Whilst the strategy game was indeed terrible, I felt the RPG actually turned out okay, considering that Cyanide had severely limited resources to work on it. It certainly had some decent work put into it and, in particular, it has the best storyline of any GoT spin-off product to date (certainly the best not written by GRRM). The combat and levelling mechanics were flawed, but I've seen worse in supposed triple-A titles.

The biggest problem is that it takes ages to really get going. Once it does, it gets really good and, as I said, the ending is flat-out brilliant. Hopefully the review did not come across as more negative than I intended.
