What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
June 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. It has been discounted 20 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 38 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre. The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut ($9.99, scores 62) outscores it, and so does Fable - The Lost Chapters ($9.99, scores 67). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Critics scored it 58. Players sit 15 points higher at 73 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data says about 3 percent of players ever finish it. On a 19.3-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. 1 of the 272 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 28 percent of the 257 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
If you're like me, obsessed with ASOIAF lore, distraught about the ending of the GoT show and the delay of Winds of Winter, thought House of the Dragon was "meh", and are still itching for more lore to devour, this game could scratch that itch. In fact, it's best if you're already familiar with the world to appreciate it more. It's very well-written, voice acted, and immersive, with many cameos of and homages to...
Don't sleep on this game one of the best fantasy RPG's I have played in a while - if you can look past the dated graphics there is a real gem here. 8.5/10
Best ASOIAF product besides the main novels. Recommend picking a Medium Armor class for Alester and a Heavy Armor class for Mors at game start so you can make best use of unique items/drip.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Game of Thrones scores 37/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/208730/game-of-thronesThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 6, price as of Sep 22.
