    Yeah it is true, this is nearly just an episode or a movie, there is not much of a game in it.
    But everyone who played a Telltale Game should know that. That is not a reason to downvote this.
    Because the episode itself has a few pretty epic moments, the story is starting to get pretty great. I can recommend this to every Game of Thrones- or Telltale-Fan. I would give this an 8,5/10,    Yeah it is true, this is nearly just an episode or a movie, there is not much of a game in it.

    FINALLY forward progress. The stories get more complex and interesting and if they can sort out the issues with the Ironrath storyline, Game of Thrones will be the best Telltale game series yet.

    It was a good episode with interesting decisions. This game definitely makes you think. It definitely made me want to play more at the end of the episode. Episodes 2 and 3 are a slight step up from episode 1, although episode 1 was good too.

    Como siempre las historias de los juegos de Telltale Games son perfectas, esta bien ambientada en la serie-libros. Las decisiones no cambian nada de la historia como siempre pero con que me estén contando esta historia estoy satisfecho.

    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.
