    The Ice Dragon delivers a very engaging ultimate episode packed with tense and dramatic moments, where our choices have a significant impact on the way events unfold. Overall, it’s unquestionably a fitting ending to another successful episodic series from Telltale.

    Telltale drinks from the original source and makes this version of Game of Thrones an ode to cruelty which would make the very Martin proud. A remarkable demonstration of what you can achieve with a good script.

    A great ending to a remarkable series, even if Telltale keeps a close eye on the already announced second season by not actually resolving anything.

    Just as it happens in the HBO series of Game of Thrones, the first season of the game ends with lots of action, tough choices, unexpected situations and a huge cliffhanger for the next season where the path that you took will have consequences.

    Despite a couple of missteps in the narrative, I enjoyed Telltale’s addition to Game of Thrones’ lore. As this episode clearly illustrates, Telltale is quick to swing its sword when it when it comes to character-defining moments.

    This first season doesn't skimp on shocks. [Jan 2016, p.93]

    It’s been a full four months since Episode Five ended on a massive decision that left players reeling. Given Telltale’s past work on the series, it was hard to imagine that Episode Six would actually do right by that decision and manage to wrap the season up in a remotely satisfying way. Sure enough, huge chunks of Episode Six are just as middling as everything else in the season, and on a technical level, it’s even worse.

    Is this an unplayable game? Totally no. But I think I totally lost my interest towards this game and will not purchase 2nd season if thereIs this an unplayable game? Totally no. But I think I totally lost my interest towards this game and will not purchase 2nd season if there will be any. Here is the reason:
    Yes, you are making choices and it has effects to your game-play and scenes. But unfortunately, from the beginning to very end, you did not have any major effect to the consequences. You are just able to change minor details about the flow. At the end of the day,game pushes you to the road it actually designed. I know that all Telltale games have this passive gameplay gap but in this series, game openly cheats within itself to push you to the requested flow of events without any respect to your choices.
    This game is good enough to watch but unfortunately not good enough to play. So it is totally your choice to play it or not.    … Expand

    Episodic games are always tricky to evaluate, since so much of their impact comes from the very end. Therefore, when the decisions made haveEpisodic games are always tricky to evaluate, since so much of their impact comes from the very end. Therefore, when the decisions made have limited impact on the ending, it's disappointing, but at the same time, I still feel like the journey is more important than the destination with these games. However, there are some pretty big issues with the journey here. One of the big selling points of earlier games was that the three major paths (Mira in King's Landing, Gared in the North Grove, and Rodrick/Asher defending their house) would all impact each other. And, well, they don't. At all. Your decisions with both Gared and Mira have absolutely no impact on the main story, and not a lot on their own stories either.
    The game is still visually impressive for a Telltale game, especially when you see the beautiful North Grove. Unfortunately, this is hindered by an often choppy framerate and texture glitches. During fast sequences, it's hard to keep track of what's happening because frames are skipped, and at one point my player character lost all facial features, becoming a terrifying mess.
    It's weird how much of an emphasis the late game puts on the decisions you've made throughout the game, given how little impact they have, but I'll at least give the game credit for keeping with the Game of Thrones style and telling the tale in an interesting way.

    Overall, the game isn't outright bad, but as both a Telltale fan and a Game of Thrones fan, it's disappointing. I was left unsatisfied at the end, and despite there being many enjoyable moments throughout the 6 episodes, I don't feel like I'm taking much away with it, like I did with other episodic games like Life is Strange or Telltale's The Walking Dead.    … Expand
