Like all of the publisher’s old LOTR games, you can’t buy it digitally, only in old boxed copies.—Samuel Roberts
The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth II
A familiar-feeling but well-produced RTS that improved on the first game, particularly with the CPU AI, this was a decent large-scale translation of The Lord of the Rings.
With good and evil campaign paths, a gorgeous (for the time) version of Middle-Earth with extravagantly realised locations and well-animated units, this is probably as good as a LOTR RTS will ever get. It was certainly better than The War of the Ring, a non-starter 2003 effort from Vivendi based on the books rather than Peter Jackson’s movies.
You could even create your own heroes for skirmishes, and new content for the game is supported by an active modding community. The only issue now, of course, is getting hold of a boxed copy, since EA’s licence lapsed and that means no one can sell it digitally. Find a way to play Battle for Middle-Earth II, though, and there’s still a community hosting multiplayer servers, which now also support the game’s expansion, The Rise of the Witch King.—Samuel Roberts
The Lord of the Rings Online
Released: 2007
While it never really undercut World of Warcraft as its creators hoped, Lord of the Rings Online is easily one of the best Tolkien games around.
Rather than try and recreate Middle Earth in one go, creators Turbine started in relatively quiet areas like the Shire, with expansions since then roughly following the Fellowship’s path to Mordor while filling in the gaps around the sides. For fans of the world, there’s no better way to jump in and explore—especially as the base game is free.—Richard Cobbett
Lego The Lord of the Rings
Released: 2012
This is one of the better Lego games, featuring a truncated open-world version of Middle-Earth that somehow stands as the most faithful translation of the settings as seen in Peter Jackson’s films. Each region is pretty detailed, and the colour palette is surprisingly spot-on. It’s not the best choice if you want to take Middle-earth super seriously, but the oddly effective use of voices from the movies, combined with the Lego games’ now deeply familiar slapstick humour, make it an ideal all-ages choice. Plus, unlike most of the games on this list, it’s readily available from Steam.
—Samuel Roberts
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Released: 2014
Shadow of Mordor is one of the most talked about games of the last few years thanks to the Nemesis system. This generates unique orc commanders for your hero, Talion, to face off against, and depending on the results of their encounters, they can blossom into grudges that play out over the course of the game.
Its borrowing of Assassin’s Creed-style systems is pretty successful, too, with high-quality melee and ranged combat. I’m not in love with the two sparse-feeling overworlds, or the main story—Talion, killed by Sauron’s Black Hand, is brought back by Elven wraith Celebrimbor to exact revenge—but you could rightly argue that the real story in Shadow of Mordor is the relationships you form with both your orc opponents and brainwashed pals.—Samuel Roberts
Middle-earth: Shadow of War
Released: 2017
Shadow of War isn’t a total slam dunk, thanks to more open world busywork than its predecessor, but it also builds on the first game in some decent ways.
Conquering Nemesis fortresses with your army of orcs gives the sequel a sense of scale the first didn’t really have, and the improved Nemesis system means even more meaningful encounters with the cockney warriors of Middle-earth.
Take Tim’s encounters with Mozû the Blight , for example, where the large orc who looks like he’s had cheese melted onto his face began bullying him. Then there’s an orc who will track you down to sing to you. These minions are the true stars of the game, and it’s amazing we haven’t seen the Nemesis system implemented elsewhere in games yet. Shame about the loot boxes , then, but they didn’t spoil Andy’s enjoyment of the game.—Samuel Roberts
And here are some Tolkien games we’re less keen on
We hesitate to call these the worst Tolkien adaptations—some of them are—but like a lot of big licensed properties, The Lord of the Rings is more prone to average or disappointing games than outright disasters. Here is a selection of them.
Lord of the Rings
Sadly, lightning couldn’t strike twice for Melbourne House.
Its take on Lord of the Rings arguably shows why so few games have dared take on the full trilogy—even with three games and the success of The Hobbit to build on, the designers couldn’t live up to the scope of the book and struggled from the start to turn its adventure into a series of puzzles. With most of The Hobbit’s advanced features jettisoned, the only thing it really became remembered for was its scale.—Richard Cobbett
War In Middle Earth
Released: 1989
While most games up to this point tried to tell the story, this one used the power of more modern computers to provide a slightly different take. It was primarily a strategy game focused on the clash of armies and heroes. The clever parts, though, were in the victory conditions. To win, you could defeat Sauron’s armies fairly, or get the Ring (not necessarily carried by Frodo) to Mount Doom, while the baddies could win by retrieving it and making it back to Mordor. A clever set-up, even if the strategy side was too simple for most players.
