    With an increase in action, Game of Thrones: Episode 5 - A Nest of Vipers exists as an improvement over the series' recent episodes, and sets up a potentially grand finale with a shocking ending.

    That's the power of Telltale's unique brand of tailored-by-the-player storytelling: a real sense of authorship and ownership. And that's what I want more of in the season finale. If somebody's going to save House Forrester from ruin, it better be me, dammit.

    After four successful episodes, Nest of Vipers is a borderline disaster. It feels rushed and sloppy compared to the ebb and flow of the previous episodes.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I've invested in the season pass so will continue playing the game but its 5 episodes in now and I don't seem to of got any redemption from any major character. Once again its an endless cycle of playing with the main characters and making decisions that are only detrimental to the character as opposed to getting some sense of satisfaction or revenge for everything that's gone on in the last 4 episodes. That's what drags my score down here as it made the overall gameplay a little disappointing as once again you are thrust into loosing another character and it becomes a little demoralizing.… Full Review »
