The Last Days of the Third Age is a Must-Play Steam Game Before the Open-World Lord of the Rings Game

Lord of the Rings games come and go, but some of the best Middle-earth experiences aren’t official releases at all. The Last Days of the Third Age is a total conversion mod for Mount & Blade: Warband (and the original Mount & Blade) that turns TaleWorlds’ medieval sandbox into a full-blown Lord of the Rings game. While plenty of mods add a few themed weapons or armor sets, The Last Days goes much further, rebuilding the game around Tolkien’s world and the War of the Ring.