—Richard Cobbett
Riders of Rohan
Released: 1991
Set during The Two Towers, Riders of Rohan is somewhat reminiscent of the better known Defender of the Crown—a mix of strategy and minigames that sees you leading armies against the orc hordes, while also getting your hands dirty with duels and magic and shooting invading soldiers with a crossbow. Like most games that mix flavours, the result was that no individual part of it ended up being particularly great. Still, there were definitely worse ways to combine both the macro-scale of the fight against Sauron with the importance of individuals down on the ground.—Richard Cobbett
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest
Released: 2009
This was a disappointing translation of LOTR into a different genre, this time a Battlefield-esque competitive game. Conquest came from Pandemic, creators of the rough but vividly film-like Star Wars: Battlefront games, and this should’ve been fun and authentic like those.
Unfortunately, it felt a lot cheaper, with bad animation, poor combat and underwhelming small-scale adaptations of the movie’s best set pieces.
I wish I could still play Conquest as a curio against the AI, but I know it’s the sort of thing I’d buy in an Origin sale for $8/£6, play for 20 minutes and then never again.—Samuel Roberts
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Released: 2011
Play as some nobodies in this floppy appendage to the films, that shows you parts of Middle-Earth lore previously unseen in the games or movies. The hope with War of the North was that it could capture some of the co-op magic of Snowblind’s Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance games on PS2, but it’s instead a repetitive and clunky action game that didn’t capture the drama of the films or the appeal of that fictional universe.
War in the North not a disaster, mind, just one that only patient LOTR fans will enjoy. Releasing it shortly after Skyrim (or just before, in the US) was a death sentence.
—Samuel Roberts
Lego The Hobbit
Released: 2014
If you’re going to adapt a movie trilogy, at least do all three films before you release the game. Instead, the trigger was pulled on Lego Hobbit before the turgid third movie even hit the multiplexes, and hopes that it would be covered via DLC never materialised. Chances are, you’ve got three or four other Lego games in your Steam library that are more deserving of your time.—Samuel Roberts

The Lord of The Rings
Reclaim the Dwarven homeland of Moria
Welcome to
The Lord of the Rings™: Return to Moria™, the only survival crafting video game set in the Fourth Age of
Middle-earth™, the iconic fantasy world created by J.R.R.
Tolkien. Summoned to the Misty Mountains by Lord Gimli Lockbearer,
players take control of a company of Dwarves tasked to reclaim the
lost spoils from the Dwarven homeland of Moria—known as Khazad-dûm or
Dwarrowdelf—in the depths below their very feet. Their quest will
require fortitude, delving deep into the Mines of Moria to recover its
treasures.
Set in a procedurally generated Dwarven realm of Moria, no two
adventures will be alike, and every expedition is traversable either
solo or online with companions. Players can mine to craft greater gear
and resources, but beware mining makes noise, and noise created in the
quiet deep threatens to awaken the dangers below: where there’s
clatter, there’s combat.
Excavate the mysteries of three
legendary mountains, extract precious metals, scrape to survive, and
battle unspeakable forces to learn the secret of the Shadow that lurks
within.
Key Game Features
Feel the Fellowship:
Experience the Fellowship of the Dwarves like never before, with the
rich lore of the iconic fantasy world from J.R.R. Tolkien interwoven
into the very fabric of
The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.
Survive the Dark:
To survive the treacherous mines of Moria players must conserve
resources, hunt and gather for food and manage their sleep,
temperature and noise levels.
Utilize dynamic light systems for safety
and to blaze a path further into the darkness. Battle unspeakable
evils and survive hordes of monstrous Orcs in visceral combat, while
uncovering the secret of the Shadow that looms within the mountain.
Base Building:
Find solace from the darkness. Reveal and clear new locations to
create architecture on a grand scale. Get creative and construct bases
from scratch or build upon the existing environment. Beware the evils
which seek to destroy Dwarven progress.
Rebuild and Reshape Moria:
Restore the long-lost ancient kingdom of Khazad-dûm to its former
glory, recovering Dwarven landmarks as the story progresses. Resurrect
old mines and refire their forges to yield their untouched resources.
Explore:
Delve into the depths of the Mines of Moria. Procedurally generated
environments are abundant with resources and fraught with mystery and
danger, providing a unique experience each and every time.
Co-op Multiplayer:
Adventure alone or band together with friends in online cooperative
multiplayer with up to eight players.
