Bought this game for my wife. To be clear, not many games can keep her focus because they suffer from some defect. This game has her very focused and enjoying herself. Some complain that it lacks action but it's a cozy game. One might as well complain the fish are bad at flying. Other complain about it's visuals but when I consider it's price of $37 and the goal here to be a cozy game set in Hobbiton, the visuals are excellent for inducing relaxation and pleasantness.
I think this game is worth its price and that complaints toward it are unjustified.
P.S. the dwarven female has a beard. This game is lore accurate so show respect.
