If I want to play LOTR games, experience everything there is to the fullest in the setting, which games would be appropriate? Are there any that I should skip or should I just go through them, one by one, in order of release?

Conquest. Battle for Middle Earth.
And even though they get hate, Shadow of Mordor/War are very enjoyable, and can give more personality to orcs if you're into that, which could in turn give you a different outlook on the world of LotR.
There are no bad LotR games to the best of my knowledge.

mfw shitty games, the Hobbit trilogy and an upcoming Amazon series is all modern audiences will know about Tolkien's visionary reworking of European mythology.

None, Tolkien's world has never been done true justice in video game form.

The Third Age for Warband

Howe > Lee

>Conquest. Battle for Middle Earth
Literally the worst LotR video game ever made.

>Tolkien is the wen on the arse of fantasy literature. His oeuvre is massive and contagious - you can't ignore it, so don't even try. The best you can do is consciously try to lance the boil. And there's a lot to dislike - his cod-Wagnerian pomposity, his boys-own-adventure glorying in war, his small-minded and reactionary love for hierarchical status-quos, his belief in absolute morality that blurs moral and political complexity. Tolkien's clichés - elves 'n' dwarfs 'n' magic rings - have spread like viruses. He wrote that the function of fantasy was 'consolation', thereby making it an article of policy that a fantasy writer should mollycoddle the reader.
