LEGO The Lord of the Rings Controls (Keyboard & Gamepad)

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, LEGO Game / 01 Jan 2025

Get ready, the destiny of Middle-earth is in your thumbs and index fingers? You heard correctly!! In LEGO Lord of the Rings, the toughest challenge isn’t fighting Orcs, it’s conquering muscle memory that betrays you at the most critical moments. Will you jump like a hero mimicking Aragorn, or will you frantically construct a useless barrier as a Cave Troll smashes your minifig head into the ground?
