The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingĮA’s first attempt at recreating the skirmishes from Peter Jackson’s trilogy wasn’t a failure by any means –– The Two Towers combined a combo-based combat system (a la Devil May Cry) with the environments and characters of the Lord of the Rings films with flying colors. Dozens of characters can be unlocked from across Tolkien’s rich history, and the seemingly endless supply of collectibles is not only a warm invitation to explore Middle-earth, it’s also a reason to stay. It released in 2012, and despite its quirky aesthetic, it’s actually one of the better games set in the Lord of the Rings fiction.

TT Games continually makes good use of source material with the LEGO franchise, and LEGO Lord of the Rings is no exception.
