Pros

  • Voiced by actual Game of Thrones actors and actresses.
  • Multiple saves and a "rewind" function allow you to experience the game from multiple angles.
  • Fantastic writing and voice acting that provide an addition to the lore of the Game of Thrones Universe.

Cons

  • Like all Telltale games, the you ultimately cannot change the outcome of the story, this making this less of a game and more of an interactive movie.
  • The games graphics are buggy, and as a result, you lose immersion and smoothness that is so critical for a game like this.

Game of Thrones, by Telltale Games, follows a familiar and well-worn pattern by Telltale: You get to enter an established, fictional universe and guide your character and their allies through a series of decisions. In the game, you play as a member of House Forrester, immediately following the events of the 3rd season and stretching into the 5th season. This is one of the most successful portions of the Game of Thrones series, and includes the aftermath of the Red Wedding, thus providing a gripping narrative.

There's no question that this feels like you are playing a Game of Thrones game: The settings, writing, lore and characterization are all on point - so on point that this game can be a challenge for people who are unfamiliar with the Game of Thrones series to understand. However, for someone who has read the books or watched the show, the series is a real treat and a great expansion of a new House.

The game extends over six episodes, with five major choices in each episode. The choices do have an important impact on the game itself, but ultimately, they don't change the ending: No matter what selections you make, the end result of the game is the same.
