    I preordered this game as I own all the previous games by TellTales and I know just how great they are. My confidence in the preorder was not let down when I played GoT. The game definitely has the same shock and awe factor as the TV series, (I haven't read the books so I can't make a comparison to that). The video game adaptation is also beautiful and retains the whole GoT atmosphere. TheI preordered this game as I own all the previous games by TellTales and I know just how great they are.

The video game adaptation is also beautiful and retains the whole GoT atmosphere. The decisions you make seem to matter a little; however the end of Episode 1 remains unchanged no matter what you did. Perhaps TellTale is trying to keep the story in line with the books? I guess we will see in the upcoming episodes. Overall, I heavily recommend this game. If you love Game of Thrones, you will love this! +1 for the GoT theme within the game!… Expand

    Telltale makes some amazing stories and this is a grate way to get your game of thrones fix. Its worth it, please dont spoil yourselves by watching it on youtube. I hope this will be a very very long series.

    I knew Walking Dead was good but there rasing the bar.

    I never played a game like this before, it completely draws you into an amazing storyline. To be honest I didn’t even knew what ‘tell-tale games’ were all about.

About the game, the characters are displayed brilliantly and have interesting storylines. 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. To say I had fun playing this game is an understatement, 10 out of 10!… Expand

    TellTale has done a wonderful job with the Game of Thrones IP. Graphical issues aside, the story really drew me in and I cannot wait for the rest of the episodes to be released to continue the characters adventures in Westeros.

    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.

    Much has been said about the illusion of choice in this series. I have to ask: what exactly do people expect?

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.

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?

    Good luck.    … Expand

While some may say the ending isn't satisfying I would say that it's a perfect setup for a second season, if they don't decide to carry it on, which would be completely ridiculous and stupid due to how much they set it up for one, then if an open ending bothers you don't buy it but if you're okay with it then definitely buy this game.

    MIRA'S ENDING = 8/10,
    loved the skeeming in Kings Landing, the betreyal, forming aliences, breaking promises and even though the ending was ineviteble, that is what the game of thrones is about - you either win or you die
    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    MIRA'S ENDING = 8/10,
    loved the skeeming in Kings Landing, the betreyal, forming aliences, breaking promises and even though the ending was ineviteble, that is what the game of thrones is about - you either win or you die
    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
    the North Grove had the potential to be something new and epic but just left much to be desired    … Expand

    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:
    Graphics
    Your choices don't matter much in the end of every episode.

    Telltales Game Of Thrones series may have not looked as well as many other games today but for the last couple years I've been playing Telltale games I have really come to appreciate there artistic take to the visual styles of there games, IT feels like you in a story to me and that's what I want from a game like that

    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

    A completely stressing and depressing story from Telltale, yet this game is a disappointing collection of seemingly nail-biting choices that does not come close to having any significant impact in the storyline, which ends in an utter cliffhanger.

    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.
