Game of Thrones: War for Westeros isn't even out yet and it already feels ancient
A by-the-numbers RTS based on a TV show that ended seven years ago.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is an RTS set in the world of HBO’s television series, slated for release in 2027. Despite its promising source material, the game feels stale, outdated, and unexciting. After playing a few skirmishes, it became clear that it merely pays homage to the show without adding much new or engaging content.
The gameplay is reminiscent of Age of Empires and The Battle for Middle-earth 2, but it lacks the unique flair that would make it stand out. The factions, such as the Starks and Lannisters, are unremarkable and lack the distinctive features of other games in the genre. While there are some differences, they are not enough to generate excitement or nostalgia.
The aesthetics and visual appeal are also lacking, making battles less engaging to watch. Overall, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is a conventional and unmemorable RTS that fails to capture the spirit of the show or provide a fresh experience for fans.
