    I enjoyed this a LOT. There are some graphics issues (but I actually liked the 'painted' effect on the whole), and there are one or two issues with plot holes - but these are seriously nothing major.

    The series completely sucked me in with a great plot about two feuding Northern families, some very well disguised twists, and some excellent characters. There are some completely heart-wrenching decisions to be made - some where you really have to decide just how far you will go for House Forrester.

    I found the glitches to be nowhere near as bad as described in previous reviews. In one or two instances, the frame-rate dropped... that was about it for me.

    I thought the inclusion of the 'real' characters was excellently done, and none of it seemed only for 'fan service', it all felt natural to me.

    I would also disagree with people who found the characters hard to relate with. I thought that Asher, Rodrick, Myra and even to some extent Gared were all very relatable, and I, for one, can't wait to find out what happens next.

    In the Game of Thrones you win or you die, and I'll be playing season two to WIN.    … Expand

This game, had impressive, detail, to the book and show, and the story was immense, yes, the North Grove was actually explained!! To all you dim wits out there!

    Very slow-paced and full of technical hiccups, but still an enjoyable (and bloody) side-story in the GoT universe. Out of all the Telltale games, this one is somewhere in the middle, as far as quality is concerned: far from the best they've done, but also far from the worst.

    Telltale Games are doing a really good job with creating these games, and this is on of their best.

    Fun game, really great story, catches the Game of Thrones universe pretty well.    … Expand

    This is less of a game and more of a story. My advice is simple, sit back and enjoy the story. You may not have a lot of influence in the ending but to me the story is good enough to enjoy regardless.

    This is definitely for Game of Thrones fans who wish to go beyond the TV Series. I enjoyed the story as for the most part it stays true to the GoT world. As for someone who has never seen the show before, they will have huge problems getting into the game.

    There's nothing much to say about the gameplay as there isn't any.This is an interactive episodic series.
    The question is: Is it worth it?
    And my answer is....yesss...and no.

    If you love Game of Thrones and you don't care much about the graphics and all that, then I highly recommend this.
    If you have never seen Game of Thrones, if you expect gameplay or if you think your decisions will have a big impact, then you're better set by watching a playthrough of it.

    + Stays true to the Game of Thrones world.
    + The actors from the TV Show voice act their own characters in the game.
    + It does have some really interesting and intense moments worth watching or playing.

    - Bad graphics at times.
    - There's a lot of illusion of choice but this can be quite irrelevant. It's the experience that matters.

    Again, if you like Game of Thrones, then definitely check it out.    … Expand

    From Iron and Ice!
    As a game of thrones fan, tell tale games fan and gamer, this was a no brainer, i had to play this!!
    Basically its a side story from the main GoT story and im sure they are so many more of these ones. Lots of difficult decisions, interesting plots and good characters, its always welcome to have this expanded content of a favourite story such as GOT. i found myself    From Iron and Ice!

    Hope for season 2!!    … Expand

    What Kind of Adventure?

    Graphic Adventure Was it fun? I don’t think I can say enough positive things about this game. I enjoyed every second of it. Its not really playing a game, its more like watching where you can control what happens and some of the dialog. Are there any similar games? This is my first telltale game but I think they’re pretty much all the same.    What Kind of Adventure?

    Graphic Adventure

    Was it fun?

    I don’t think I can say enough positive things about this game. I enjoyed every second of it. Its not really playing a game, its more like watching where you can control what happens and some of the dialog.

    Are there any similar games?

    This is my first telltale game but I think they’re pretty much all the same.

    Favorite Character?

    Asher-He was a sarcastic **** who got **** done. He was a very enjoyable character to play as.

    Would you play it again?

    Yes, as a matter of fact. I am playing it again right. Well right now, I am not playing it again but I am watching my friends play for the first time and as much fun watching them play.

    Any Complaints?

    None for me. I could see where people would complain about the game. I get the feeling that your decisions don’t effect the game as much as people would like. Some people would want every decision to completely alter the game and give them a different ending but that’s just not practical.    … Expand

    Game Of Thrones is a game that makes us suffer together with the characters, with each loss we feel stabbed, not to mention that we have a really involving story!

    Only Telltale game I've actually played through fully - other ones became unplayable or I wasn't that into them. As a Thrones fan, I found this to be great. Thought it was very engaging. As far as I could tell it seemed like my decisions were having an effect, whether they ultimately did or not - the illusion worked. I thought the story was quite good and really captured the vibe of the show.

    I won’t give another Telltale game two pages in our magazine again, until they’ve cleaned up their shit and made some actual technical improvements. The world keeps turning, please try to keep up. [feb. 2016 / page 061]

    Game of Thrones copies the well the world and spirit of its source material, however the story and characters don’t achieve the same levels. [Dec 2015]

    The story rarely establishes itself as anything more than big budget fan fiction.
