    Great game, great potential. The style is the pure from the show and the books. Too bad for a not so consistent score. But the acting and the story are amazing. The controls are a bit rusty compared to The Walking Dead or other TT games.

    Although it's kinda slow at some points, I love the plot so far and can't wait for the next chapter. The graphics are far from perfect, but as long as the plot positives covers it, I have no problems at all. Also there's really small amount of interaction with surroundings, only thing you can do is "Look At" :/

    Anyway, you have to check it.

    Welcome to the world of Telltale games, a universe where any gamer involved plays a linear video until completion.

    As any game with the above description best avoided altogether, unless of course assuming that your one of those "gamers" who would rather watch their games puttie-pie.

    There is always the illusion that as gamers we are given some sense of control. Through any dialogue offered, items used, decisions made, those choices will lead to different outcomes, multiple endings, drastically affecting any game experience outside of the offered video. Nonsense. The Telltale model has been the same on all their games. Play one play them all, why is this one any different sucker, you keep on paying them, for these video's to be watched in premium.

    I largely don't care about the story, all games are a form of fantasy. I rarely care about characters, one pixel is as good as the next. I do not empathize because I love my shoot'em'ups and that is the reality of a game which has me respawn. Although I care about the game. How an aesthetically pleasing universe offered, gives me a chance to explore through my game play its creation, making me to consider playing time and time again. Not because I have gone through all the motions of listening to endless animation to complete an easy video, where by bashing those buttons has, little, to no effect. That the majority of game time has me not actually gaming, at anything, either a load screen, animation, or dialogue.    … Expand

    I don't.. I don't understand how people enjoyed this iteration from Telltale. I'm a huge fan of The Wolf Among Us and the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands.

    This game was awful. The writing and pace of this story was horribly slow and only barely managed to pick up just before the credits rolled.

    This game was awful. The writing and pace of this story was horribly slow and only barely managed to pick up just before the credits rolled. The art style is very pixelated which I wasn't a fan of and you spend the entire game playing a coward apprentice, a small child, and a selfish, entitled young girl.

    The young boy had easily the most interesting part in the story, which isn't saying much. The game was full of horrible dialogue and overly dramatic facial animations (mainly frowns) and unnecessarily drawn out conversations.

    I played this, along with two of my friends, one being a female.. All three of us were disappointed and thought it was incredibly boring and weak-written.

    And yet it's getting praise from just about every media outlet and gaming forum. Normally I consider myself to be with the majority, as far as game opinion is concerned, but I don't understand why everyone is going so crazy over this game.

    It is easily the weakest of all the Telltale games available currently. Even though it was only a first episode, it doesn't even compare to the blowout that was the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands and I'm not even a fan of the Borderlands universe. Yet both games are getting 8/10's as if on the same level.    … Expand

    Overall it left a positive impression on me. I enjoyed the story/stories from the different characters (some more than others.)

    It's just a shame that the game is basically broken, which ruins your immersion. Ridiculously long loading times, extreme lag (causing you to miss some quick time events and having to replay sections), sound cutting out, etc. I don't know how this was even    Overall it left a positive impression on me.

Oddly "Tales from the Borderlands", which was released at the same time, runs much better.

    In the end "Game of Thrones" is still worth playing - as long as you're willing to live with regular technical interruptions. (If you have the option, perhaps consider playing it on different platform. I hear the Android version is much better.)    … Expand

    This game is painfully bad on just about every level. The story line stinks. Your choices don't seem to matter. No matter what you choose it seems like you always lose. And it runs unacceptably slow on the xbox 360.

    I thought that by the final chapter you'd have a chance to come out ahead somehow. But nope, the final chapter is just a set up for the sequel. There is no closure of a single thread of the story line.

    I think one reviewer really nailed it when he said: "don't play this game unless you like getting punched in the face repeatedly."    … Expand

    LOVED this game!

    Telltale's spinoff of the GoT series was better that I had ever imagined! The start was slow, but very good for character development. I quickly realised to who I connect the most. Story-wise it was kind of the traditional Telltale way of telling the story - you can't please everyone. No matter your choices, somebody will be mad at you.

Story-wise it was kind of the traditional Telltale way of telling the story - you can't please everyone. No matter your choices, somebody will be mad at you.

    This game, compared to the previous Telltale games, has more re-playability potential, I feel. Having completed it just once, I can't say it for sure, but a lot of choices I made leave me wondering and eager to give this one another go.

    On the technical side of things, since it was pulled from the shops, only way to play it is by having a physical copy of it, which sadly leaves no room for glitch and bug updates. During my playthrough I encountered a lot of visual and sound bugs - some actually as big as impacting my decision making (the screen would froze whenever loading in on the next visual part, and sometimes left me barely any time to read what were my choices etc)

    On that note, I knocked off a point from overall. I just can't rate it for what it could be, if it is not. Other than that, this game is a masterpiece and I highly recommend to pick it up if you're either a fan of GoT or TellTale games in general. Have yourself an interactive movie marathon!    … Expand
