William the Conquerer didnвЂ™t kill Harold Godwinson, some random archer did by shooting him the eye. Sure, there are teleporting warlocks and crazy dragon mommas, but at its heart itвЂ™s a mirror to the nasty, brutish, political struggles of our own medieval past. The great thing about the Game of Thrones universe is its gritty realism. Again, here was a massively missed opportunity. It takes more than one mighty swoop to slay even the weakest wildling, which leads to a rather boring combat experience. Mors hacks away at numerous enemies and can вЂslow down timeвЂ™ to tee up different chains of attacks. The combat is similarly formulaic but nowhere near as funny. In one cutscene I almost coughed up my Glenfiddich 15 in stunned amusement Lord Commander Mormont was sentencing a deserter to his headless fate, when suddenly he stuck his hips to the side, placed on a bent left arm on his love handles, and flapped his other in the air like Beyonce. Textures are bland, shadows are linear, maps are formulaic, and character animations border on the absurd. So when a title refuses to let you render the game in resolutions higher than 1440, you know youвЂ™ve got a problem.Д«eyond that, simple errors raise their head.

IвЂ™m a PC gamer, which means I take obsessive pride in my rig, and buy high definition LED widescreens for a reason. And none of this is presented in a format thatвЂ™s particularly appealing anyway. Your character can be leveled up through stat points, an innovation as hot as вЂ96, and combat buffs can be granted through balancing strengths and weaknesses. It borrows heavily from RPG staples, such as tanks and rogues.

Unfortunately this extends to the game mechanic itself.
