One Of The Worst Xbox Games Of All Time Has Dropped To $2.99

Every year here at Pure Xbox, we highlight the best and worst games of the past 12 months according to Metacritic's rankings, and nobody seemed overly surprised when The Lord of the Rings: Gollum took the "worst" award in 2023.

This was a game that had a lot of hype behind it pre-launch, but clearly was suffering from development troubles ahead of release, ultimately settling on a miserable 33 average rating on Metacritic when it debuted in May of that year.

However, if you've been curious about The Lord of the Rings: Gollum over the past few years, you're now in luck. As part of this week's Xbox sales (not the "Critically Acclaimed" one!), the game has dropped to just £2.49 / $2.99, making this the best discount ever for Gollum on Xbox.

Is it worth it? Eh, that's up to you to decide. The curiosity factor might be enough for you here (after all, it's less than a cup of a coffee!), but with so many amazing games launching on Xbox all the time, I can't say i'd find the time for it.

We'll leave the decision in your hands, and don't forget that some amazing Xbox games are also heavily discounted at the moment, including an unbelievable deal for The Witcher 3 and an incredible offer for RoboCop: Rogue City.
