    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far the worst product so far by Telltale Games. This is bad both as a game, and as a Game of Thrones adaption.

    The good things first. Graphics are mostly OK, voice acting is very good.

    The bad things. This ordeal misses the whole point of "choose your own adventure" games, and also makes a complete mess of a glorious opportunity with GoT. The world of Game of Thrones would be a perfect setting for plotting, intrigue, schemes both grand and small; a place where your choices could really count and result in either small victories or horrible calamities. What do we get instead? 6 episodes where you do not get to make a SINGLE decision that would affect the outcome ot things even in the slightest.

    And not only that, the plot lacks all dynamics. There are no highs and lows, there are no funny moments, there is not even sex that is so abundant in both the books and the TV show, balancing the gore and horrors in both. At several points there is no logic behind what happens. There are only bad things happening to you in a steady flow, with no other options available than to sit and watch, apart from annoying quick-time events that you have to react to in order to keep the "fun" going. And, incredibly, at the end there is not even a resolution to the events of the season.

    All in all, this series amounts to a stunningly bad gaming experience. I feel cheated and would like my money and 10 hours back.    … Expand

    Telltale's Game of Thrones is a six part episodic game series where you play as an insignificantly small house in the Game of Thrones setting.

    The story starts strong, but devolves into a poorly written mess, chock-full of plot holes and inconsistencies. It would feel more in place in The Walking Dead than in Game of Thrones: the core cast is small, there's no character growth, and main characters are randomly killed off for pure shock value. There's hardly any scheming, all you do is try to survive the immediate threats. This series also lacks the dark humor that GoT is known for: everyone is always deadly serious, and many characters only have a single facial expression: worried frown.

    There's no replay value, because your choices matter far less than in most Telltale games. The events play out exactly the same even if you choose to stay silent, and illusion of choice is more obvious than ever. Except for one big choice in chapter one and a few more in the last two chapters, most of your choices change no more than a couple of immediate lines of dialogue.

    And this isn't even a complete game. Telltale signed a deal for three seasons of this. There's no ending beyond 'buy the next season to find out what happens to the few characters that we didn't kill off already'.    … Expand

    While still enjoyable, and certainly worth the price if on sale Game of Thrones is without a doubt the weakest of Telltale's most recent efforts, sitting comfortably behind The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us.

I would also like to point out this is the first time I've been able to put down a Telltale game for long periods, I finished episode 6 two weeks after episode 5 when I usually knock out an episode a day back to back due to being engrossed. Take from that what you will.

    Telltale have changed their usual format with Game of Thrones, you don't play the role of one person, you play many and I feel this hurt the immersion, I didn't feel truly connected to any of the characters as you are swapped between them so regularly, although some were definitely more likeable than others. I guess it makes sense, and follows the format of the TV show but still, I don't think it translated very well into the game.

    Another big complaint I have was the bizarre choice of graphical filters and effects used throughout the game, all edges appear blurred and jagged regardless of settings and there's no way to correct this as it's an artistic choice made by the devs (supposedly to make it look like an oil painting), one that completely butchers the visual fidelity. At first I thought something was simply wrong with my game, but after researching further I discovered this is 100% intended and I couldn't disagree more with the overall aesthetic of the game. Telltale aren't known for their technical prowess, but at least their games usually look clean, and that's just not the case with Game of Thrones, the overall look reminds me of playing a game at a non native resolution. The technical issues didn't stop there either, the game crashed to desktop many times when first starting the game, sometimes taking 3 - 4 attempts before it would open correctly, thankfully this never happened during gameplay. I would just like to point out this has never been an issue with any other Telltale game and I'm certainly not alone, many people have reported the exact same issue with no solution. On top of these extra problems the usual Telltale engine issues are of course present, so don't expect any improvements on that front.

    While this review may seem negative I would still recommend it, it's definitely the weakest, recent Telltale offering but it's still a solid game, especially at 66% off and if you enjoyed their recent work you will most likely enjoy it as well, but I'd be surprised if you don't feel the lack of Telltale magic because it's just not there, or at least it's spread too thin.    … Expand

    Nowhere near as good as The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones Season One still delivers a decent story with a typically tragic conclusion, true to its source material.

