    Even when a Telltale season is good overall, they never manage to get through a whole season without a hugely disappointing outlier (for example, episode 4 in the Wolf Among Us). Nest of Vipers falls well short of the expectations set by the previous four episodes. It's the shortest episode by far: the last four trophies will pop every five minutes. Literally.

The whole thing feels improvised and hastily cobbled together. Most of the conversational depth and texture is missing.

    Of course, I have to see how it all ends in episode 6, but they did a lot of damage here.    … Expand

    A brief episode asking no highlights. The story is weak and de-energized.
    It seems as if it was too much for Telltale Games. Hopefully the new Boarder Lands episode gets better.

    A Nest of Vipers must be the shortest of the episodes we've seen so far, but it is probably the best one. And at the same time it sets the mood for an epic epilogue.

    Game of Thrones is the only Telltale saga since The Walking Dead that you don't want to miss. Hours of impossible choices and grief await you in the first five episodes. From the way things look so far, the ending can only be a terrifying doomsday.

    One half is just a stuffing, the other half is a very successful overture to the final episode. Next time it could be great.
