I really hope this doesn't disappoint.
An upcoming survival, crafting game set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth, the fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien.

This could go SO wrong in the hands of a team that doesn't "get" Tolkien. Like the dwarves and Bilbo with the goblins in The Hobbit film. Total rubbish. I'm not a video gamer but the trailer didn't inspire much hope. It reminds me of a typical action / jump around / power up type game like Gauntlet Dark Legacy or Super Mario just with different and better graphics.

Which has me thinking that this could be a great sit down tabletop campaign. The dwarves with some help sent by King Elessar and maybe a little help sent by King Thranduil (at the behest of Legolas) launch a collective assault upon the foul denizens of Moria to reclaim it once and for all....

Yeah, I'm going to wait for reviews before trying it out. Unless it get suck reviews in which case, I'll pass completely.

The opening cinematic has been released, narrated by none other than John Rhys-Davies himself. Hoping this will turn out to be a lot of fun.