    Cons:
    - Your dialogue choices DO NOT MATTER a great deal. Compared to choices in games like Witcher, this one doesn't come close.
    - Script has been DUMBED DOWN for a younger audience (despite still being 18+). It is not as eloquent or complex as the tv series.
    - Music feels AWKWARD, it is not the licenced GoT music, and is NOT GREAT.
    - The graphics were RUSHED in places.
    - Some elements of the game - even the startup menu - are 'JUDDERY' when they load - for example the music CUTTING out and changing volume on load. These elements feel UNPOLISHED.
    - Some characters react to your choices in NON-SENSICAL manner - especially if the dialogue or plot continues on the SAME PATH REGARDLESS of any choices you make. Sometimes the dialogue options essentially mean the SAME THING, and yield the EXACT SAME RESPONSE from a character.

    Some dialogue is INSANELY BAD, for example (NO SPOILERS DON'T WORRY):
    *in conversation with Margerie*
    - Margerie asks your character to do as Cercei says and to agree with everything Cersei says, in order for you and Margerie to feign loyalty to the King.
    - During said conversation, you side with Cercei and agree with everything she says, JUST LIKE MARGERIE ASKED you to.
    - After said conversation, Margerie HAS A GO AT YOU for siding with Cersei and says how disloyal you are to her.

    ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME
    AND THIS HAPPENS LOTS

    The game is relentlessly PUNISHING the player for making devious and intruiging dialogue choices, and yet this is what GoT SHOULD BE REWARDING.

    - Bugs. Running a HIGH END SYSTEM and NEVER have problems with games, but the bugs are there and support is hard to come by on the developer's website. Had to REINSTALL the game once for a COMMON PROBLEM where the START MENU DOES NOT APPEAR.

    To clarify - this reviewer is a fan of the Walking Dead Telltale series and a huge fan of Game of Thrones. With this installment of games Telltale has hit a wall, LARGER THAN 'THE WALL' ITSELF.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Considering you play telltale games largely for the plot you'd have thought telltale would put the most amount of effort into that area. Obviously not. Telltale thinks "shock" writing = good writing, which is definitely not the case. Having the bad guys ALWAYS win, regardless of your own personal choices, is bad writing plain and simple. Having a majority of your characters butchered regardless of your ingame choices is also bad writing.
    It got to a point with choices where I was like "f*ck it, who cares what I pick, my characters probably going to die anyway".
    The final episode was so open ended and weak I found myself having literally no investment in the outcomes of the game.

    Overall just extremely disappointing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion, this is the worst Telltale game that I have played (started with TWD S1). This is the game where your choices matter the least, where the plot moves in directions for no logical reason other than to "shock" the player. I will say that the feel of the world and characters very much makes me believe it is set in the ASOIF/GoT world which is fantastic. However the game suffers from typical telltale issues such as terrible animations, poor texture quality, missing sound effects, and a heavy overused of quick time events. However, my biggest problem with this game is that it makes the same cardinal sin that the GoT TV show has been making the past few seasons. It makes the "bad guys" win because that's what they think is supposed to happen. There is no hope for the player, I can only think of one good thing that happens throughout the entire 6 episode seasons and that good thing is immediately wiped out the very next episode. There is nothing to cheer for and no matter what you do you will still lose everything. This is not what the book series is like at all. There is always hope, always something good that is happening or is going to happen that you can look forward to. This game has nothing but failure. The ending doesn't wrap up any of the loose ends and it doesn't hint on anything good to happen in the heavily implied second season. Nobody wants to play a game where they constantly lose and are shown how they've messed up but they can't do anything about it. It's not fun. It's not a good game. nothing feels natural about the story and the bad guys just get advantages because they are the bad guys and that's how it's supposed to be for this game and the TV show. If you're a huge fan of the show and haven't read the books then maybe you'll enjoy it. If you're a fan of the books and aren't happy with the direction the show has been taking then i highly doubt you'll like this. Telltale games have grown stale and this is yet another example of the dying formula.… Expand

The 'finale' is the final nail in the coffin as it abruptly ends without conclusion to any plotlines, which sets up for a 'season two'.