Craft Dwarven Tools, Weapons and More:
Craft and loot legendary Dwarven armor, tools, weapons and structures.
Rebuild ancient forges to strengthen, repair and enchant gear. Upgrade
and unlock new technologies and fantastical machines.

near, maps of long-dormant Mithril veins, books with forgotten
crafting plans and amulets that give strength or wisdom.
Mine Ore and Jewels:
Establish mines to unearth deposits of precious resources such as
iron, gold, and quartz; and fantastical materials such as Mithril.
Access crafting stations and forges to convert ore to ingots and
upgrade gear. But be prepared, mining is loud and can awaken what
lurks in the darkness.
Comprehensive Dwarf Builder:
Players become part of Dwarven Legend as they create their own Dwarf
in the custom character creator. Dwarves can be customized in a
variety of ways to create a unique Dwarven identity. Then, during
gameplay, players can find and craft armor and weapons to further
enhance their unique style.

Juelle, eighth grader tells about where the younger generation finds friends Reelle Freunde.
Audio file of the lesson — after the text.

Simon Reinhardt (Siemon Reinhardt) — the father of two sons — only throws up his hands: Julian, the eldest, you can’t drag him away from the computer, then you can’t pull him out of the football club wait. The younger one, Lucas, imitates the older one. Computer game friends or those with whom he plays football, who is more important for Julian? The Bonn eighth grader talks about both. nine0005
Julian’s favorite computer game (Lieblingsspiel) is The Lord of the Rings Online (Der Herr der Ringe Online). That’s what it’s called (heißt es). You create a character for yourself (man erstellt sich einen Charakter) and can individually change its characteristics (man kann ihn individuell gestalten). Julian, along with his younger brother Lucas, play together and have acquired many different characters (ganz viele verschiedene Charaktere). If, while playing, you go with one of the characters (mit einem Charakter) through a virtual country called Middle-earth, then people (stehen Leute rum) stand at various points on the map (irgendwo auf der Karte).
They give the player tasks (geben einem Aufgaben) to complete (man muss erfüllen). You get rewards for this (man bekommt Belohnungen). nine0005
- Mein Lieblingsspiel ist «Der Herr der Ringe Online». Heist es. Man erstellt sich einen Charakter und man kann ihn individuell gestalten. Und, ja… Wir haben jetzt ganz viele verschiedene Charaktere. Und wenn man da mit einem Charakter spielt, stehen irgendwo auf der Karte Leute rum, die geben einem Aufgaben, die man dann erfüllen muss. Wofür man dann halt Belohnungen bekommt.
Those wishing to immediately connect to this game — it is also available in Russian — Julian warns: «The catch is (der Haken ist) that the game is not free (es kostet was). Every month (jeden Monat) — thirteen euros (dreizehn Euro) But if you play with two people (wenn man zu zweit spielt), you can share the costs (kann man sich aufteilen).0005
- Der Haken an diem Spiel ist: Es kostet was. Jeden Monat. Dreizehn Euro, das ist ein bisschen nervig.
Aber wenn man das Spiel zu zweit spielt, kann man sich das aufteilen. Danngeht’s eigentlich. Ja.
The Lord of the Rings Online is a multiplayer game. «As the name implies (wie der Name schon sagt),» Julian explains, «while playing, you are online (man ist online) and you can meet other players by completing tasks (auf dem Weg über die Aufgaben) (man kann andere Spieler treffen) and chat with them (mit denen chatten). The player is not alone (ist nicht allein). He is a member of an entire international community (eine ganze Weltgemeinschaft). You can work together (gemeinsam) to complete tasks (Aufgaben lösen), you can chat with them (man kann mit ihnen chatten)
- Wie der Name schon sagt «Online», ist man da halt online und man kann auf dem Weg über die Aufgaben andere Spieler, die irgendwo auf der Welt sitzen und auch gerade das Spiel spielen, kann man die dann treffen, kann mit denen chatten. – Man ist gar nicht allein? – Manist nothing allein. “Man hat ne ganze… ne Weltgemeinschaft?” – Ja.
Mit denen kann man dann die Aufgaben gemeinsam lösen, kann mit ihnen chatten.
