    The story is great, no denying that. But choices? Why have them when some of them - even the important, flagged ones! - hardly seem to matter at all!

    It works for playing trough once - and pretending your choices matter.

    A light recommend IF on sale and IF you aren't sick of the Telltale formula. I checked both boxes lightly and enjoyed the game. I have come to realize that Telltale games are just choose-yur-own adventure books more than "games" in the traditional sense - but I'm ok with that and I enjoy the storytellign and mild interaction and choice.

    The decisions we made on the previous episodes truly shine here, in an episode so well written that is the best so far.

    Painful situations and loads of little decisions: The script manages to weave the tragic family story into the political scene of the Seven Kingdoms.

    The Sword in the Darkness is a good episode thanks to uniformity among the various story lines that had been lacking in The Lost Lords and partly also in the first episode.
