Even before its official announcement, many anticipated "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" with a mix of skepticism and hope. Its initial appearance evoked comparisons to older-generation console or mobile games. However, the lack of compelling "Game of Thrones" titles fueled optimism for a potential surprise hit.
Now, thanks to the Steam Next Fest demo, the verdict is in: "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is widely considered disappointing.
Players have criticized nearly every aspect, from outdated combat and graphics to questionable design choices strongly reminiscent of mobile games. Many label it a simple port, though even if not, its visuals and mechanics strongly suggest a 2010-era release.
While some positive Steam reviews express anticipation for the full release, their uniformity raises questions about their authenticity. Are they genuine expressions of hope, or something else entirely?
"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is slated for release on PC (Steam) and mobile devices, though a firm release date remains unannounced.
