    This poor IP getting dragged through the mud.

      It is the way of all things good in this world, that eventually they end up in the hands of people who care only to extract money from it.

    Not sure if typo or word play.

      That stood out to me as well. (It wouldn’t be a typo, unless maybe the author is using a Colemak keyboard, but it could be a misunderstanding of the word.)

    Looks like Palia with hobbits. Personally I’m not too impressed, but maybe it’ll find its niche.

      That alone would be enough for me to never open Palia again.

        … also not this game, but especially not Palia.

    It looks like this is the first game made by Weta. That gives me a lot of confidence they will get the right tone for the game. Hopefully this will be like a chill Animal Crossing in Middle Earth.

    I like the idea, but the execution looks cheap. I’m more open to middle earth games without fighting than with though so I won’t lament the IP yet. It often feels hamfisted to force it into the slashy-casty box.

    I think I would find it hard to get immersed in a Middle Earth where the characters move like robots. I hope they get that worked out.

    Doesn’t look anything like LOTR.
