LOTR: Gollum — Steam Gift

About the game

You climb across Middle-earth, hide from orcs in grass and shadows, and constantly tip between two minds — scheming Gollum and timid Sméagol. This is a Steam gift: our bot sends the game straight to your account, and it stays in your library for good.

Once the gift is delivered it cannot be refunded. If Steam rejects the gift due to region mismatch, the full amount is returned to your site balance.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum as a Steam gift

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a stealth-adventure by Daedalic Entertainment and publisher Nacon, released on 25 May 2023. It offers an unusual angle on Tolkien's world: instead of a mighty hero, you live the story as Middle-earth's most conflicted creature — Gollum. Here it's a Steam gift: the game arrives straight in your Steam account, lands in your library and stays there for good. There are no codes to enter by hand — the gift shows up ready to accept.

What the game is about and who you play

The story unfolds in the gap between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring — the dark stretch the books only hint at. After his encounter with Bilbo, Gollum is enslaved in Mordor, escapes, is captured by the elves of Mirkwood and finally faces interrogation by Gandalf. It's a tale of a creature broken by the Ring, clinging to the one thing he has left — his precious. Along the way you'll see familiar book locations from an unusual angle — the mines and towers of Mordor, the thickets of Mirkwood — and meet characters every Tolkien fan knows by name.

The core hook is the split mind. At key moments you choose who takes over: the cunning, selfish Gollum or the timid Sméagol who still remembers kindness. These dialogue forks set the tone of scenes and underline the character's inner struggle.

How the gameplay works

This is a third-person game built around stealth and platforming, not combat. Gollum is weak in a straight fight, so your tools are shadows, tall grass and vertical level design. Here's what the loop looks like:

  • Climbing and traversal. Gollum scrambles up ledges, vines and outcrops, moving nimbly where an ordinary hero would be stuck.
  • Stealth. In hostile zones you hide in grass and shadows, slip past orcs and distract them. Getting spotted in a stealth zone is an instant fail, so plan your route.
  • Silent takedowns. Helmetless orcs can be removed quietly to clear a path.
  • Gollum/Sméagol choices. Periodic forks reflecting the hero's dual nature.

What's in the base edition

The gift unlocks the full game plus the bonus content Daedalic baked into the standard version: the original soundtrack, an art exhibition with concept art and development secrets, a lore compendium covering key characters and locations, and Sindarin voice-over — authentic Elvish dialogue for atmosphere. This is a complete game; you don't need any previously purchased base to run it.

Editions: base and Precious Edition

The product comes in two editions — pick the one that fits you:

  • The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ — the standard edition with the full game and all the bonus content described above.
  • The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ — Precious Edition — the expanded version: the same base game plus extra digital materials for fans of the world. Grab this if you want the most around Gollum's story.

Both editions are a complete game; you can play as soon as the gift lands in your library.

How you receive the Steam gift

It all happens automatically, with almost nothing for you to do:

  • Our bot adds you as a friend on Steam by itself (or you simply follow an invite link) — there's no need to send or confirm a friend request manually.
  • The bot sends the gift straight to your account and then removes you from its friends.
  • You just accept the gift — and The Lord of the Rings: Gollum appears in your Steam library.
  • Steam Guard is not required, and you never hand over access to your account.

The gift usually arrives within a couple of minutes after payment. A couple of conditions to keep it smooth: the game must not already be in your Steam library, and your Steam account region must match the region of the gift — otherwise Steam won't let you accept it. You can see your region in your Steam account details settings.

Where to play

The gift is for PC on Windows via Steam. On PlayStation and Xbox the game ships as separate editions and won't activate with this gift. It can run on Steam Deck too, but the game isn't officially Valve-verified, so be ready to tweak graphics and controls to taste.

Is it worth it

Let's be honest: at launch the game drew cool reviews for technical rough edges and mission design. But if you're drawn to Tolkien's world from an unusual angle, enjoy stealth-platforming and like the very idea of living the story as Gollum, it's a one-of-a-kind experience you won't find elsewhere — and it costs a fraction of what it did at release.