    This game is undoubtingly weaker, MUCH weaker than the TV series. The story is weak, most of the characters are bland and boring. Graphically this game feels and looks much worse, than "The Wolf Among Us" and "The Walking Dead", sometimes to the point of looking pretty awful.

    It's as if the developers watched an entirely different Game of Thrones than I did. One where everything was set in stone, with mind-numbingly unbelievably corny and hyper-unrealistic personae and where there was no ultimate progression except the high-profile deaths. The one I watched had dynamic and believable character development, mobility as well as diverse types of stories and interactions.

    This "game" on the other hand, offers only misery in seemingly endless proportion. The family viewpoint I'm afraid is exactly to blame for that, resulting in the only tolerable way to get through the ordeal being to detach yourself as much as you possibly can. At the end I even resorted to muting the damn thing just to get it over with. And yes, I did (somehow) manage to play episodes 1-4.

    Now, that's what you're "getting" from this game, in terms of emotional palette. It's so **** black and white.

    In terms of game features, well I did give it a 4 overall...which simply means it isn't (technically) unplayable and it does have tolerable graphics and smooth performance.

    Now we get to the point of gameplay, of which there is actually none. It's a bunch of stupid QTE events (I learned from the first time the big Q came around I couldn't physically press it fast enough to actually do any of them, so I had to **** make a macro turned on permanently just to get through that BS) spiced with various assortments of clunky-robot strafing and panning around. To top it all off, some genius thought it'd be a brilliant idea if you had to be ready both on QTEDR(?!?), the arrows keys AND the **** mouse (aim and click). I guess the new Jurassic Park wasn't that far off, we really can quite easily manipulate animal genes (like Octopuses, for example).

    The whole experience felt like being imprisoned inside someone else's mind, only ever being allowed to see their thoughts. In other words: Mental torture.

    If you want a good story-driven and choice-driven e-novel, I suggest you check out Tin Star (or similar). It's totally non-pretentious and all-text, but at least it does a damn good job of that. Here your choices will matter (a lot!), and you get to make them instead of the game either not caring or basically forcing you to pick one "right" choice.

    If you want a Game of Thrones game, there really isn't a good official one. Instead, go pick up the mods for CKII and M&B:WB - they have everything: Freedom, engaging dynamic story and authentic lore.    … Expand

You often get three dialogue options to pick from, but they all point towards the same end, and so in the end it doesn't matter what you choose.

    If it wasnt for those half baked QTS which can kill you you could just sit back and watch the "game" play it self and damm would it be a good movie to watch but thats it, theres nothing more apart from a good story which makes you feel important but really your just a spectator in this buggy mess of a game which is not calling it self early acces even though you know deep down there no bloody difference between episodic and EA.
    Buggy, old engine, barely a game which pretends you control its glorious story.
    9/10 for story the rest gets bare 2/10 over all 4/10

Furthermore they are connected brilliantly to the main characters and story we all know from the TV-series (and books). Especially if you are already a fan of Game of Thrones you should not hesitate about getting this game, as it is quite affordable (only €28 euro on Steam for all six episodes!). Some say it doesn’t matter what choices you make in the game. This is partly true, but only for the first season. Without giving away a lot of spoilers I can say that every decision you make in season one can bounce back on you in the second season of this tell-tale game series. Also the complaints about getting no achievements in this game (for Steam users) are completely biased, why should one play a tell-tale game series for the sole purpose of getting an achievement? I mean you can’t be a pro in this GoT tell-tale series, either you choose for war or diplomacy, which one you choose usually doesn’t matter as with GoT death lurks around every corner! The graphics of this game are not extremely brilliant, but the style in which this game is made is brilliant! It looks like a living painting of the Renaissance! Not to mention the voice acting, which is quite convincing and the actual voices of the GoT actors are also used in this game, which for a game of thrones fan, is pretty neat.

    I have played all 5 of the Tell Tale games. I find they really are able to grab the theme of the different series very well. This game had some of the most brutal choices I've seen in any of their games, and they did a great job using 2 smaller houses to tell a story, while still having some Major characters from the world still be part of the experience.

