The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Review In Progress

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria takes the survival crafting genre into the dangerous mines of Middle-earth, reflavoring familiar elements with the charm of stouthearted dwarves and the threat of goblins, orcs, and worse. Developed by Free Range Games and published by North Beach Games, Return to Moria is positioned as a potential redemption for recent forays into Tolkien’s world, as The Lord of the Rings: Gollum met with a strikingly negative reception earlier this year. Return to Moria doesn’t quite find riches beneath the ground, but it does manage to avoid stumbling entirely on its way into the depths.
