    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    Not fan of "game's" like this, story is fine but there is almost no actual gameplay and graphics is SO outdated (and poorly ported for PS4), at least "oil paint effect" hurts eyes less than other Telltale games. Also there so many choice options but results are almost same. Without knowledge of TV series may be difficult to understand some plots and characters. For fans rather.

    This game is really only for huge fans of the tv series game of thrones. The gameplay is very lacking and the only real thing to keep your intrigue is the story. That being said, it's a great story that stands its ground when compared to the excellent tv show of the same name.

    Secondly the game is full of slow moments were almost nothing happens and where the discussions doesn't seem to have any importance.

    On the other side each episode also has those high-tension or epic moments. And there is also major changes on the story depending on your choices (my girlfriend and I have don't have the same ending at all) and I'm curious to see how it will continue on Season two, it's the first time the choices matter that much in a TellTale game and that's a good thing. And obviously the Game of Thrones universe, with actors from the actual show actually playing their role was great.

    In conclusion the game has a mixed writing, bad technical qualities, but builds momentum on an expected season and on the whole universe of GoT in general, an experience that may please some but for the moment I'll wait to see the second season to see if they build on this season and improve the global experience or if it stills lack rhythm.    … Expand

    The beginning of this game is compelling and intriguing. I had not played a TellTale game in forever, and I was impressed upon first inspection; however, the game starts to falter as it goes along. The game is worth its asking price, if nothing else, for the easy platinum trophy given out for simply finishing the game.

    Telltale is very competent in telling tales. The "Walking Dead" (both seasons) and "The Wolf Among Us" are incredible examples. So I was expecting some of this quality in the first season of "Game of Thrones".

    Maybe my expectations were too high; but the reality is that, after 6 episodes, the result is kind of 'meh'. I was never too compelled by the characters or the House Forrester as a whole (although there are some great moments when it comes to character development). The cameos were nice; but the plot felt weak, unimportant, almost irrelevant. The story never moved me - like the show brilliantly does - or even Telltale has done with past games. At one point, I just wanted to see it end.

    It's not a bad game. It's just not the best Game of Thrones game Telltale could do. Hopefully the second season will be more interesting. I'm not counting on it, though.    … Expand

    After playing the hilarious Tales from borderlands, solving the mystery in Wolf among us and crying my eyes out in Walking Dead season 1, I was desperate for more Telltale goodness, so I picked up GoT.

    Unfortunately, after playing through the season, I was not impressed. First, let's get something out of the way: if you played a telltale game then you already know the formula: it's not a game, it's an interactive movie. You can shape the conversation as you see fit, and you have some QTE when the actions starts, but in the end it's obvious that due to the development time and limited resources, the game cannot afford to branch the story too much until the last episode of the season.

    The story being somewhat set in stone is fine by me as long as the game maintains the illusion of choice through minor branches: steal a valuable item but be forced to give it back later in 5min, or leave it and be praised for your honesty. Or make a major decision which will not pay off until the very end of the season. GoT, however, fails in that it presents you with seemingly meaningful choices, but then completely forgets about them, which makes you think that this will pay off much later, until the final credits roll and you realize that there was no payoff at all. And that is quite upsetting, because it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. That would still be ok if the story was any good. Alas, the story is not that interesting, and given the death rate of characters, the PC keeps changing, which doesn't help things at all. Overall, still, I found it moderately enjoyable. There are some likable characters, and I played through just to see how it ends (spoiler: it ends on a cliffhanger). Very disappointing.

    TL:DR: unless you are a big GoT fan or desperate for a telltale game like me, steer clear of this mess.    … Expand
