    Feels 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.

    What 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.

    By 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.

    The plot is thickening. Hopefully the pacing will adjust to match in coming installments.

    The 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.

    Lost Lords carries the torch from Iron from Ice—no more, no less.

    Episode 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.)

    Game 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.

    Still 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.

    While 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.

    Finally 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.

    Bad graphics, unsatisfactory story and technical issues... Not this time Telltale.

    The 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.

    It 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.

    Another 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.

I can't wait till episode three. I loved the introduction of the new characters and also the plot of this episode. Story writing is good and it has some important choices. The ending was very heart-touching too and I felt connected with the characters. 8/10.

    Only downside is that the episode is a lil too short for such a long wait.    … Full Review »