    It keeps all the atmosphere of the original series and the Forresters are an interesting family. The game's story-line fits perfectly with the TV series and believe you me when I say you will hate Ramsay Bolton even more!

    The one thing missing: the sexiness of the TV show. Seduction can be a powerful weapon and here is almost non- existant.

If the stats at the end of each episode are any indication, there are five major "choices" during the episode. If each choice creates a distinct branch in the story, that means the developers have to create ten different paths for just the first episode. Take five distinct choices in the second episode and you now have 100 branches. By the sixth episode the developers would have to create 100,000 different story branches! Just in the first season! While there could be some overlap, they'd have to track and trace all those paths to make sure there's no inconsistency. An impossible task.

    Where this game shines isn't in branching story paths; that would be impossible to pull off on a large-scale basis. Where it excels is in that your choices affect how different characters feel about you, and that when those few major divergences come up, the way the various characters feel about you can have an effect.

    This game feels authentically Game of Thrones. It's not predictable. It puts you in impossible situations with no outs. It'll beat you up, then kick you while your down. But through it all you'll have the desire to keep fighting...because you care about the Forresters. And you want revenge on those who wronged them.

    Will you be defiant, even if it puts you at risk?
    Will you bow and scrape hoping for a few table scraps?
    Will you fight for what's right, or be ruthless to succeed?
    Can you outmaneuver your rivals?
    Can you see the twists coming and prevent a horrible outcome?

    although I am really sorry for Mira - even though it she had the least action packed story line, it was by far my seconned favorite - fighting with words and clevernes of your character, since she is dead I am pissed that unique aspect will be missed from season 2

    Rodric/Asher ending = 7/10
    The storyline of Asher Forrester was by far my favorite - a sharp, funny rogue with a strong sword arm yet a silver tongue as well, again as with Mira he had a unique aspect in that he was in a diffrent continent other then Westeros giving us something fresh and new
    Although the ending seemed TOO MUCH like the saying "it never rains, but it ours", it still made me feel like I did what I could and what I had too
    EXCEPT the for the ambush/poison part
    No wonder the ambush or poison plan went to **** - they killed a GUST under their roof, the one crime the Old Gods can't forgive - it may seem like a minor nuisence considering what the White Hills have done but in the world of Ice and Fire, or game of thrones if you have not read the books, its a **** big deal to kill a guest in your house - the ultimite discrase and show of betrayel, it's like spitting honor in the face

    GARED'S ENDING = 7/10
    although it was cool to take a look beyond the wall, all the segments felt so wasted, we haven't seen anything new really or experienced the harshness of the enviroment and the winter except for your friends whining they are running out of food - weak immersion
    The North Grove was so easy to find, I don't know how anyone could think it was a myth
    they literaly saw it from miles away and went through a 10 meters of cave
    the North Grove itself is a big disapointement as well - no explanation about it's significance is given - the J-something girl tells you that it gives her the power to control her warriors yet after that uses blood magic to control them - what?
    also there is just like 20 of those guys so yeah - pretty ****ty army
    it's amazing that they are fearless and will fight and die without even a flinch or whine but **** me they will still can still die - eventhough each of them could easily take on 3-5 men they are still strongly outnumbered
    and what about the plot hole when they die - the power of the grow or the blood magic or whatever is useless cause you got no one to control
    the North Grove is one big plot hole staying or going south wont change anything - if you stay, the whights will overpower you eventually since while your men die their numbers grow, so youre dead
    - if you go, 20 berserks and a bear wont change anything
    esencially the North Grove storyline leaves more questions and more plot holes then any other and yet it was still fun to play

    I don't know what they are planning for season 2 but it better finish all the loose ends and make it over
    with because there is no more story to be gained here.
    the Forresters either die off or there will be some miraculous help that gets them from under the shadow of doom - but more then one more season would be stretching it

    overall - this game didn't give us anything new just let us experience the world of Ice and fire for ourselves

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game should not be viewed as a game but rather as 6 extra episodes of the TV series with some low level interaction.

