RPGs that feel like Lord of the Rings yet aren't overly complicated?

Essentially what the title says—just trying to find a fun game like this. I have played games like Zelda, Skyrim, and Elden Ring. Just trying to find a new game to play.

The Lord of the Rings The Age of Three. An actual role-playing game based on the Lord of the Rings.

Probably my all-time favorite 8 out of 10. Apart from battle, it doesn’t really excel at anything, but for many hours, it is a very consistently enjoyable experience.

Love the game, but for me the combat got stale after awhile.

Because the Elder Scrolls was the biggest thing in the genre at the time of release, most RPGs had dreadful hack and slash combat, so KoA felt like a breath of new air in that regard.

I have to admit, I was a bit late to the game and only started playing it a couple of years ago when it was free on PSN.
