    Poignant, epic, mournful. Telltale is without peer in terms of emotionally impactful storytelling.

    Telltale'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.

    The 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.

    Episode 2 affirms my confidence in Telltale's ability to respect the source material.

    I’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.

    In the end, episode 2 is a more dialogue-heavy entry compared to the first, but it’s also a much stronger episode for it.

    The plot is getting more intriguing by the second and the feud between the Forresters and the Whitehills makes for good drama.

    Although 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.

    A typical in-between episode, with the usual dramatic atmosphere. No dragons yet, unfortunately, but somehow we'll deal with it.

    If 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.

    Episode 2: The Lost Lords represents a significant improvement in both the writing and production departments at Telltale.

    The Lost Lords offers no respite from the anguish of Iron from Ice, and keeps the energy and intrigue up in surprising ways.

    This 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.

    Seriously? 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.

    It 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.

    Personally, 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.

    Telltale'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.

    It'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.

    Game of Thrones: Episode 2 - The Lost Lords is like the first episode in that it feels like a prologue to something bigger.

    While 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.

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 »
