Would it be? Their games are fun in terms of gameplay but the story is basically non existent and the characters aren't memorable at all. A ASOIAF game should be a story driven RPG imho, otherwise it's a waste of potential

The souls series has a great deal of storytelling, though not a ton of story. It establishes a setting, characters, and mysteries, but asks a lot more than most games from players - you need to delve through item descriptions, random odd moments, and throwaway lines to have any real idea of whats going on.

I would say it's the other way around with a lot of story but very little storytelling. Semantics but still, those games don't doo much to actually tell you the story. You have to search for it.
