LEGO® The Hobbit™ follows Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Thorin and his company of Dwarves on a journey to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Its Middle-earth route stretches from the Shire to Goblin-town and beyond, giving the adventure a travelogue feel as the company makes its way toward the lost kingdom. The familiar quest is framed through LEGO’s playful style, with the source describing the game as an expansive LEGO adventure.
Combat and puzzle-solving both shape the journey. The company faces threats including ravenous Trolls and dangerous Orcs, while puzzles call for players to combine the Dwarves’ distinct abilities. That party-based design gives the group more to do than simply follow Bilbo’s story, and the source notes that solving puzzles can lead to humorous results. The contrast between perilous encounters and comic problem-solving is central to the game’s character.
The listed formats include single-player, multiplayer and shared or split-screen play, with Remote Play Together also supported.
