Fidelity

Read first?
01
When to read first
Read The Eye of the World first if you want Jordan's opening, the magic, and the world's rules in his order. A game set in that world can trip over them early.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first if you want a period FPS in that setting and you are not protective of the early books. Do not expect the novels' plot in level form.
03
Why
Based on a series is a wide phrase. Here it means the world and its rules, which is enough to nick the sense of discovery and not enough to replace a book.
