For fans of the TV show, it’s a great way to see some of your favourite (or most hated) characters in situations not within the show, and choosing whether to impress Margaery Tyrell or trying to out-think Cersei Lannister, going up against these characters – voiced by their actual actors – adds a great dimension to the game. The story revolves around the Forrester family – bannermen to House Stark – as they fight on multiple fronts to keep their house from collapsing under various forces. So whether you’re looking for something to fill the gaps before the next season, or the next book, the game itself acts like an episode within the series, complete with “clockwork automaton” opening titles, a huge cast of interwoven storylines, and more importantly, lots of dire situations and shocking deaths. And even as the TV show runs out of book to tell – making the upcoming season largely a mystery for most viewers (spoiler: winter is coming) – Telltale’s rendition treads new ground from the beginning.


Telltale’s GoT tells an episodic tale that runs tangential to the main HBO series. It’s been a crazy ride from start to finish, and now that the dust has settled with the release of episode 6 of the adventure game, here’s a spoiler-free look at what we think about it, whether you’ve played all or it, or none of it. It’s been almost a year-long wait to reach the finale, but here it is: The complete first season of Game Of Thrones – A Telltale Games Series.
