He works as a slave, all while struggling to maintain mental balance between his Smeagol persona and his Gollum one. After Aragorn captures him, Gollum recounts to Gandalf his escape from Barad-dûr. Chronologically, it takes place after the events of The Hobbit, when Bilbo takes the One Ring from our titular protagonist.
If you know anything about The Lord of the Rings, then you basically already know the plot of Gollum. At least there was a point to Frodo’s journey. With its poor appearance, uninspired gameplay, and lack of a meaningful plot, playing through The Lord of the Rings: Gollum feels as treacherous and miserable as the journey to Mordor. Though Daedalic Entertainment likely did not make The Lord of the Rings: Gollum in order to fit that particular niche, it certainly feels like it. They’re mostly there to piggyback off the success of the property they’re based on, after all. The Harry Potter entries likely wouldn’t hold up to the test of time, nor would the ones for The Chronicles of Narnia. In bygone days, video games based on TV shows and popular movies were usually hit or miss.
