    This is not how you end a season.
    While the whole game wasnt really all that interesting to me (although I'm a huge fan of the A Song Of Ice And Fire saga), the final episode was especially lackluster. There was no closure to the majority of characters and it was a painfully obvious setup for their next season, which will most likely be a cheap cash-crab after this introduction.

    I dont get how they can release something like this, after Tales From The Borderlands had such an epic and fantastic final.
    Skip this one and play Tales From The Borderlands instead.    … Expand

    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,

    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    … Expand

    Why the hell are so many story driven games having trouble telling a complete story anymore? The Game of Thrones tone is still there but it ends at what feels like the mid season point should be. Many of the plot lines pretty much go nowhere. Actually I take that back, considering the world and how the one interesting plot ends pretty much none of the plots go anywhere.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrr why do games I really want to just like, enjoy, appreciate and recommend to my friends keep disappointing me? First Life is Strange and now this.

    At least we still have Tales From the Borderlands, though.    … Expand

    I have to say that it wasn't worth the wait.
    My first problem with it is that decisions don't really matter much. A cut scene changes here and there, a few dialogs and that is it.
    My second problem: I don't understand why Telltale made 6 episodes if we don't get any closure in the end. A few MCs died and the ones who didn't, well we left them in the middle of the action. The last episode    I have to say that it wasn't worth the wait.

The last episode should have concluded the season and not leaving the players in the middle of nowhere.
    Overall, the game has some nice moments in the course of the previous episodes but after the last one this whole journey feels pointless.

    In my opinion, Telltale"s best game is still the first season of "The walking dead". It feels like they are going one step forward and two steps back. Players have to wait a lot between episodes and they are not really of the quality that would justify the wait.    … Expand

    Failing to actually tell a full story, this season as a whole is a disappointment due to the last 2 episodes. The finale felt rushed and when looking at Tales From The Borderlands, this is just plain dull.

    If you aren't bored with these games yet; I gotta give it to you -- you are a true fan of Game of Thrones. The story feels like it makes very little if any progress, the situations are boring -- the graphics are boring. Bleh.

    And I have to admit, Telltale has finally made me feel like I’m a member of team Forrester.

    The finale is not perfect. The same old combat mechanics favoured by TellTale Games are still there with no variation, but the increased stakes make you fight harder.

    It leaves some unresolved plot points, but it’s still a hard hitting and brutal adventure, that maintains the usual quality level we’ve come to expect from Telltale products.
