As a LotR fan and avid gamer who wants to get into cozy games, I was really looking forward to this game. It's just horrible. Going in I knew the graphics weren't great, but figured that if it had good gameplay, decorating and a cute themed story, I could look past the graphics. It wasn't meant to be though. The graphics are so bad, even on high and ultra settings that it gave both my husband and me a headache. They just look poor quality up close, but for some reason the background and distance graphics are really blurry, to the point of hurting your eyes. It's also supposed to be open-world but it's extremely linear and forces you to only interact with NPCs and items that are directly involved with your current quest. The story is also extremely slow and not engaging. I've played decorating and building games before and really enjoyed them, but this game is just bad all around. It honestly looks and plays like a bad mobile game. It's the first time I've requested a refund from Steam. Avoid.
