The Lord of the Rings is a beloved franchise, be it on the page, on the screen or in video games. Now, Tolkien’s famous land of Middle-Earth is finally getting an RPG based on it. Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is an entirely new story occurring alongside the events in the books with brand-new characters, one in which the protagonists and villains from the books and films will make occasional appearances throughout the game and landmark battles from the books will be playable. While the RPG elements aren’t complex compared to what most RPG fans are used to, The Third Age is a great RPG title that throws gamers into Middle-earth like no other game has previously.