Chat participants are mostly (meistens) people (sind Leute) whom Julian does not know (hat keine Ahnung), who they are (wer das ist). They sit somewhere (sitzen irgendwo rum) and play (spielen). In America (in Amerika) or in China (in China). «Or I don’t know where (was weiß ich wo)», Julian says. nine0005
Chat participation is communication. What (worüber) can the players talk about (können sich unterhalten)? Julian explains how the communication takes place: «There is (es gibt) such a chat window (so ein Chatfenster). You can write (schreiben) into it using the keyboard (mit der Tastatur). The other player (der andere) sees it (sieht das) and can answer (kann antworten) Sometimes (manchmal) in English (in Englisch) Sometimes Germans (es sind Deutsche), sometimes Americans (Amerikaner), sometimes Africans (Afrikaner) Variously (es ist verschieden) The Chinese (Chinesen), of course (natürlich), too, All cultures (alle Kulturen)
- Das sind meistens natürlich Leute, von denen ich keine Ahnung hab, wer das ist.
Die sitzen irgendwo in Amerika rum und spielen da gerade. Order in China. Oder in… was weiß ich wo. – Und worüber könnt ihr euch dann unterhalten? – Ja, dann gibt’s so ein Chatfenster. Dann kann man dann halt mit der Tastatur schreiben. Und das sieht der andere. Man kann dann antworten und so geht es weiter. – In English? – Ja. Manchmal sind es auch Deutsche, manchmal sind’s auch Amerikaner. Manchmal sinds auch Afrikaner. Es ist immer verschieden. -Chinese nothing? — Ja naturallich. Alle Culturen. nine0022
Being a member of a community that includes all the cultures of the planet and having friends on all continents is wonderful. But real life and real friends are much more interesting. Julian is a fidget. He likes to meet friends (sich mit Freunden treffen), and spend the night with them (bei denen übernachten) on weekends (am Wochenende). At home, in the garden (im Garten), he has a rather large trampoline (ein relativ großes Trampolin), on which you can jump very well (man kann gut springen).
Julian has been doing this quite often lately (in der letzten Zeit) (macht ziemlich oft). In addition, he listens to music a lot (hört viel Musik). Reads sometimes something (liest manchmal was). Although not too often (nicht so oft), Julian admits. In his free time, he most often spends with friends. Arranges meetings with them (verabredet sich mit ihnen), plays football with them (spielt Fußball). nine0005
- Vor allem das ist halt mit Freunden treffen. Am Wochenende dann bei denen übernachten. Und so. Und dann… Wir haben ja noch im Garten ein relativ großes Trampolin. Worauf man dann gut springen kann. Und das mach ich in der letzten Zeit ziemlich oft. Und dann halt hör ich viel Musik, les manchmal was. Obwohl ich das nicht so oft mache. Und… Ja, treff mich halt viel mit Freunden. Verabrede mich mit Freunden. Spiele Fussball vor allem.
Does Julian have a best friend? «It’s clear (klar) — Julian smiles — all my friends (alle meine Freunde) are my best friends (sind auch meine besten Freunde).
I think (ich mein), it would be stupid (es wäre doof), if I gave preference to someone (würde jemanden bevorzugen).» nine0005
- Klar. Alle meine Freunde sind auch meine besten Freunde. Ich mein, es wär doch doof, wenn ich jemanden bevorzugen würde.
Lately (in letzter Zeit) Julian has met Maximilian most often (am öftesten). He met him (hat kennengelernt) long ago, when the Reinhardt family still lived (wohnte noch) in another part of the city (in einem anderen Stadtteil). Then the family had to move (mussten umziehen), but Julian continued to maintain relations with him (hat Kontakt mit ihm gehalten). Now the friends live not so far apart (nicht so weit auseinander), and Julian meets with Maximilian almost every weekend (fast jedes Wochenende). «He has the same interests as me (hat dieselben Interessen wie ich),» emphasizes Julian, «he does the same things (macht das Gleiche), and in general is a great guy (ist halt total nett)». nine0005
- Ein Freund, der heißt Maximilian, mit dem treff ich mich in letzter Zeit am öftesten.
Der ist halt mein Freund, weil früher als ich noch in einem anderen Stadtteil wohnte, habe ich den kennengelernt. Da mussten wir aber umziehen, also meine Familie. Ich hab aber trotzdem Kontakt mit ihm gehalten. Und da wir jetzt nicht so weit auseinander weg wohnen, treff ich mich noch fast jedes Wochenende mit dem. Der hat halt dieselben Interessen wie ich, macht das Gleiche und ist halt total nett. Ja. nine0022
Julian and Maximilian prefer to play outside (spielen eher draußen) where they meet other friends (treffen sich mit noch weiteren Freunden). On the computer at home, they only play occasionally (manchmal). Maximilian also plays football (spielt auch Fußball). And so Julian can play with him (mit dem zusammen).
