The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is now out on store shelves - even if arguably it shouldn't be given the many issues reviewers have faced during their hands on time with the game. And, well, despite what we called some 'dreadful' early review scores, the game has charted here in the UK - at least in physical form.
Last week's UK boxed game sales figures have been released, and The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has hit number six in its launch week. We don't have the actual numbers here, but it's broken into the top-10 for physical sales in the region.
However, gamesindustry.biz says that the game's launch figures are "weak" - even if it has managed number six on the charts. Still, according to the outlet Gollum has done better than Lego 2K Drive managed in the UK during its launch window; the week prior.
The LOTR name is likely helping push sales here then, we just hope that the team gets some patches out quickly to help smooth things over. Sure, many of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum's issues probably can't be solved with updates, but even so, the dev team has pledged to support the game with patches in the coming weeks and months.
