    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
    PS: play Life is strange and you see how much telltale is obsolete in their own genre :(    … Expand

    horrible. besides of being poor, cheap fantasy of fifteen old boy , who suffers from depression and suppressed sexually and luck of self identification, this movie is all about enjoying humiliating, sadism and uncessary nudity. Horrible attempts to make it look "historical " looking by making beautiful but meaningless decorations do not help. It is parasiting on Medieval history by makinghorrible. besides of being poor, cheap fantasy of fifteen old boy , who suffers from depression and suppressed sexually and luck of self identification, this movie is all about enjoying humiliating, sadism and uncessary nudity.

    Presented to you by Telltale. A game where YOUR choices DOES NOT matter at all.
    Good job making me feel playing the game was pointless .

    It is impossible to enjoy the game, no matter how good the story is, the mouse controls and the graphics are very laggy. After playing "the wolf among us" i had hoped the interface would be similar but this is not the case, instead of the 4 somewhat distant option squares you get a list, so when you need to choose dialog it is easier to make a mistake especially with the mouse problemsIt is impossible to enjoy the game, no matter how good the story is, the mouse controls and the graphics are very laggy.

    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

    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.
