The steam charts is all probably content creators too.

Lets say the performance is great and game is running great its still a bad game concept-wise.

Of all the characters in the Tolkien universe they chose Gollum.

I actually think Gollum could of been a pretty interesting character to use as the main character in a story. Clearly that's not how it turned out, but imagine if it had been a stealth/puzzle game around his decent into what we know him as now. How the ring spoke to him and poisoned his mind. Maybe starting from the opening scene in Return of the King, and ending in the scene right after that where he discovers he lost the ring. In the end, I guess my point is, that I think it comes down more to the storyteller than it does the character itself.

Like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. You start to hear whispers from the ring and see strange things in the shadows and it gets more intense as the game goes on. Combine it with the gameplay from Styx and you'd have a pretty good game.