- Wir spielen eher draußen, treffen uns mit noch weiteren Freunden und spielen manchmal auch Computer. Der spielt auch Fussball. Dann spiel ich halt mit dem zusammen Fußball auch. nine0022
And with another friend, Thomas, Julian mainly plays football (spielt hauptsächlich Fußball).
«It seems to me (ich glaub),» he says, «I don’t have a single friend (hab keinen Freund) who doesn’t play football (der nicht Fußball spielt). Most (die meisten) I know from my football club (kenne aus meinem Fußballverein) But what else am I doing with Thomas (was ich auch mit dem Thomas mache) is that game (ist das Spiel) I was just talking about (wovon ich gerade erzählt habe): «The Lord of the Rings Online» (Herr der Ringe Online) Thomas also plays this game (spielt dieses Spiel) and sometimes I call him (ruf den an) and we play together (zusammen).» nine0005
- Ein anderer Freund von mir ist noch Thomas. Ich spiel mit dem hauptsächlich Fußball. Das mach ich mit jedem meinem Freund. Ich hab, glaub ich, keinen Freund, der nicht Fußball spielt. Ja, weil ich die meisten aus meinem Fußballverein kenne. Und was ich auch mit dem Thomas mache, ist das Spiel wovon ich gerade erzählt habe «Herr der Ringe Online». Der spielt dieses Spiel auch und manchmal ruf ich den dann an und spielen wir s zusammen.
Ole stands somewhat apart from Yuliuan’s circle of friends. Since he lives (wohnt) quite far away, in the Ippendorf district, they rarely meet in their free time (nur sehr selten). They became friends (haben sich angefreundet) for real (so richtig) because the birthday (Geburtstag) of both is almost at the same time (fast zur selben Zeit). And once they celebrated it together (haben zusammen gefeiert). nine0005
- Der heist Ole. Was machst du mit Ole zusammen? – Da der in Ippendorf wohnt, treff ich mich mit dem nur sehr selten. Wo wir uns so richtig angefreundet haben, war als ich… Wir haben fast zur selben Zeit Geburtstag. Ja, da haben wir dann den zusammen gefeiert halt. Den Geburtstag.
There is a large bowling center (gibt es ein großes Bowling-Center) in the Bornheim district. Julian and Ole invited friends there (Freunde eingeladen), rented a playground (haben eine Bahn gemietet) and then played bowling (haben gebowlt), ate (haben gegessen). nine0005
- Wir waren in Bornheim.
Und dort gibt’s n großes Bowling-Center. Und dort haben wir dann halt Freunde eingeladen. Haben ne Bahn gemietet. Und haben dann da gebowlt, gegessen. Ja.
Ole is also in my class (ist auch in meiner Klasse) — explains Julian — that’s why we know each other (kennen uns). But Ole does not play football (spielt nicht Fußball). He doesn’t play at the sports club (spielt nicht im Verein), Julian clarifies, so (deswegen) he doesn’t play very well (spielt nicht besonders gut). And so, again, (und deswegen wiederum) I don’t play football with him very often (spiel nicht so oft).»
- Und der ist auch in meiner class. Daher kennen wir uns überhaupt. – Aber Fussball spielt er nicht. — Der spielt jetzt nicht im Verein Fußball. Deswegen spielt er auch nicht besonders gut Fußball. Und deswegen wiederum spiel ich mit dem auch nicht so oft Fußball.
Julian’s dad, Simon Reinhardt, still remembers the days when football was played in the wasteland behind the school and in the school yard.
Some parents are unhappy that organizers of children’s free time have to pay for their services. But one should also see the advantages, says Simon Reinhardt: professionals are involved with children who help the child develop his talents, in the football club the child is insured in case of injury. This is also important. nine0005
But does Julian himself like the club? «Certainly (klar),» Julian nods, «Twice a week (zweimal in der Woche) — training (Training). Once a week (einmal in der Woche) — game (Spiel). Usually on Saturdays (meistens samstags The club (der Verein) is called Erster SF Brüser Berg. There I met many friends (hab viele Freunde kennengelernt) and meet them (treff mich mit denen) to play football (zum Fußballspielen).»
- Klar. Zweimal in der Woche Training. Einmal in der Woche Spiel. Samstags meistens. Der Verein heist Erster SF Brüser Berg. Da hab ich dann halt viele Freunde kennengelernt und deswegen kenn ich da viele Freunde und treff mich oft mit denen zum Fußballspielen.
