Dorf Goes House Hunting. Acclaimed actor John Rhys Davies narrates all of two minutes of this Fourth Age survival, crafting experience about dwarves retaking the ancient dwarvish home. They got tired of During hitting the snooze button. This game is so impenetrably dark (it takes place under a mountain) that you’re left wondering why the combat isn’t more like Dark Souls. If flailing aimlessly at goblins, trolls, and The Lord of the Rings fanservice references gets stale, there’s a vast subterrane to explore and rebuild, as well as riches beyond measure to mine and unearth. The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria could have learned Moria from Minecraft but the spirit of Tolkien lives on in its tapestry, its texture, and all that singing. OH man, the SINGING! Still more lore-accurate than Rings of Power. Count your blessings.