    So I wouldn't recommend buying/playing it if you just want a game. If you like the series or books I believe you will find it enjoyable and to some extent interesting in the sense that you will be given some tough choices, especially if you get attached to some characters (as with the books I would not recommend this based on the number of deaths...).

    The actual gameplay consists of making dialogue choices and some low level fighting which is dumbed down so it can be done on a tablet. I really believe there is little need for this fighting scenes as it is very easy and seems both stupid and unrealistic. The politics bit is nice but in general it doesn't matter that much. I would have much preferred if your choices could impact the outcomes and only converge to one same final outcome after episode 6 rather than converging within each episode but that is wishful thinking. I found awesome that they gave the statistics of the major choices people made, it gives an interesting view of people's psychology and decision making.

    All in all if you have read the first 3 books and/or watched first 3 seasons I would recommend this, else I believe you are better of reading the books, watching the series first and if you are looking for a game for the sake of the game, look elsewhere.

    Good:
    Storyline
    Real Characters true to their books/show personality.
    Major choices stats.
    Politics system in terms of choice.

    Mediocre:

    Now speaking of story this series held up for the most part and most deaths felt meaningful furthered the plot, but others not so much and I was pretty disappointed in some of the deaths I felt as if they didn't really know how to handle the situation right and just went with it but that is up to the player to decide on that.

    The sound design is spot on in this game, every fight every " OHH **** Moment fit perfectly with the score. The voice acting was also spot on in my opinion with keeping to the show and bringing in the voice actors from the HBO series was awesome it made the immersion even better.

    Now on the gameplay side it's what you have come to expect from a Telltale game it's mostly QuickTime events which isn't a bad thing per say I just would of wished for something different for this game but it didn't take away from my overall experience of the game but again that's up to the player if you don't like the controls of the walking dead you won't like these

    Overall I think Telltale created something really special here with fantastic character development excellent sound. It may not be anyone's game of the year but it certainly is enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone who really enjoys game of thrones as much as I do.    … Expand

    The art direction is pretty and hearing and "seeing" the cast is a welcome experience, the whole game is just smoke and mirror. It's true that it's more of a visual novel than a game, your choices don't really matter.

To be honest as a visual novel it's pretty decent, some of the story elements are exciting and the multiple different characters you control splitting the storyline in 4 is a great idea. Overall I can't really judge it as a game, but as an interactive story it's not bad, I had some infuriating and some fun moments with it. It's a light 6 for me.… Expand

    Pros: Good design , familiar characters
    Cons: mediocre plot , not too much variation in the dialogues .
    The best game for ''Game of Thrones'' universe , but not enough better coverage throughout history .

    Game of Thrones the most boring game from Telltale Games of the last years. Plot crazy and boring. And it is a total failure, at developers have been given a free hand, the house Forresterov wasn't mentioned in series, and couple of lines in the fifth book. In what a problem to make the unique history? In general a game problem - the main characters and an event with them connected.

In what a problem to make the unique history? In general a game problem - the main characters and an event with them connected. The house of Foresters is so imperceptible, faded and is disgustingly registered that to it there are no feelings. What contradicts the concept of GOT. Show you 30 minutes of the character and kill him as if have performed routine work.
    Of course graphics in interaktivony cinema not the main thing, but I didn't see so careless work yet. Degradation of textures is executed at such level that even games on PS3 in 2006 can envy. Management of a mouse/gamepad too disgusting. And the main thing - degradation of textures and sensitivity of the mouse/gamepad can't be adjusted in settings. Still the gamepad from Xbox One was connected from the 3rd time.
    The ending is the last nail in a cover of a coffin of this product. This most ridiculous that I saw in the games Telltale. As if authors from Telltale scripted to series Lost. The open final, with an obvious reserve for the second season. Here only to whom he is necessary? If, succession of events begins to slip on the place on the 3rd episode of the first season, and further already you plays by inertia. Telltale obviously rolls down down and marks time, authors became hostages of the ideas.
    PS. A game only for true fans of creations of Telltale Games. It is even better for admirers of Game of Thrones not to watch at these tortures with fine a Universe fantasy.    … Expand

As for the characters, storytelling, choice and development, as in other games of this company, except that she's quite outspoken in terms of fighting, there are a couple of savory moments. The first two episode was not particularly interesting place, but with the third interested and even interesting to follow the story. There are a couple of favorites, but this close and not the characters in the first season of "the walking", but not as zero and faceless in the games of Teyla. The ending made not much admire, frustrating the common cause some emotions that only a plus.

