Feb 6, 2015Poignant, epic, mournful. Telltale is without peer in terms of emotionally impactful storytelling.
-
Feb 5, 2015Telltale's nuanced characters are the reason that, as the Forresters mourn their lost lords, you feel right there, standing alongside them. I almost don't want to return to a TV Westeros, where these stalwart Stark bannermen don't exist.
-
Feb 4, 2015The very first episode of Game of Thrones was already a positive surprise and the The Lost Lords drags you further in. It's a great piece of content and decent craftsmanship.
-
Feb 3, 2015Episode 2 affirms my confidence in Telltale's ability to respect the source material.
-
Feb 3, 2015I’m still waiting for things to kick into high gear and truly take hold of me, but chapter two of House Forrester’s tale leaves me in no doubt that such a moment is coming.
-
Mar 1, 2015In the end, episode 2 is a more dialogue-heavy entry compared to the first, but it’s also a much stronger episode for it.
-
Feb 9, 2015The plot is getting more intriguing by the second and the feud between the Forresters and the Whitehills makes for good drama.
-
Feb 4, 2015Although it lacks some action, this episode is a key narrative pillar for those to come, and more proof of how good Telltale is at creating unforgettable situations.
-
Feb 4, 2015A typical in-between episode, with the usual dramatic atmosphere. No dragons yet, unfortunately, but somehow we'll deal with it.
-
Feb 3, 2015If you like Game of Thrones, “The Lost Lords” is solid, and expected given the ebb and flow of the show it follows. If you don’t, on top of thanking you for bearing with this so far, I would advise you to watch the show first, and then go back to Episode 1.
-
Feb 3, 2015Episode 2: The Lost Lords represents a significant improvement in both the writing and production departments at Telltale.
-
Feb 3, 2015The Lost Lords offers no respite from the anguish of Iron from Ice, and keeps the energy and intrigue up in surprising ways.
-
Feb 6, 2015This new Game Of Thrones episode has a slow narrative that invites us to explore more of Forrester family, and prepares us for the action to come in the following chapters.
-
Feb 4, 2015Seriously? Two months wait for two hours of game time? C’mon Telltale, don’t get cheap. And while they don’t take any risks in term of mechanics the storytelling, the pacing and the characterization are top notch.
-
Feb 4, 2015It lacks some of the most intense moments in the first episode and at the same time it feels like a introduction, again. The story remains promising but we hope some major developments arise in the third episode.
-
Feb 2, 2015Personally, I think that Telltale's designers are spreading themselves too thin by including four main characters, each in a different setting, each with a different goal. Since they devote the same amount of time to each character, it ends up feeling as if very little is accomplished by any of them.
-
Mar 18, 2015Telltale's sophomore episode frontloads all of its secrets at the start of its 120-minute adventure. While this means it starts off strongly, things peter out toward into an uninteresting holding pattern. No big reveals, no surprise ending, and no power moves were made to advance the plot.
-
Feb 6, 2015It's an interesting second chapter, and somehow it feels like the true opening of the story. The narrative finally meets Martin's true style, and that could make for some interesting twist and turns in the upcoming episodes.
-
Feb 5, 2015Game of Thrones: Episode 2 - The Lost Lords is like the first episode in that it feels like a prologue to something bigger.
-
Feb 3, 2015While Cersei and Ramsay's omission is felt and backdrops still haven't improved on episode one, the story remains strong and Castle Black sticks out as a big highlight for Game of Thrones fans.
-
Feb 9, 2015Feels like the start of a new season of GoT - in the bad sense, that is. Too many introductions, too little development. A bridge to something greater, but incapable of standing on its own.
-
Feb 16, 2015What remains to be seen is whether there is such thing as a redemptive arc in Game of Thrones, or if feebly limping out of a string of unfair compromises is truly as “good” of an ending as Westeros has to offer.
-
Feb 26, 2015By keeping the superb musical score and the interesting characters of the first episode, Telltale tried to hide the slower pacing and the fact that The Lost Lords is quite short.
-
Feb 11, 2015The plot is thickening. Hopefully the pacing will adjust to match in coming installments.
-
Feb 5, 2015The Lost Lords continues the fantastic story that began in Episode 1, but offers little to those seeking more than just small movement forward. The disparate storylines water down the experience, but new elements add enough to make the journey worthwhile.
-
Feb 5, 2015Lost Lords carries the torch from Iron from Ice—no more, no less.
-
Feb 5, 2015Episode two of Telltale’s Game of Thrones concerns itself with maneuvering pieces into position and foreshadowing greater conflict. It’s a robust foundational episode, shoring up Forrester character development for future pay-offs (and inevitable tragedy.)
-
Feb 4, 2015Game of Thrones Episode 2: The Lost Lords is a decent entry in Telltale's series, and while it takes the story to interesting directions, it still doesn't really pull off the whole presentation and still suffers from shoddy choices and poor visuals.
-
Feb 4, 2015Still pleasant in terms of presentation, The Lost Lords is a good addition to the first episode. Maybe we could have been more pleased if more events or decisions had come to shock us. But every step makes us think that the next chapters won't be as "calm" as this one.
-
Feb 3, 2015While the story of these likable new characters continues after the shocking events of the premiere, the second episode makes it feel like a false start by neglecting to advance the plot in interesting ways.
-
Feb 8, 2015Finally we have Rodrick, who alone keeps the hearth of the story pumping. Gared and Mira just slow down the rhythm and have no defined personalities. Nevertheless, at the end of The Lost Lords we want vengeance bad enough to be waiting for the next episode. And the return of Asher.
-
Feb 10, 2015Bad graphics, unsatisfactory story and technical issues... Not this time Telltale.
-
Feb 24, 2015The notorious calm before a storm: the second episode of Game of Thrones is calmer than the opening, but it grows stronger towards the end. The third episode could finally be the perfect peculiar game, which the G. R. R. Martin’s work deserves.
-
Feb 3, 2015It does not stand out. It is not exactly filler, but it does feel like it exists almost entirely as exposition, putting the pieces into place for all of the really exciting stuff to happen in a future episode.
-
Feb 6, 2015Another uninspiring episode of nothing but filler and hopes for the future, although that’s as much a criticism of episodic content as it is the game itself.
