From the moment "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" was first announced, it faced a wave of skepticism. Many viewers criticized its visuals, likening them to outdated PlayStation 3-era games or typical mobile titles. Despite this, a hopeful group of fans clung to the possibility of a successful outcome, eager for a new take on the beloved series which has seen few compelling adaptations in the gaming world.

The recent Steam Next Fest event has provided a definitive answer with the release of the game's demo. The consensus among players is overwhelmingly negative: "Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" has been slammed for its dated combat system, graphics, and design elements that scream "mobile game." Critics have gone as far as to label it a mere port of a mobile game to PC, though even without this accusation, the game feels like a relic from 2010.

Despite the harsh feedback, the demo's Steam page does feature some positive reviews. These comments, often similar in phrasing and expressing enthusiasm for the demo and anticipation for the full release, have sparked speculation. Are these genuine sentiments from the same optimists who initially believed in the game, or are they the work of bots? The true nature of these reviews remains a mystery.

"Game of Thrones: Kingsroad" is set to launch on PC via Steam and on mobile devices, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