    Сразу стоит отметить, что данная игра самая жуткая в плане графики, настолько сделать небрежно и дело даже не в мыле как часто бывает. Порой кажется что играешь на телефоне или на PS1, хотя иногда и можно узреть более-менее нормальный вид и сделать пару скринов. Что касается персонажей, подачи сюжета, выбора и развития, все как и в других играх данной компании, разве что она довольна откровенная в плане боев, есть пара смачных моментов. Первые два эпизода была не особо интересно проходить, но вот с третьего заинтересовался и даже интересно было следить за историей. Есть парочка фаворитов, но эта и близко не те персонажи что в первом сезоне "ходячих", но и не такие нулевые и безликие как в нынешних играх тейлов. Концовка даже заставила не много восхитится, расстроить в общем вызвать некоторые эмоции что только плюс.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played 3,5 episodes and I can already tell that this game is not as I expected it to be. Obviously I know that it cannot be about the same actions that are happening in books or TV series, because that would be even more boring than it is now. For me this whole House Forrester, characters (of house Forrester) and plot are just boring. And it's even more boring if you watched the TV series first (I did) You for example now, that Ramsay Snow (Bolton) cannot be killed, because the game is build upon TV series, so he cannot die. If you played it and didn't watch TV series, you probably thought, that you will be able to kill him somehow. How sad. Of course the game was released 4 years ago and if you are playing this game in 2018 and you watched the show, you'll feel the same as I do. I don't know the ending to this, but I can already tell, that House Forrester will fall along with House Glenmore. They didn't appear in TV series, they weren't even mentioned, as far as I can remember. I didn't read the books, so I don't know. And obviously the story is crap, choises as in previous telltale games most of the time don't matter. But I actually expected that. You either humiliate yourself or die. It's not that this game is all to bad. It's just that some certain things are breaking her apart. For example I'm happy that this game lets you play a couple of characters instead of one. But the graphics are terrible. The worst graphics I ever encountered during the play of almost every telltale game.… Expand

What you are really doing is watching some extended animated side plots to the TV show of a passable quality (6.5-7.5/10 depending on the episode). It is not as bad as some other reviews make it out to be but you should know what you are getting into and decide if it is something you want to spend time on. I would not play other Telltale games. In fact, I am getting a little tired of short games the are stories (Gone Home, Firewatch, etc.). I am looking for a game. If I was looking for a good story, I can watch TV or a movie.… Expand

I desperately want to experience part 2 of all the stories of TT's GOT. Absolutely not satisfied with the ending(all of them), but still, giving the attention, that this game is heavily critisized and the series is heavily loved, i have to say and to say it out loud, that i'm on the very opposite side of this conflict. If you need something really cool and mature, this game fits much more better than widely popular series for popcorn audience. Big con that every episode is good on itself and complete, it feels not like just part of the story, but it's own cool story that builds bigger story… Expand

    In general, the game is interesting. However, there are problems with the fact that usually dialgochi do not solve anything and, in principle, you seem to be watching an ordinary movie and not playing an interactive movie. However, the story itself is very interesting and touches the events of the series. I liked the game, but it could have been many times better.

    The story starts with a bang (during the Red Wedding) but fails to keep the momentum and ultimately comes nowhere near the breathtaking twists of the original. [01/2016, p.72]

    Game of Thrones will give you some pretty cool moments, especially when you start feeling the weight of your decisions. Overall, there’s a good chance you’ll be disappointed and frustrated with the game, rather than being mesmerized by an epic tale and great characters. You know, great characters really aren’t THAT great, unless we have enough time to know them.

    Telltale’s Game of Thrones is a bad-looking, dumb, predictable drama. It has some powerful moments, but compared to the show and the books, this is nothing more than a farce.
